Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Proactively identify, source, and cold-outreach high-potential developer platform partners (Replit, Lovable, Vercel, Bolt, Builder.io) and serve as their primary point of contact for all Developer Marketing activities at Auth0.
  • Evaluate how prospective partners fit our integration ecosystem and strategize how the partnership drives developer signups and activation.
  • Influence internally and externally without formal authority — advocating for partner work to be prioritized on the product roadmap, while simultaneously getting partners to prioritize Auth0 in their own ecosystems.
  • Lead co-marketing campaigns with Dev Partners (e.g., Vercel, Replit, Lovable, Bolt, Builder.io), including designing campaigns from 0 1, executing end-to-end, and tracking success.
  • Drive event presence with partners, including hackathons, conferences, webinars, demo nights, and third-party events.
  • Collaborate with Product and Advocacy teams to translate technical integrations into compelling developer narratives (blogs, landing pages, videos).
  • Align with Demand Gen to ensure developer-first positioning in enterprise campaigns.
  • Track KPIs such as signups, activations, and engagement to measure ROI and optimize campaigns.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in partner marketing, developer marketing, or a technical product role with a partnership component.
  • Demonstrated ability to source and close cold partnerships — not just manage warm inbound relationships.
  • Strong cross-functional influence skills; comfortable driving prioritization decisions with product teams and external partners without formal authority.
  • Technical fluency sufficient to evaluate integration complexity, understand product roadmap tradeoffs, and assess what a partnership requires to go live.
  • Proven success running joint go-to-market campaigns with external partners, ideally in developer tools, SaaS, or startup ecosystems.
  • Strong storytelling ability to translate technical features into developer-first value propositions.
  • Experience supporting event marketing (meetups, hackathons, conference sponsorships).
  • Data-driven mindset with experience measuring campaign performance and iterating.
  • Deep understanding of how developers discover, evaluate, and adopt new tools.

Preferred

  • Hands-on familiarity with the modern AI developer tooling ecosystem — platforms like Vercel, Replit, Lovable, Bolt, Builder.io, and similar. Understands these communities from the inside, not just as a marketer.
  • Experience with AI-native or vibe-coding platforms (V0, Lovable, Cursor, or similar).
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced environment (startup, SaaS, or open-source ecosystem).
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field.
