Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the global events roadmap — aligning content, programs, and experiences to company goals, product launches, and go-to-market plans.
  • Lead cross-functional collaboration with executive, product, and marketing stakeholders to deliver high-impact keynotes, breakout sessions, and activations that drive audience acquisition and pipeline.
  • Architect a global event brand framework, ensuring narrative consistency and production excellence across all owned and sponsored properties — including transforming event web experiences to maximize inbound registration and engagement.
  • Create immersive experiences that extend beyond the main stage — tying in ancillary programming, networking activations, and pre/post-event engagement that deepen relationships and keep momentum alive.
  • Work with the channel sales team to design and execute high-impact demand-generation programs and sales plays with key channel partners, with an initial focus on North America.
  • Build and own individual marketing plans for ~15 select global channel partners — including target accounts, joint plays, quarterly milestones, and shared KPIs.
  • Launch co-marketing motions that increase deal registrations: exclusive partner events, webinars, ABM campaigns, digital programs, and co-branded thought leadership.
  • Collaborate with Product Marketing to build co-branded toolkits, sales playbooks, and partner-facing content that translates MinIO's technical value into partner-friendly messaging.
  • Orchestrate joint marketing motions with strategic technology alliance partners — including NVIDIA, Databricks, F5, Starburst, and others — through co-sponsored events, solution showcases, joint content, and integrated campaigns that amplify reach across shared audiences.
  • Develop and manage co-marketing plans with priority alliance partners, identifying shared customer segments and use cases to create joint demand-generation programs, reference architectures, and "better together" narratives that drive pipeline for both organizations.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of B2B marketing experience with 10+ years leading event, partner, and/or field marketing within infrastructure, cloud, data, or storage software..
  • A builder's mindset — you thrive in environments where programs don't yet exist and you need to create them from scratch. You are as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are on a keynote stage.
  • Proven channel partner expertise — a track record of working directly with partners and their marketing teams to execute joint demand-generation campaigns that deliver measurable pipeline.
  • Analytical rigor — you lead with data, build dashboards, and use performance insights to continuously optimize programs and investment.
  • Experience operating in a high-growth company.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • 401K with 3% Contribution
  • Pre-IPO Stock Options
  • At least 12 Public Holidays
  • Flexible Time Off
  • Equal Opportunity Policy (EEO)
