Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the overarching Compute narrative and messaging architecture, and hold it consistent across every customer, partner, analyst and investor touchpoint.
  • Lead launch strategy and messaging for major Compute products and technical milestones, working from the technology roadmap through to market-ready storylines.
  • Translate complex quantum capability into clear, differentiated positioning that stands up to technical scrutiny.
  • Partner with cross-product marketing and with Marketing and Communications so that divisional and corporate stories reinforce each other rather than compete.
  • Build the operating model for Compute marketing, setting priorities, quality standards and the plan for growing the function.

Requirements

  • To be successful, you will need a strong record in B2B technology marketing or product marketing at a senior level, gained in technically complex markets where the category was still being defined.
  • We are looking for someone who can earn the trust of scientists and engineers, get to the heart of what a technology actually does, and turn that into a story a commercial audience will act on.
  • We do not require prior quantum experience. Relevant backgrounds include cloud infrastructure, AI and machine learning, high performance computing, semiconductors, cybersecurity, aerospace, advanced computing and scientific instrumentation.
  • Experience leading marketing for a technically deep product portfolio, owning positioning and narrative rather than campaign execution alone.
  • A portfolio of executive-level messaging, product launches and thought leadership that you personally shaped.
  • A track record of influencing senior executives on market narrative, launch strategy and competitive positioning.
  • Experience working directly with product management and engineering in milestone-driven environments.
  • Comfort operating where the market is still being educated and the category narrative is actively being defined.
