About Aiven

About the role

You'll own both the strategy and the execution across several concurrent workstreams deciding how Aiven builds relationships, shows up and stands out in a crowded Bay Area market. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Based in and experience working in a similar marketing role in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is an in-person role by design
  • Senior-level autonomy: you'll be the sole on-the-ground owner of multiple concurrent workstreams and expected to set direction as much as execute against it
  • Dogged and resourceful: an out-of-the-box thinker who's genuinely proactive, doesn't wait to be told what to do and doesn't let blockers stop them. When the obvious path is closed they find another way forward
More about this role

We’re a global team of over 400 people, working together to push the boundaries of open-source technology and multi-cloud solutions. Our vision is to help developers, builders, and creators bring their ideas to life with speed and simplicity, by providing a cloud data platform that makes open-source databases, search, streaming, and application infrastructure easily accessible to everyone.

Aiven is building a physical presence in the San Francisco Bay Area to win the companies now forming their AI infrastructure stacks. The Bay Area Marketing Lead is the on-the-ground owner of that plan: the single accountable driver of community, brand and event strategy in the territory, working alongside the Strategic Account Executive.

You'll own both the strategy and the execution across several concurrent workstreams deciding how Aiven builds relationships, shows up and stands out in a crowded Bay Area market.

  • Own and run Aiven's Bay Area community meetup program (monthly, scaling to twice monthly): decide the format and cadence, source practitioner and external speakers, and recruit non-competing co-host partners. Speakers should be majority external practitioners, not just Aiven staff.
