Product Marketing Manager: Operator Lifecycle Manager, K8s, Linux, Windows apps - remote

Posted 3 years ago

For you, it has always been difficult to separate the role of Product Marketing Manager from Product Manager - as youre equally talented at both sides of the coin. If youre happiest right in the middle of user experience, technology, and go to market strategy + execution, then this role is a great fit for you.

Product Marketing Management and Product Marketing at Canonical are one and the same. Working here, youll find yourself surrounded by customer-centric, solution-focused, data-driven peers. Canonical supports a wide array of technologies ranging from the Ubuntu operating system, to bare metal, to the cloud, to the edge, and everything in between. Your colleagues are experts in their space and the opportunities for learning are limited only by your drive to understand.

Your main focus in this role is the Juju product line. Juju is, in Kubernetes terms, an operator lifecycle manager. But it is far more than a K8s OLM, because it provides model-driven operations and it is able to bring the operator pattern to many more classes of application than cloud-native apps. We aim to help devsecops take control of applications, no matter the complexity theyre dealing with: from containerized workloads across K8s clusters to traditional Linux and Windows apps on multiple clouds and infrastructure.
