  • Stellar written and verbal communication skills

Responsibilities

  • Build content, experiences, and demos that speed up the time to ‘Whoa… that’s pretty cool!’ for Sentry users
  • Have a point of view and aren’t shy about expressing it. You get your energy from both knowing the latest trends and having a POV on which ones to ignore. Who’s working on something interesting, who influences the conversation, and who’s going to help drive the conversation forward – while linking all this back to the core problems that Sentry is solving
  • Have an ear to the street. You get excited about consolidating insights from gaps in the developer product world, cool or interesting marketing topics, and provide useful insights to shape our product and marketing direction
  • Get how to draw concentric circles around the topics that are most relevant to the core customer’s problems and where they intersect with Sentry’s world including: product experience, code-level observability, and connecting the dots between errors, performance, and metrics
  • Ride shot-gun with Engineering, Product, Design, Sales engineering, Business Ops, and nearly every function in Marketing from Comms to Product Marketing to develop the best content and great product narratives

Preferred Qualifications

  • Are someone who loves taking new features for a spin, learning how they tick, and testing them against your own projects
  • Are an educator, a builder, and a human router. And you know that the best way to get people excited about your product is to show, not sell, through cool concepts, useful technical tutorials, and by bringing brilliant people together
  • Are a prolific (and good) writer who understands how to tell a useful and relevant story in 30 words as well as weave together questions to panelists for 30 minutes
  • Get excited when you hear that your job is to do ⅓ of each: Educating through useful and timely content + building community through live and virtual gatherings + Being customer-to-product influence
  • Listen as much as you talk. And you know how to build a community organically by lifting up and promoting others that you can spot as subject-matter experts or organizations that we want to be associated with supporting
