Director of Product Marketing, AI

What you will do

• Define and evangelize: Own the positioning and messaging hierarchy for the Sonar platform, grounded in customer outcomes rather than feature lists, and carry that narrative across every stage of the customer journey.

• Shape the AI narrative: Build Sonar's point of view on the AC/DC (agentic SDLC), including AI coding tools, coding agents, and LLM-generated code, based on hands-on use of tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf.

• Present to customers and the market: Deliver compelling presentations directly to customers and prospects, and represent Sonar on stage at major AI coding and developer events as a recognized voice in the space.

• Energize sales: Build and deliver enablement content and positioning that does more than inform the sales team. It should get them genuinely excited and confident to sell in AI-driven deals.

• Orchestrate cross-functionally: Act as the connective link between Product, Engineering, Sales, Demand Gen, Customer Success, PR, and Analyst Relations to keep go-to-market aligned.

• Track the market: Maintain a sharp view of the competitive landscape across DevOps, AppSec, and AI tools, and turn that into input for product and sales strategy.

• Build analyst and PR relationships: Partner with communications on analyst briefings (Gartner, Forrester) and media relationships that reinforce Sonar's leadership in code quality and security.

Experience and qualifications

The ideal candidate will:

• Proven leadership: 10+ years in Product Marketing within DevOps, AppSec, or Enterprise Software, including 2+ years at Principal level or higher. Experience working closely with developers is a strong plus.

• Technical depth: Engineering degree or equivalent technical background preferred, with real understanding of the SDLC, CI/CD pipelines, and modern AI-native development.

• Hands-on agentic AI experience: Regular, current use of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, or similar) and a clear, informed point of view on how AI agents are changing software engineering. This is not theoretical knowledge, it is practiced.

• Public and customer-facing presence: A track record of delivering strong presentations directly to customers and speaking at AI coding or developer conferences. You are comfortable being the face of the product in front of a room.

• Sales enablement that lands: Experience building enablement programs that get sales teams excited to sell, not just trained on talking points.

• Strategic storytelling: Ability to connect technical detail to business value for both developers and executive buyers.

• Analyst relations: Experience engaging industry analysts and participating in major research evaluations (Gartner Magic Quadrant, Forrester Wave).

• Communication mastery: Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to simplify complex ideas for any audience.

In-office culture

We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.

Candidates need to be genuinely based in the location the role is posted — if that's not where you are today, we're happy to support relocation for the right person.
