About The Role
Cresta is hiring a Senior Technical Product Marketing Manager to own how developers, engineers, and technical executives evaluate and implement our AI Agent platform. You will own positioning and go-to-market for the technical layer of the platform, including Conductor, our agent for building agents, the Cresta CLI, APIs, and integrations, launching new innovations at a pace that other companies can’t match. If you are the kind of product marketer who runs your own demos, can hold your own with an engineer on evals and guardrails, and can turn that fluency into compelling, differentiated storytelling that can win over a CTO, this is the opportunity for you.

Lead technical AI Agent product launches end to end, from narrative design and asset creation through field enablement, measurement, and iteration
Create compelling, differentiated technical content that generates demand and moves deals forward across a variety of mediums (e.g. guides, blog posts, pitch decks, videos, benchmarks, customer stories, and more)
Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Partnerships to deliver new products, training, events, and community programs to technical audiences
Serve as an external evangelist through webinars, hackathons, and content that the audience actually wants to read
Partner with Product and Engineering to bring market, competitive, and customer signal into roadmap prioritization
Track the competitive landscape closely and sharpen how we differentiate against agent-native competitors
Qualifications
5+ years of product marketing or solutions marketing experience, including time spent marketing to technical buyers, developers, or engineers

Proven track record owning positioning and messaging for a platform, API, or developer-facing product
Experience leading complex, cross-functional launches from strategy through execution
Exceptional writing and presentation skills, with the range to hold a room of engineers and a room of executives
Strong research and analytical instincts, and the judgment to turn customer and competitive input into a clear point of view
Ability to run several priorities at once and apply the right level of effort to each
Comfort operating with ambiguity and speed, and a bias toward building rather than waiting for a brief
Preferred Qualifications
Background marketing AI/ML, LLM, or agent infrastructure products
Experience launching a developer platform, developer ecosystem, or technology partner program
Contact center, customer experience, or CCaaS domain knowledge
Hands-on experience building with agent frameworks, or comfort writing light code
