Summary of the Sr. Technical Content Marketing Manager job at CIQ

POSITION SUMMARY

We are looking for a Sr. Technical Content Marketing Manager who can bridge the gap between deep technical expertise and compelling marketing storytelling. This role is responsible for creating high-quality written content: blog posts, white papers, solution briefs, case studies, and executive summaries that make complex technical concepts accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Linux, HPC, and/or AI infrastructure and can translate that knowledge into content that drives awareness, engagement, and pipeline.

Technical Content Creation

• Author long-form technical blog posts, white papers, solution briefs, tutorials, and case studies that showcase product capabilities and thought leadership.
• Produce executive summaries and digestible overviews of complex technical topics for C-suite, business, and non-technical audiences.
• Develop content across the full buyer journey - awareness, consideration, and decision, ensuring technical accuracy and marketing impact at every stage.
• Write and edit website copy, landing pages, email campaigns, and social media content with a technically grounded voice.

Technical Translation & Collaboration

• Partner with engineering, product management, and solution architecture teams to extract technical insights and convert them into audience-appropriate messaging.
• Attend sprint reviews, architecture discussions, and product demos to stay current on product capabilities, roadmap, and differentiators.
• Translate command-line workflows, system architectures, benchmark data, and configuration details into clear, visually supported narratives.
• Serve as the editorial bridge between R&D and marketing, ensuring technical fidelity in every published asset.

Content Strategy & Editorial Planning

• Own and maintain the technical content calendar in coordination with product marketing, demand generation, and communications teams.
• Identify trending topics and emerging themes in Linux, HPC, AI/ML infrastructure, cloud-native computing, and adjacent spaces to fuel a proactive content pipeline.
• Define and track content performance metrics (traffic, engagement, conversion, SEO ranking) and iterate based on data.
• Develop SEO-driven content strategies to increase organic visibility for key technical terms and product categories.

Cross-Functional & Go-to-Market Support

• Collaborate with the marketing, engineering, and product teams on messaging frameworks, competitive battle cards, and positioning documents, contributing from the editorial and content-creation perspective.
• Support product launches by creating launch blog posts, announcement copy, and supporting collateral.
• Assist in developing presentation decks, webinar scripts, and conference talk abstracts when content expertise is required.
• Contribute to analyst briefing materials and customer-facing documentation as needed.

NEEDED TO SUCCEED

Successful candidates will have:

• Strong hands-on background in Linux systems administration, HPC (high-performance computing), and/or AI/ML infrastructure.
• Demonstrated ability to write deeply technical content (e.g., kernel tuning, workload schedulers, GPU clusters, container orchestration) that is both accurate and engaging.
• Proven track record of translating complex engineering concepts into clear, compelling content for non-technical business audiences.
• Excellent command of written English with strong editing and proofreading skills.
• Experience working directly with engineering and product teams in an agile environment.
• Familiarity with CMS platforms, marketing automation tools, and SEO best practices.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years of experience in technical content marketing, technical writing, or developer marketing in a B2B technology environment.
