Staff Program Manager, Marketing Operations

About the role

Join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI as a Staff Program Manager, Marketing Operations at DigitalOcean. Reporting to the Director of Marketing Operations, you’ll be marketing leadership’s trusted planning partner — turning priorities into operating cadences, decision-ready materials, and clear owners, milestones, and outcomes. You’ll own planning and cross-functional coordination across marketing programs, co-owning execution alongside functional leads. Beyond individual programs, you’ll help shape how marketing operates as a team, including where AI-powered tools can drive more scalable, efficient ways of working.

Responsibilities

• Own planning and cross-functional coordination for marketing programs, co-owning execution with functional leads (e.g., partnering with Product Marketing on launch planning and execution) to keep initiatives moving from kickoff to completion.
• Build and run operating cadences with marketing leadership (status reviews, business reviews, planning cycles) that keep priorities, risks, dependencies, and next steps visible.
• Help define how marketing operates together — establishing the operating model, rituals, and ways of working that scale as the team and its remit grow.
• Partner across marketing's functions, along with product, sales, engineering, finance, and partner teams, to align roadmaps, launches, and go-to-market plays with measurable business outcomes.
• Track budget, resourcing, and approval workflows in support of program and partnership investments, surfacing risks and decision points to marketing leadership.
• Lead co-marketing and cross-functional program execution for partner- and customer-facing initiatives (e.g., events, campaigns, customer storytelling), connecting product content to field and business outcomes.
• Synthesize inputs from product, technical, partner, and customer stakeholders into decision-ready briefings, dashboards, and KPI reporting for marketing leadership.
• Help shape marketing operations for the AI era — identifying and implementing AI-powered tools and workflows that drive scalable operational and programmatic excellence.
