Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing.

We're looking for a Technical Product Marketing Manager who combines deep technical understanding with strategic marketing expertise to develop go-to-market plans for our global security and compliance portfolio.

This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary, and dynamic position that requires working closely with product managers, engineering teams, and security experts to truly understand the technical capabilities of our offerings, and translate them into compelling positioning and content. You'll also collaborate with the content team, sales, and other marketing functions to drive awareness, adoption, and growth.

The ideal candidate is a technologist at heart, someone who thrives on understanding how products work under the hood and is excited to communicate their value clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You're motivated by ownership, driven by curiosity, and comfortable operating at the intersection of product and marketing. You love to get hands-on, solve problems, experiment, and build scalable marketing systems.

This role sits within the product marketing team and reports to the Product Marketing Lead

Location : This role will be based remotely in the EMEA region.

What your day will look like

• Lead the go-to-market strategy and execution for Canonical's range of security and compliance products, including messaging and positioning
• Track the competitive landscape and emerging trends to define product differentiation and value drivers
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to understand product roadmaps, and customer use cases
• Translate technical product capabilities into clear, differentiated messaging for key personas, including Executives, DevSecOps, and platform teams
• Own campaign and content planning for the security portfolio
• Use data and insights to iterate on demand generation strategies and optimize conversion throughout the funnel
• Work with other teams to plan events, webinars and support messaging for paid and social media promotion
