AI in this role
Manage marketing operations and automation processes, leveraging AI tools and LLM platforms to scale go-to-market execution.
For more than a decade, Cockroach Labs has built database technology trusted to power some of the world's most mission-critical applications. Now, as AI transforms how software is created and operated, the infrastructure behind it has to keep pace. Cockroach Continuum is built to meet this moment, bringing individual databases together into one fleet designed for agentic applications, where AI agents help teams provision, scale, and optimize workloads at machine speed.
The customers you’ll work with are some of the most innovative businesses in the world, and the problems they’re trying to solve are real and urgent. You’ll bring a genuinely differentiated product to a market moving fast, at a company positioned to lead it. The people who thrive here are the ones who want to own that opportunity.
The Role
At Cockroach Labs, we're building a modern, AI-first marketing organization. We're looking for a Marketing Operations Manager who is excited about combining operational excellence with emerging AI technologies to help scale our go-to-market engine.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across Demand Generation, Field Marketing, RevOps, and GTM Engineering. You'll also join a best-in-class Marketing Operations team that values collaboration, knowledge sharing, experimentation, and continuous improvement. We support each other, learn from one another, and constantly push ourselves to innovate and build for what's next.
You'll have access to tools such as Clay, Openprise, n8n, leading LLM platforms, Marketo, Salesforce and a GTM Engineering team to help bring new ideas to life. We believe the future of marketing operations is increasingly agentic, automated, and data-driven, and we're looking for someone who wants to help shape that future.
