Cockroach Labs is hiring a Staff Product Marketing Manager, AI Operations & Ecosystem in New York, New York. Posted 16 July 2026. Apply directly on Cockroach Labs's own careers site — no account needed.
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.
At Cockroach Labs, you'll solve problems that didn't exist five years ago alongside people who believe the simplest solutions often require the most sophisticated thinking. Your work will run in production at some of the most innovative companies in the world. The people who thrive here are the ones who want to own that opportunity.
We're looking for a Staff Product Marketing Manager to join our PMM team during a pivotal period of growth. This is a high-ownership role at the center of everything Cockroach Labs does: you'll own the go-to-market for a defined portfolio of product areas, serve as the go-to-market lead for our company rebrand — the biggest brand moment in our history — and act as a launch bench across one of the densest release calendars we've ever shipped, including major GA milestones across editions, deployment, and operations.
Your product portfolio anchors one of our most strategic stories — how CockroachDB runs, watches, and connects itself in production: Observability & AI-Assisted Insights (including our new autonomous monitoring agent), Workload Management, and Ecosystem & Platform Integration (change data capture and how CockroachDB plugs into the modern data stack). Together these areas sit at the heart of CockroachDB's AI-operations narrative and its “fits your stack” story, and you'll shape how the market understands them.
Product Marketing at Cockroach Labs sits inside the Product organization within R&D, which means you're embedded in the product development lifecycle from the start: you'll attend product planning, know the roadmap two quarters out, and author the “so what” for every feature that ships in your areas. If you like working with R&D in the morning, Demand Generation mid-day, and Sales in the afternoon, we'd love to hear from you.
You must be based in New York City to be eligible for this role, and will be expected to go into our office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Reporting to the Head of Product Marketing, you'll join a small, high-leverage PMM team inside the broader Product organization. Product Marketing at Cockroach Labs means you work with everyone — sales, sales enablement, solution engineering, product management, demand generation, and beyond. We like it that way: this team shapes the growth vector of the company every day.
Cockroach Labs is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you need additional accommodations to feel comfortable during your interview process, please email us at accessibility@cockroachlabs.com.
Cockroach Labs has a hybrid work model, with Roachers that are local to one of our offices coming in on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays and working flexibly the rest of the week. While we’ve learned valuable lessons working remotely, nothing can replace the connection, creativity, and fun that occurs when Roachers get together and we are committed to fostering a workplace that encourages collaboration and allows us all to do our best work.
The annual anticipated base salary range for U.S. candidates for this role is listed in USD below. Salary is one component of the Cockroach Labs’ Total Rewards package, which also includes, for each employee: stock options, medical insurance, vision insurance, dental insurance, life and disability insurance, funds towards professional development resources, flexible paid time off, 11 paid holidays a year, 10 paid sick days a year, paid parental leave, a 401(k) plan, and wellbeing benefits.
We set standard ranges for all U.S.-based roles based on function, level, and geographic location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. Actual salaries may vary and fall outside of this range depending on factors such as a candidate’s qualifications, geographic location, skills, experience, and competencies. In addition, we are often open to a wide variety of profiles, and recognize that the person we hire may be less experienced (or more senior) than this job description as posted.
Salaries for candidates outside the U.S. will vary based on local compensation structures.
This position will remain posted until filled. Applicants should apply via our Careers Page.
