This role is central to evolving our platform into an AI-ready, composable foundation for modern digital experiences.

Enterprises depend on Contentful to deliver consistent, scalable content across brands, regions, and channels. In this role, you’ll partner with engineering, design, research, and go-to-market teams to deeply understand the needs of content creators, marketers, engineers, and other enterprise stakeholders — and translate those into impactful product outcomes.

You’ll partner with engineering, design, research, architecture, and go‑to‑market teams to deeply understand the needs of content creators, marketers, developers, and enterprise architects and translate those needs into impactful platform outcomes that internal teams and external developers love.

• Drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Contentful’s core platform services.
• Translate long-term platform vision into incremental value for both customers and internal product teams.

• Apply first-principles reasoning and strong analytical skills to uncover opportunities that unlock efficiency and collaboration for enterprise content teams.

• Define clear success metrics, track impact, and adjust course as needed.
• Collaborate with sales, marketing, and customer success to ensure strong adoption and positioning of your product.
• Act as a passionate advocate for enterprise content teams, bringing their perspective into every decision.

What you need to be successful

• 5+ years experience in B2B Software; preferably with a platform and/or technical product.

• Highly analytical, with experience using data to size opportunities, guide decisions, and measure success.
• Proven track record of highlighting opportunities for enterprise customers, ideally in domains serving marketing personas.
