We are looking for a Senior Program Manager who is passionate about bringing planning rigor and scalable operational excellence to marketing - including shaping how we operate in the era of AI.As a Senior Program Manager at DigitalOcean, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI. 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 - for example, partnering with our Product Marketing Lead to bring the programmatic rigor that keeps product launches on track. 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.
What You'll Do:- 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.
Key Metrics:- On-time delivery rate for marketing programs and campaign launches
- Stakeholder satisfaction with program management and planning support
- Program cycle time from kickoff to launch
- Budget and resourcing forecast accuracy
- Roadmap adherence and reduction in scope churn
