Senior Manager, Enterprise Developer Advocacy

About Us

Temporal is an open source programming model that can simplify code, make applications more reliable, and help developers focus on the important things like delivering features faster. We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen.

Our values guide us —they are present in how we show up, make decisions, and work together to make an impact. We’re curious, driven, collaborative, genuine and humble.

Temporal is growing and we are looking for those who share our values, challenge ‘standard’ thinking, and want to influence our future. If you have a passion for improving the developer experience, building world-class open-source software and communities, and want to be a part of our amazing team, we’d love to hear from you!

Summary:

We’re looking for a Manager of Enterprise Developer Advocacy to lead our NAMER team of Enterprise Developer Advocates and own the execution of our enterprise- and customer-focused advocacy programs across the region.

This is a player-coach role. You’ll manage and develop a small team of senior advocates while staying close enough to the work to design curriculum, run a DevDay, or jump into a customer engagement yourself. Your mandate is to take the global strategy set by the Director and make it real in NAMER: high-quality DevDays, Enterprise Office Hours, and account engagements that deepen adoption inside our most important customers and turn engineers into champions.

You’ll be the connective tissue between our advocates and the field—partnering daily with Sales, Solutions Architects, and Developer Success so our technical engagements map to real pipeline and expansion opportunities, while protecting the authentic, non-salesy experience that makes developer advocacy work.

• Own DevDays Delivery in NAMER

  • Run the account engagement process end to end

  • Drive champion identification and structured follow-up so engagements convert into durable adoption.

• Run Enterprise-Facing Programs

  • Own NAMER’s contribution to recurring programs like Enterprise Office Hours, coordinating with Developer Education, Marketing, and the webinar team.
  • Build and maintain a reusable library of modules, labs, and decks your team can mix, match, and localize.

• Enterprise & Sales Alignment

  • Partner closely with AEs, SAs, and Developer Success to align advocacy work with pipeline, expansion, and adoption goals in the region.
  • Qualify and prioritize requests by ARR influence, opportunity stage, strategic logo value, and bandwidth.
  • Run a tight feedback loop from the field back to Docs, Education, and Product to surface enterprise developer needs.

• Hands-On Contribution & Storytelling

  • Stay technical—design and deliver sessions, build sample apps, and contribute enterprise-friendly content (patterns, integration guides, recaps, success stories).
  • Establish yourself a…
