Marketing Operations Manager

Category-defining tech. Career-defining work.

The next era of software won't operate at human scale. Applications will create applications. Systems will coordinate with systems. Data and decisions will move faster than teams can react to them. The infrastructure powering that world cannot be fragile, reactive, or limited by the assumptions of the past.

Cockroach Labs exists to build what comes next - before the world requires it.

We created CockroachDB to survive failures, scale without compromise, and adapt to changing conditions automatically. Now we're helping define a future where complexity fades into the background and infrastructure simply works, no matter the scale.

This is the kind of challenge that attracts people who want to shape industries, not just participate in them. The work is ambitious, the standards are high, and the impact is real.

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.

This role is ideal for someone who loves building systems, optimizing processes, and finding new ways to automate repetitive work.

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.

You must be based in NYC or Austin, TX to be eligible for this role, and will be expected to go into our office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
