• Running developer and technical programs end to end, including podcasts, webinars, livestreams, workshops, and onboarding sessions
• Turning DevRel content and expertise into repeatable programs that support Cloud and Security launches and campaigns
• Supporting SLG with field events and customer briefings for target accounts, and PLG with programs that drive sign-ups
• Leading Akamai's developer and open source presence across KubeCon, the CNCF, The Linux Foundation, and projects like Spin
• Managing the budget, vendors, sponsorships, and ROI of each program, and reporting outcomes back to stakeholders
• Owning the developer program calendar with DevRel and product marketing, scaling what works and retiring what doesn't

• Have 8 years of relevant experience in developer, community, or program marketing and a degree in Marketing, another related field or its equivalent
• Have experience running recurring developer, member, or customer programs such as webinars, livestreams, and newsletters at scale
