Director of Developer Relations & Technical Content

<p><strong>About Acquia</strong></p> <p>Acquia empowers the world’s most ambitious brands to create digital customer experiences that matter. With open source Drupal at its core, the Acquia Digital Experience Platform (DXP) enables marketers, developers, and IT operations teams at thousands of global organizations to rapidly compose and deploy digital products and services that engage customers, enhance conversions, and help businesses stand out.</p> <p>Headquartered in Boston, MA, Acquia is a Great Place to Work-CertifiedTM company, is listed as one of the world’s top software companies by The Software Report, and is positioned as a market leader by the analyst community. We are Acquia. We are building for the future and we want you to be a part of it! </p> <p><strong>About the Role</strong></p> <p>Acquia is looking for a Director of Developer Relations & Technical Content to build and lead a team of evangelists who bring Drupal and Acquia to audiences that have never heard of us. This is a player-coach role: you will set the strategy, hire and develop the team, and personally own the digital leader and marketing technologist persona as a hands-on evangelist.</p> <p>The ideal candidate is a developer who has risen through the ranks into a digital or marketing technology leadership role or someone who has worked so closely alongside that persona that they can speak to the technical and strategic pressures with equal fluency. You understand how marketing technology stacks are built, evaluated, and championed internally. You know what keeps a digital leader up at night.</p> <p>Our thesis is simple: the way to grow Acquia is to grow Drupal's reach and that means getting outside the Drupal community. You will lead the charge to expand into new ecosystems, and in doing so, you will bring new practitioners and advocates into the Drupal community as a whole.</p> <p><strong>What You'll Do</strong></p> <ul> <li>Lead and grow a team of technical evangelists and content creators, including our existing Drupal developer advocate who owns the core Drupal/developer community audience.</li> <li>Own the strategy for developer relations beyond the Drupal bubble, designing programs that reach digital leaders, marketing technologists, and adjacent technical personas.</li> <li>Personally evangelise Acquia and Drupal to the digital leader and marketing technologist audience through content, speaking, and community as a credible peer, not a vendor.</li> <li>Be hands-on with our products at all times. You will demo, build with, and create content actively using Acquia products as the star, not as a backdrop. Talking about what our products can do is not enough; you must be seen doing it.</li> <li>Maintain an active public presence: speak at industry events
