HPC and AI Marketing Specialist

About Microway:

Microway builds High Performance Computing Solutions for research, HPC, AI, and Deep Learning. Our customers include universities, government agencies, Fortune 1000s, and beyond. Since 1982, our customers have trusted us to design and deliver unique and superior hardware and software—enabling them to remain at the forefront of supercomputing and solve the world’s toughest challenges.

If you want to deliver compelling Marketing to the engineers who design autonomous aircraft—or to those who run deep learning training on the video feeds from the NASA Mars Rovers—then you're our type of candidate.

Position Summary:

Our team is looking for a Marketing Specialist to complement our VP of Marketing.

While some skills translate, marketing for HPC is not the same as traditional technology marketing. You’ll likely need to learn how to adapt your skills and voice to the unique audience of HPC & AI practitioners. We’re here to help guide you in that.

The Microway marketing organization owns Product Marketing, Content Marketing/content creation, Microway’s digital presence, the submission tools for the inbound sales funnel, partner co-marketing/co-execution, partner product launches, 12+ Events a year, PR/Media relations, and social media. Needless to say that’s a tall mandate!

We’re looking for a Marketer who can bring experience to the table that contributes towards execution in many of these diverse domains. You don’t have to be an expert everywhere, but tell us about your expertise and ability to contribute towards a few of these areas.

Our audience is extraordinarily technical and doesn’t tolerate traditional marketing-speak. We prove ourselves to our customers by example. This includes our strong technical depth and no-nonsense advice.

If your ideas include how to talk about GPU computing in new ways or include innovative means to get into the minds of techies we want to hear from you; if you want to run a campaign all about the TCO of new HPC clusters you’re probably not the right match for us.

"Must Have" Qualifications:

At least 2 years of enterprise technology marketing expertise or similar (For those with less than the required experience we may consider training an exceptionally interesting candidate—just tell us why that's you)

Small portfolio of innovative Marketing achievements to share/show us

Experience in technology event execution/event marketing or equivalent

Demonstrated experience working with a small marketing team and desire for a small environment

Customer-facing technical writing and in-person communication skills as you’ll be at times writing high performance computing related content/product marketing materials and occasionally interacting with customers at Events

“Nice to Have” Qualifications or Skills:

Experience marketing to the HPC/AI domains

Experience solely executing or working with a 3rd party on maintaining a social media calendar

Fluency in the vernacular of AI/Deep learning experts

Graphic design expertise. Esp. using tools like InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator

Wordpress-based web infrastructure maintenance experience and/ or HTML/CSS or PHP coding skills

Outbound email marketing experience (our tooling is Mailchimp + custom code/CSS)

Technical blogging experience—esp. in the context of Wordpress-based tooling and proper post design

Knowledge of Linux and/or other open-source software (ex: other employees tinker with Linux at home)

Day to Day Responsibilities:

Support the VP of Marketing in execution of Marketing dept .responsibilities described in the Position Summary. You’ll see the largest portion of your time here, and it will be spent on where skills/prior experience match best.

Own execution of a portion of our 12+ item event calendar. These events range from a number of simple tabletop expos to a formal 20x20 booth presence.

Travel as necessary to support events—anticipated 10% or less (most months no travel, some months one trip, very rarely twice in a month).

Be the functional lead on MDF-supported program execution. Our partners NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel support us to run specific campaigns related to their products. You’ll be the leader (with assistance) on executing some of these initiatives and in supporting the co-marketing submissions.
