Senior Manager, Enterprise Developer Advocacy

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.

What You'll Do:

• Lead the NAMER Advocacy Team
  
  
• Manage, coach, and develop a team of Senior and Staff Developer Advocates across NAMER.
• Set clear expectations and priorities while giving advocates the autonomy to adapt to their accounts and developer audiences.
• Balance team load against incoming demand, owning prioritization when requests outstrip bandwidth.
  
  
• Own DevDays Delivery in NAMER
  
  
• Run the account engagement process end to end
• Work with Global DevDays Team Lead to ensure each DevDay is tailored to the customer's domain and use cases (AI agents, long-running workflows, CI/CD orchestration, legacy migration), spanning the standard, advanced, and engineering-leadership tracks.
• 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 and your team as trusted technical voices inside enterprise accounts.

What Success Looks Like:

• A motivated, well-supported NAMER Enterprise Dev Advocacy pod with clear priorities and healthy delivery capacity.
• DevDays and Office Hours that consistently hit their quality bar, surface new use cases that map to namespaces and revenue and influence new workloads and actions within accounts.
• Sales, SAs, and Dev Success in NAMER treat the Enterprise Dev Advocacy team as essential partners in driving adoption and expansion.
• Champions emerge inside target accounts at an accelerated rate, with clean handoffs into follow-up enablement and adoption plans.
• Regional execution feeds cleanly into the global DevRel strategy, with reporting that ties engagement to business outcomes.

What You Bring:

• Experience in developer advocacy, solutions engineering, developer education, or technical community work, ideally in enterprise SaaS or a developer-first company.
• People-leadership experience or a clear readiness to step into it; you can coach senior individual contributors while still doing the work yourself.
• Strong hands-on technical credibility: you can build, demo, and teach, and earn the respect of senior enterprise engineers.
• An operational, execution-first mindset: you can run a repeatable program, manage intake and prioritization, and keep commitments against an SLA.
• Comfort working cross-functionally with Sales, SAs, Dev Success, Product, and Marketing, and translating technical engagement into commercial impact.
• A genuine passion for empowering developers and creating authentic, high-trust community experiences, not sales pitches.
• Familiarity with durable execution, workflow orchestration, or distributed systems (e.g., Temporal) is a strong plus.

Compensation:

•  The estimated pay range for this role is $240,000 - $295,000.
• Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Temporal's equity plan.
