Responsibilities
• AIStor Product Narrative and Positioning: Own the messaging and positioning that defines AIStor as the data foundation for enterprise AI. Establish AIStor's role as primary storage for objects and tables across the full AI lifecycle, and keep that narrative consistent across web, sales, analyst, and partner surfaces. AIStor is positioned as primary AI storage, never as cold storage, archive, or a backup target. • AIStor Product Narrative and Positioning: • Messaging and Differentiation: Develop clear, technically grounded messaging that separates AIStor from alternatives on performance, scale, simplicity, and standards-based, no-lock-in architecture. Translate engineering work and benchmark results into claims that hold up with technical buyers, qualified by configuration and workload. • Messaging and Differentiation: • Product Launch Execution: Drive go to market strategy and execution for AIStor launches and major feature releases. Coordinate cross-functionally with Product Management, Engineering, Field, Sales, and Communications to land launches that move pipeline, and align AIStor's story with the broader portfolio of objects, tables, and context memory. • Product Launch Execution: • Solutions Marketing for AIStor Use Cases: Build solutions content that shows how AIStor solves specific customer problems, including AI training data lakes, large-scale analytics and table workloads, multimodal data pipelines, and serving as the high-throughput data foundation under modern inference stacks. • Solutions Marketing for AIStor Use Cases: • Competitive Enablement: Own the competitive program for AIStor. Build and maintain battlecards, talk tracks, and teardown content that give the field a defensible, accurate view of how AIStor compares, with claims that stand up under scrutiny and do not boomerang onto MinIO's own positioning. • Competitive Enablement: • Field Enablement: Build and deliver the enablement content (battlecards, talk tracks, customer presentations, technical briefs) that lets sales engineers and account teams confidently sell AIStor to AI infrastructure buyers, platform engineers, and data platform owners. • Field Enablement: • Content Ownership: Produce and govern the core AIStor content library, including reference architectures, solution briefs, datasheets, and customer-facing narratives, maintaining a consistent technical voice and house style across all of it. • Content Ownership:
