About the job
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. Compensation ranges reflect salary and commission compensation (when applicable) across several geographic markets.
