What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Content Strategy & Operations position at Confluent?
We’re not just building better tech. We’re rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn’t sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them.
It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together.
One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.
About The Role
We’re looking for a passionate leader to drive our content strategy and create compelling, performant content across the entire customer journey—from awareness to advocacy. The right candidate takes an audience-first approach to ensuring prospects, customers, and partners get the most value from Confluent. It’s not simply about sharing a corporate message. Rather, it’s about connecting data practitioners and technical executives with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the data streaming ecosystem and set their data in motion.
What You Will Do
Content Strategy & Corporate Narrative
Come As You Are
Belonging isn’t a perk here. It’s the baseline. We work across time zones and backgrounds, knowing the best ideas come from different perspectives. And we make space for everyone to lead, grow, and challenge what’s possible.
We’re proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. Employment decisions are based on job-related criteria, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other classification protected by law.
Compensation Range: $212.8K - $285K
