Customer Marketing & Community Manager

Harness is led by technologist and entrepreneur Jyoti Bansal, founder of AppDynamics (acquired by Cisco for $3.7B). The company has raised ~$570M in Series E venture funding, is valued at $5.5B, and backed by top investors including Goldman Sachs, Menlo Ventures, IVP, Google Ventures, J.P. Morgan, Capital One Ventures, Citi Ventures, ServiceNow, Splunk Ventures and more. Harness is building the industry’s leading AI-powered software delivery platform, enabling teams worldwide to build, test, and deliver software faster, safer, and more reliably. Writing code is only 30–40% of the engineering lifecycle — the rest involves testing, deployments, security, compliance, and optimization. Harness brings AI and automation to this outer loop, turning complex, time-consuming workflows into streamlined processes at massive global scale.

The platform includes industry leading products in CI/CD, Feature Flags, Cloud Cost Management, Service Reliability, Chaos Engineering, Software Engineering Insights, Internal Developer Experience, and API discovery, observability, governance, and runtime protection. Over the past year, Harness powered 128M deployments, 81M builds, 1.2T API calls protected, and $1.9B in cloud spend optimized, helping customers like United Airlines and Choice Hotels accelerate releases by up to 75% and achieve 10x DevOps efficiency. With employees in over 25 countries, Harness is shaping the future of AI-driven software delivery — and we’re looking for exceptional talent to help us move even faster.

We’re looking for a highly organized, creative, and customer-obsessed Customer Marketing & Community Manager to help bring our customer stories and community programs to life. In this role, you’ll own the day-to-day execution of key advocacy and engagement programs — ensuring they run smoothly, deliver measurable impact, and continuously engage our customers.

You’ll collaborate closely with marketing, customer success, and product teams to activate customer voices through events, community programs, and storytelling initiatives. You’ll also play a pivotal role in evolving our EngineeringX community, driving recruitment, engagement, and thought leadership content that builds lasting relationships with our audience.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated marketer who thrives on building relationships, driving operational excellence, and turning great ideas into consistent, impactful programs

• Support the overall program management and growth of the EngineeringX community, a network of senior engineering leaders focused on advancing technology, fostering leadership, and building meaningful connections.
• Drive member recruitment and develop new ways to grow community membership. 
• Collaborate with Field CTOs and internal experts to curate and publish thought leadership content and blogs. 
• Own  community communications, including weekly newsletters, event invitations, and lifecycle-based messaging — with an emphasis on segmentation, relevance, and member engagement. 
• Develop and execute a virtual event strategy that drives community engagement through curated workshops, peer discussions, and technical sessions that promote engineering excellence, innovation, and meaningful member connections.
• Ensure the community delivers clear, measurable value through curated events, expert resources, peer collaboration, and experimentation-driven programming that helps members grow their teams and careers.
• Track and report on community health and engagement over time, including participation trends, content performance, and experimentation outcomes, and use insights to inform future programming.
• Manage the day-to-day execution of on-going customer marketing programs — ensuring timelines, communications, and deliverables stay on track.
• Coordinate customer storytelling initiatives across events, webinars, and conferences — sourcing speakers, prepping presenters, and supporting on-site logistics.
• Assist in the execution of Customer Advisory Board logistics, including scheduling, communications, and post-meeting summaries.

• 3–5 years of experience in customer marketing, community management, field marketing, or related roles — ideally in B2B SaaS or DevOps.
• Strong project management and organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple programs and priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you’re as comfortable writing a customer spotlight as you are drafting a community email.
• A natural relationship-builder who enjoys collaborating across teams and working directly with customers.
• Detail-oriented with a passion for operational consistency, process improvement, and using data to guide decisions.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment where creativity meets accountability.
