In this role, you’ll be at the intersection of product strategy, content creation, and go-to-market execution. You’ll help define product positioning and messaging, drive the creation of technical and thought leadership content, and ensure a cohesive story reaches our key audiences—customers, partners, developers, and the broader market.

- Produce and manage content across the funnel from awareness and thought leadership to conversion and sales enablement.
- Create content for major product launches, ecosystem announcements, and technical storytelling initiatives.
- Support cross-functional content production efforts across text, graphics, video, and multimedia.
- Support the development and maintenance of editorial processes to ensure quality, consistency, and alignment to brand and technical standards.
- Measure and optimize content performance to drive engagement, brand authority, and lead generation.
You’d be a good fit with:
- 5 - 7+ years in product marketing, content marketing, or similar roles in a highly technical field (quantum, AI, cloud, HPC, etc.).
- Proven ability to translate technical concepts into clear, compelling messaging and content.
- Experience developing product marketing messaging frameworks

- Experience owning content strategy and execution across multiple platforms and formats.
- Strong writing portfolio, with examples across blog, sales collateral, website, or executive content.
- Familiarity with inbound marketing, integrated campaigns, and funnel-oriented content creation.
- Exceptional organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- A highly collaborative approach to internal stakeholders, including senior executives
You’d be a great fit with:
- Experience managing creative and content vendors or agency partners.
- Knowledge of the quantum computing, HPC, or deep tech ecosystem.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying “U.S. Person” (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
