Founded in 1990, Open Systems is a leading provider of secure SD-WAN. We combine next-generation technology, machine learning-enhanced operational processes, and the world’s top engineers to deliver an end-to-end, fully integrated SD-WAN for our customers. That means secure operations and availability of business-critical applications and ICT infrastructures for global companies, institutions and NGOs in more than 180 countries around the clock, 365 days a year. 

Due to the rapid expansion of our client base we are enlarging our team. Currently, we are looking for support in our Product Marketing department to fill the position as a 

Product Marketing Manager

Your challenge: 

As a Product Marketing Manager, your mission is to identify technical sweet spots in our products so that you can convey the technical, as well as the business value of the Open Systems products and services to our customers, prospects and partners.

You build the bridge between Product Development, Sales, Customer Success and Marketing by translating complex technical concepts into inspiring product positioning and value propositions. 

A Product Marketing life cycle usually looks as follows:

• Start your journey by consulting with our Development team about technical details of new products/services


• Once you have clarified the technical aspects, you conduct external market research in order to create product messaging that sets new products apart from others in the market and gives them a unique selling point


• Afterwards, you create the content such as slide decks, solution briefs, case studies, videos, website copy and blog posts with internal and external providers and review the results with our Development, Customer Success, Marketing and Sales teams


• In the end, you participate in the launch of these products/services with our Product Management and take part in customer/prospect meetings to support Sales (Engineering) with product communication 


• You will also be representing Open Systems as a speaker at internal and external events, such as webinars and industry events 

Your qualifications:

Due to the nature of this position and the amount of interdisciplinary work, you need to be a “people person” who enjoys being in contact with different stakeholders and who is not afraid to ask questions. As a Product Marketing Manager you will be a vital part of our global Marketing department and you can count on the support of your young and dynamic colleague in the same position.

Depending on your experience, you will work either independently or in close relation with the Head of Marketing.

We want to hear from you if:

•  You are technically fluent, i.e. comfortable dealing with technical information and can translate technical capabilities into customer benefits


•  You are a fluent English speaker and proficient in writing

What we offer:

Open Systems will offer you interesting challenges in the dynamic and global environment of SD-WAN and IT security. You will be working in an environment in which innovative solutions, rapid development times, creativity and open communication are practiced and continuously fostered.
