Senior Manager, Strategy & Corporate Development

Forward was founded in 2013 by four Stanford Ph.D.s, building the industry's first network digital twin: a mathematically accurate model of the production network. It's the foundation for autonomous networking, giving engineers and AI agents the ability to know the impact of every change before it touches production. That founding instinct still defines how we work. We're accurate and evidence-driven, relentless about clarity, and we'd rather be certain than comfortable, building a groundbreaking platform that transforms how teams run and secure networks across every major cloud and vendor environment. Global leaders like Goldman Sachs, PayPal, S&P Global, IBM, and Dell trust Forward, alongside fast-growing enterprises and government agencies, realizing an average of $14.2 million in annual benefits, according to IDC. Backed by top-tier investors, including A. Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, MSD Partners, Omega Venture Partners, Section 32, and Threshold Ventures, and headquartered in Santa Clara, we're most proud of our team: curious people who'd rather build what doesn't exist than accept how things have always been done. We are seeking a Senior Product Marketing Manager to shape our story and own go-to-market execution for key areas of our platform. You will translate deep technical capabilities into compelling positioning and messaging, lead launches, and equip the field to win across enterprise and government organizations. Working closely with product, sales, and marketing, you will bring customer insight into strategy, influence product direction, and help customers understand how to adopt agentic operations with confidence. This is a hands-on role for a product marketer who enjoys going deep on technology, building compelling stories, and representing Forward with customers, analysts, and conference audiences to drive measurable market impact. This position reports to the Senior Director of Product Marketing at Forward. Responsibilities Own
