About The Position

Cribl does differently. What does that mean? It means we are a serious company that doesn’t take itself too seriously; and we’re looking for people who love to get stuff done, and laugh a bit along the way. We’re growing rapidly - looking for collaborative, curious, and motivated team members who are passionate about putting customers first. As a remote-first company we believe in empowering our employees to do their best work, wherever they are. As the data engine for IT and Security many of the biggest names in the most demanding industries trust Cribl to solve their most pressing data needs. Ready to do the best work of your career? Join the herd and unlock your opportunity. Why You’ll Love This Role You’re energized by creating new ways for customers to learn from each other and from Cribl, whether they’re just getting started or running advanced, multi-product deployments. You naturally spot patterns across users – who’s tackling similar problems, who’s ready for what’s next – and connect them with the right people, content, and programs. You’re the connective tissue internally and externally: broadcasting what’s new to the community, and bringing sharp, actionable feedback back into product, engineering, services, and support so we can better solve customer challenges. You’ll dig into how different cohorts prefer to learn and communicate, then build the platforms, programs, and experiences they’ll love (including ones they didn’t know they needed yet) – creating a safe, educational, and fun space to build community both online and IRL. Today, that ecosystem includes our Cribl User Slack community, the Cribl Curious knowledge base (built on Gainsight Customer Communities), and a rich library of content for hands-on labs, hackathons, and other educational programs. This role sits at the intersection of community, customer success, product, and marketing — turning practitioner engagement into faster adoption, better product experiences, and smarter go-to-market motions. It combines a technical understanding of our space with the ability to communicate clearly across different mediums and audiences. You’ll own the day-to-day health of our community properties while acting as product owner for key platforms and programs that help users learn, share best practices, and champion Cribl within their own organizations. You’ll segment and engage the community by cohort, use case, maturity level, and motivation, and you’ll build, measure, and scale programs globally so they’re repeatable, measurable, and easy to run in every region.

Requirements

6+ years of experience in community management, developer relations, customer advocacy, or related roles at a B2B SaaS or infrastructure/observability company.
Demonstrated success owning Slack/Discord or similar communities and a Q&A/forum property (e.g., Discourse, Stack Overflow, Gainsight Insided, custom platforms).
Strong program management and facilitation skills, including running user groups, online events, and community campaigns end-to-end. Strong understanding of how to stand up, document and scale programs to be run in various regions
Comfortable working with community and marketing analytics tools (e.g., CommonRoom, Google Analytics) and using data to drive decisions.
Excellent written and verbal communication; your enthusiasm gets others to join in
Proven track record collaborating with Sales, Marketing, Product, SEs, CSEs, and external partners to drive shared outcomes.
Experience in observability, security, or IT operations and familiarity with Cribl products (Stream, Edge, Search, Lake) or adjacent tooling.

Responsibilities

Design and execute a community engagement strategy that attracts, nurtures, and activates users based on adoption stage, use cases, technology stack, and desire for participation.
Segment community journeys by cohorts (e.g., new admins, power users, partners, students), use cases, maturity levels, and motivations (learn, share, lead, build) – then craft experiences tailored to each.
Formalize and document the user group program for repeatable, global scale.
Centralize content and best practices to make it easy for leaders to host high-quality sessions.

Partner with the social media team to promote community programs and surface top contributors, great threads, and big wins.
Turn community insights and stories into content that fuels adoption and advocacy.
