Software Alliance Ecosystem Manager at Canonical

This role is designed for technically-minded professionals with up to 7 years of experience who want to pivot from pure engineering or product management into business development. The ideal candidate has a strong background in software development or systems architecture but possesses the "soft skills" and strategic mindset needed to manage high-level partnerships with major tech industry players. While the base salary is not specified, Canonical offers a performance-driven annual bonus and a unique remote-first culture that includes twice-yearly international team "sprints." Standout perks include a generous $2,000 annual personal learning budget, travel upgrades for long-haul flights, and a global Priority Pass. This is a high-visibility position where you will influence the adoption of Ubuntu and open-source AI offerings across global markets. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have an engineering or science degree and a deep understanding of system architecture. * Are comfortable presenting to C-suite executives and creating technical blueprints or white papers. * Enjoy "remote-first" work but are excited by the prospect of traveling internationally up to 25% of the time. * Have a strong interest in open-source business models and the Linux ecosystem.
