Quantum computing is creating new possibilities across industries. As Director, Industry Marketing
, you will help the market understand where those possibilities are becoming relevant, and why Photonic matters. You will connect our technology to real applications, shape the stories that move people, and create programs that bring customers, partners, governments, and investors into the conversation. If building a market sounds like your kind of challenge, keep reading.

You will build creative, compelling, and memorable thought leadership campaigns that help industries understand quantum computing, recognize its relevance, and prepare for what comes next. You will turn ambitious ideas into integrated programs that educate, spark conversation, and build momentum for Photonic.
