- Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to shape product strategy, using competitive, customer, and market insights to influence our product roadmap.
- Create and maintain a core bill of materials including web content, messaging guides, solutions briefs, product videos, pitch decks, email sequences, and internal enablement materials for the dbt platform and Fusion.
- Develop and execute product launch and campaign strategies that drive pipeline for net new customer and expansion opportunities.
- Create and maintain internal sales tools like playbooks that reflect a high degree of customer understanding and empathy.
- Work with Demand Marketing teams to ensure strategic narratives and product messaging are delivered consistently at every touchpoint.
- Measure and report on the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, using insights to drive continuous improvement.
You’re a good fit if you have:
- 4+ years of experience in product marketing, preferably within the data analytics domain.
- A proven track record of developing and executing successful marketing campaigns for B2B software products.
- Strong understanding of the data analytics industry and its challenges, with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear, compelling messaging.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a talent and passion for storytelling.
- Experience working with cross-functional teams, demonstrating strong leadership and collaborative abilities.
- Demonstrated analytical skills, with the ability to leverage data to inform marketing strategies and decisions.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
