Product Marketing Manager

Don’t let the quirky name fool you! We’re on a mission to radically transform the data analyst user experience. We empower and delight analysts using a novel cloud architecture built on top of DuckDB, an open source foundation with a vibrant community. Our team is a diverse mix of passionate, collaborative and empathetic data industry veterans from Google, Amazon, Meta, Snowflake, Looker, SingleStore, Databricks, and the like.

As our Product Marketing Manager, you’ll be the bridge between product and the broader market. You’ll help us hatch compelling narratives, enable sales and developer success, and make sure our value proposition sings louder than a loon.

This is a hybrid role that can be based in Seattle, San Francisco or New York.

• Craft messaging that quacks: Build clear, differentiated messaging that helps developers, analysts, and data teams understand why MotherDuck is the fastest (and most fun) way to run DuckDB.

• Launch what we ship: Own go-to-market (GTM) strategy for new features and products—from positioning and pricing to enablement and announcements.

• Know our flock: Develop deep customer and market insights to inform product, pricing, and packaging decisions.

• Enable the nest: Create sales and partner enablement assets—pitch decks, one-pagers, competitive battlecards, and more.

• Tell the story: Collaborate on blog posts, landing pages, demo videos, and release notes that showcase how MotherDuck makes data fly.

• Measure the splash: Define success metrics and help track adoption, conversion, and product-market fit across key segments.

• Proven experience in product marketing or a related GTM role in data, analytics, or developer tools

• You’re fluent in data problems, familiar with modern data stacks, and excited about databases (especially DuckDB!)

• Experience with product launches, sales enablement, and market research

• Excellent writing and storytelling chops—especially when translating technical features into customer benefits

• A collaborative nature and excitement to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, DevRel, and Sales

• Bonus points if you’ve marketed to data teams, analysts, or infrastructure engineers

• “They’re a natural translator between technical and non-technical teams.”

• “They always know which feathers to ruffle to get a GTM plan off the ground.”

• “They turn vague ideas into messaging that sticks like bread to a duck’s bill.”

• Feather-ruffling compensation – competitive salary and stock options so you have a stake in our flock’s success.

• Top-notch healthcare coverage – 100% paid medical, dental, and vision for employees, plus 80% coverage for dependents (because we care about your whole nest).

• Flexible PTO – take the time you need to recharge, explore, or just have a lazy day by the pond.

• 401k plan – because even ducks need to plan for the future.

• Legendary company events – we bring the whole flock together twice a year for unforgettable summits in fun locations, plus 1-2 team gatherings a year to keep our bonds strong.

• Hybrid work environment – Spend three days a week in the office collaborating with the flock, and work from wherever you’re most productive the rest of the time—whether that’s your home office, a coffee shop, or a peaceful lakeside retreat.

Does this role sound appealing to you, but you’re missing some of the requirements or don’t quite think you’re qualified?  Please apply anyway. Research has shown that underrepresented groups in technology often shy away from roles which aren’t a 100% match. We aim to build a diverse team and will strongly consider applicants who bring many of the requirements plus have other experiences which round out their qualifications.
