Driving the Marketing Team

  • Define and execute a high-leverage marketing plan balancing the challenges faced by open-source and commercial users.

Channeling & Distribution

  • Drive brand development that will create a product market fit and “stickiness” for both the open source developer community and commercial enterprises
  • Lead the development and execution of partnerships and programs, driving engagement in the Gatsby ecosystem and constantly testing and measuring old and new ideas

Experience Needed

  • Owned a marketing function for developer-focused software products.
  • Scaled a marketing function from its early stages to fully matured (i.e. joined at Series A or B).
  • Created go-to-market strategies that required data analysis and experimentation with multiple points of entry.

  • Proven track record of people-focused leadership that drives performance to overall business objectives through collaboration.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with open source or freemium product models.

The best parts of this job

  • Empowering people is really important to us, so you will be able to have a huge impact on the success of the company and the experience of many employees.
  • We’re building the future of the web, so needless to say, you’ll get to work on a very cool product. Someone we recently talked with referred to it as “the hotness.” We liked this description.
  • Our team is the best team. Everyone says that but we mean it. They’re fun, passionate, smart, and a lot of them have pets.

The worst parts of this job

  • We’re a startup, so things are changing as we mature as a company. Changes will continue to happen frequently. You’ll need to be ready to go with the flow.
  • We’re fully distributed, which is awesome, but it can prove to be an extra spicy challenge when managing a growing team.
  • We’re working in a relatively new product space, so there’s no exact roadmap for success to lean on.

Benefits and perks

  • Unlimited vacation policy, with a minimum of 15 days paid vacation time
