Product Marketing Specialist – Drive Impactful Product Messaging at a High-Growth Financial Tech Startup

At Databento, we are revolutionizing how financial firms access and leverage market data through cutting-edge APIs. As a Series A-backed company with $37.8M in funding and a 400% year-over-year revenue growth, we’re on a mission to democratize financial data for businesses of all sizes. Join our dynamic, early-stage marketing team as a Product Marketing Specialist—a hands-on role where you’ll shape messaging, execute high-impact campaigns, and play a pivotal role in scaling our product-driven growth.

This junior-to-mid-level position is your opportunity to make an immediate impact while contributing to the evolution of Databento’s marketing function. As part of a small, agile team, you’ll collaborate closely with product, sales, and growth teams to refine positioning, craft compelling narratives, and drive conversions—from concept to launch. Your work will directly influence how our audience perceives and engages with our APIs, positioning Databento as the go-to solution for modern financial data access.

What You’ll Do

In this dynamic role, your responsibilities will span the entire product marketing lifecycle, blending strategic thinking with tactical execution. Key priorities include:

• Crafting Persuasive Messaging: Develop and refine positioning, messaging, and sales collateral that resonates with technical audiences—including engineers, finance professionals, and data scientists—while aligning with Databento’s brand voice and value proposition.
• Driving Conversion-Centric Content: Write, edit, and optimize high-impact copy for landing pages, activation flows, and sales enablement materials, ensuring clarity, engagement, and measurable results. Leverage data-driven insights to continuously refine messaging for maximum impact.
• Launching High-Stakes Campaigns: Lead end-to-end product launches, from strategy and content creation to execution and performance tracking. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless alignment between marketing, product, and sales initiatives.
• Content Strategy and Distribution: Plan and execute a multi-channel content strategy, including blog posts, LinkedIn and Twitter campaigns, and founder/team amplification efforts. Amplify thought leadership to position Databento as an industry authority in financial data APIs.
• Data-Driven Activation: Partner with growth and sales teams to design and test activation flows, experiments, and conversion optimization strategies. Utilize analytics, CRM tools, and dashboards to measure performance, identify trends, and iterate on strategies for continuous improvement.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Bridge gaps between product, sales, and marketing to ensure cohesive messaging and alignment. Contribute to user acquisition, engagement, and retention strategies that scale with Databento’s growth.

Why This Role is Your Stage

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to own a critical function in a fast-moving startup where your ideas have immediate influence. You’ll work in a fully remote environment, collaborating with a global team paid in their local currency. Beyond the impact, Databento offers:

• A competitive compensation package, including 401(k) matching and comprehensive benefits covering health, dental, disability, and life insurance.
• The opportunity to grow laterally and shape the future of Databento’s marketing strategy as the team scales.
• A culture that values innovation, collaboration, and ownership, where your creativity and technical acumen will be both encouraged and rewarded.

Who You Are

• 2+ years of experience in marketing, communications, or a related field, with a strong emphasis on copywriting, content strategy, or brand messaging. Experience in B2B or technical marketing is a significant advantage.
