- Own our open-source growth loop, from GitHub stars to community engagement and content
- Build and manage co-marketing and integration partnerships
- Identify and pursue distribution opportunities across developer marketplaces and ecosystems
- Lead positioning and messaging for product and marketing initiatives
- Manage or collaborate with writers, designers, and freelancers to produce content and assets
- Measure performance and continuously iterate to improve KPIs
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience driving go-to-market execution at a devtools, B2B SaaS, or open source company
- Strong operator with the ability to turn strategy into action and deliver results
- Understanding of software developers and modern software delivery
- Hands-on experience with product launches, content, partnerships, and growth channels
- Resourceful, self-managed, and comfortable working in a lean, async environment
- Strong communicator and collaborator across functions
- Bonus: experience growing open source projects or developer communities
Benefits
