Marketing Associate

The financial industry is growing at a record pace, but our data providers are still stuck in the past — with cumbersome onboarding processes, complicated APIs, slow infrastructure, and expensive licensing costs.

Databento is the next-generation market data provider — with the radical idea that you should only pay for the data that you use. We power the world's largest finance and fintech institutions and lower the barrier of entry for small startups, gaining over 4000 users during our first year of launch. Our team consists of former data users from firms like Two Sigma, Belvedere, Pico, Flow Traders, and Tower Research.

We offer health, dental, disability, and life insurance benefits, as well as 401(k) matching and visa sponsorships for full-time employees. We accommodate 100% remote work, with teammates living around the globe and paid in their local currency. 

Responsibilities

You'll help oversee the company's go-to-market (GTM) strategy, digital media, growth metrics, and overall marketing plan. This includes the following. 

• Lead or co-lead social media on LinkedIn and X, including valuable short-form posts, long-form technical blog posts, videos, polls, and more.
• Drive ideas and efforts to create PR, partnerships, case studies, and co-marketing opportunities with other companies in our industry.
• Improve the company's SEO and SEM strategy, as well as other digital ad placements, backlink opportunities, and website optimizations.
• Execute various inbound and outbound campaigns; track relevant metrics to determine the ROI of campaigns and marketing channels. 
• Research competitors and their marketing strategies. 
• Collaborate with executives to make decisions regarding the budget, branding, and direction of the company, including high-level decisions regarding agencies. 
• Create and maintain a successful brand and image.

Desired Qualifications

The ideal candidate can communicate with ease on various platforms (social media, blog posts, technical content, press releases, conferences, etc). We also look for the skills listed below.

• 0-2 years of internship and/or working experience in B2B SaaS in areas like SEO, digital marketing, growth marketing, social media, and/or PR. We will likely reject those with too many years of experience, as this is meant to be an entry-level position (see salary details below). 
• A natural interest in posting and engaging frequently with our community of quants and developers on LinkedIn and Twitter.
• Knowledge of CRMs like Hubspot, as well as SEO metrics, growth metrics, and content analytics. 
• An interest in quant trading, market data, and/or the financial industry. 
• A desire to work at a fast-growing fintech startup.

We pay strictly market rate for all roles at the beginning, and we get our data from Carta. The market rate starting salary for this role is $60-80k base, with equity, benefits, and performance-based bonuses. 

Notice about phishing scams
