Director of Performance Marketing

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.

You’ll oversee the company’s performance marketing strategy. This includes the following. 

• Develop and implement SEO and SEM strategies for each product launch. 
• Create and track relevant metrics to determine the return on investment of various growth and marketing channels.

• Execute various inbound and outbound marketing strategies and growth hacks. 
• Research competitors and their performance marketing strategies. 
• Collaborate with executives to make decisions regarding the budget, branding, and direction of the company. 
• Create and maintain a successful brand and image.

The ideal candidate can communicate with ease on various platforms (social media, blog posts, technical content, press releases, conferences, etc). Below are other skills that we look for. 

• Experience in the financial market data industry, and/or experience marketing an API product targeting developers.

Notice about phishing scams

Be cautious of phishing scams impersonating Databento that may offer a job interview and request that you make a purchase through a phishing link. All official Databento emails come from databento.com or, occasionally, us.greenhouse-mail.io (as Greenhouse.io is our ATS). Any other domains—such as databento-careers.com, databento.online, databento.io, databento.us, etc.—are fake.
