Who you are

- Proven track record of partnering with Sales to generate and convert pipelines through effective sales enablement and funnel nurturing

What the job involves
- At Lightdash, we’re focused on making sure people truly understand the impact of what we’re building. If you're passionate about storytelling, showing users the value of a product, and taking a hands-on approach to launches, we’d love for you to join us as our Founding Product Marketer
- In this role, you’ll be shaping how we talk about our product and making sure it connects with our users. You’ll work closely with the product, growth, and design teams to bring new features to life and help people get the most out of what we offer. You’ll be at the heart of how we grow, from launching new updates to keeping the momentum going
- Champion user success: You’ll translate our product’s features into stories that help users see the value of Lightdash. From product launches to ongoing updates, you’ll craft messaging that connects
- Be the Lightdash voice: As the go-to expert, you’ll stay on top of new features and ensure we’re communicating effectively through all channels, from blog posts to webinars
- Create engaging content: You’ll produce tutorials, demos, and thought leadership pieces that educate and excite users about best practices in analytics
- Drive go-to-market strategy: You’ll own the product marketing strategy, working with sales, product, and customer success to boost adoption and growth
- KPIs owned by the role:
- Product Adoption: Increase in user adoption and engagement post-product launch
- Lead Generation: Number of qualified leads generated through product marketing initiatives
- Customer Feedback: Positive customer feedback and satisfaction ratings related to product messaging and positioning
- Sales Enablement: Improved sales performance, as evidenced by shorter sales cycles and increased conversion rates
- Content Performance: Engagement metrics for content, including traffic, shares, and conversion rates from marketing materials
- Market Awareness: Growth in brand awareness and market share within target segments
Our take
Lightdash was founded with the goal to help customers analyse their data by proposing relevant tests and thresholds to track, allowing users to customise queries by adding their own metrics. The platform currently supports most major data warehouses including Snowflake and BigQuery, with the plan to keep broadening coverage.
Founders Hamzah Chaudhary and Oliver Laslett’s background as data scientists and software engineers gives them a significant advantage when developing a tool that aims to simplify the day-to-day for these types of employees. Lightdash tests the quality of the data directly from the customer’s data warehouse and reports any potential issue, allowing the client to visualise the results on a customised dashboard that requires no coding skills.
Crucially, Lightdash is open-source. That means it prioritises integrations by default unlike Looker which, being owned by Google, has resulted in decreased interoperability with systems outside of GCP.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Lightdash
- We're lucky to have access to a large network of people in tech. We provide underrepresented employees with the resources and intros they need to connect with external mentors in their group to provide support and promote growth
- Being remote-first gives us the opportunity to "let folks have a life outside of work". We want that, and we understand that for certain groups of people, it's a requirement to be able to work from somewhere that isn't an office and have more flexible working hours.
- We ask ourselves regularly if we're doing enough in hiring a diverse team. Then, we ask ourselves if we're doing enough to promote diversity once someone is part of the team. We talk openly about what we're doing to promote diversity. We want our team to be able to question our efforts and talk about what we can do to improve.
