About MotherDuck

Don’t let the quirky name fool you: At MotherDuck, we’re on a mission to make data warehousing fun, frictionless, and ducking awesome for developers and data practitioners building blazing fast internal and customer-facing analytics experiences. We're building a cloud-hosted version of DuckDB, working hand-in-hand with the creators of the fastest-growing and fastest-improving query engine on the planet. Unlike other databases, MotherDuck was architected to unify local development with cloud operations to bridge the gap between software and data engineering workflows. Our team is a mix of thoughtful, passionate, and empathetic data industry veterans.

What You Will Do

At MotherDuck, we believe demand generation is more than just capturing leads—it’s about creating thoughtful, engaging, and strategic marketing programs that build lasting relationships and drive pipeline growth. We’re looking for a Demand Generation Marketer to own and execute campaigns that attract, nurture, and convert prospects into lifelong customers.

This role can be based in our New York City, San Francisco, or Seattle hubs.

Develop and execute multi-channel demand generation programs that drive awareness, engagement, and conversion across digital, events, and content marketing.
Own and optimize paid and organic marketing channels (email, content syndication, search, social, partnerships, etc.) to fuel inbound pipeline growth.
Experiment with creative, unorthodox approaches and tools to demand gen—if there’s a standout way to drive impact, we want you to find it!
Partner closely with sales, product marketing, and developer relations to create compelling messaging and content that speaks to technical audiences.
Launch and refine account-based marketing (ABM) strategies to engage high-value accounts and drive meaningful conversations.
Analyze and report on campaign performance, ensuring we’re investing in high-impact initiatives and continuously optimizing based on data.
Manage and refine marketing automation workflows and lead nurturing strategies to improve conversion rates and sales handoff efficiency.
Own website conversion rate optimization, making sure our online presence drives meaningful engagement and pipeline growth.

What You Bring

Proven track record of running demand generation programs in a B2B SaaS environment, ideally targeting data or technical audiences.
A data-driven mindset with experience in marketing analytics, attribution models, and funnel optimization.
Hands-on experience with marketing automation tools (HubSpot, Marketo, etc.), CRM platforms, and paid media management.
A creative, unorthodox approach to demand generation—able to test and iterate on new ideas quickly.
Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with sales, product marketing, and developer relations.
A “get it done” attitude with a love for fast-paced, scrappy environments.
A passion for engaging technical audiences in authentic, non-salesy ways.
