About Starburst

At Starburst, we are working to dismantle the status quo of data silos and vendor lock-in every single day. For decades, database companies have held their customers hostage and we believe that’s just plain wrong. Starburst offers a full-featured data lake analytics platform, built on open source Trino. Our platform includes all the capabilities needed to discover, organize, and consume data without the need for time-consuming and costly migration projects. Today more than 300 leading organizations trust us to make better decisions faster.

Though Starburst has raised $414M in venture funding from top investors, we were founded in a rather unusual way as we bootstrapped the business with customers and revenue from the very beginning! We are a remote-first company with employees all over the world and are proud to be named a Best Place to Work. Come join our team of All-Stars!

Lead the marketing data strategy including database growth, enrichment, hygiene, governance, quality, and security.
Lead ongoing training and enablement for marketing on processes and tech stack.

10 years experience in marketing operations at a growing organization with increasing levels of responsibility.
Marketing operations experience for sales organizations selling SaaS products.
Proven track record of impeccable business judgment, rigorous analytical problem solving, quantitative analysis, and communicating findings to executive leadership.
