Own the startup acquisition funnel. Design programs that move early-stage companies from free plan → credits → active and successful paid.
YOU'LL LOVE THIS JOB IF YOU
You've built a startup marketing or partnerships program at a company that sells to developers or technical teams, and you did it from close to zero.
You're a growth marketer who also knows how to work a room. You can run a paid campaign and also have a genuine conversation with a founder at a YC demo day afterparty.
You think Sentry's startup help center page that says "Open a DM to your best developer friend and type 'hey is Sentry good?'" is the right energy for this audience.
You'd rather launch something scrappy on Monday than present a polished deck about it on Friday.
Your career path has a few unexpected turns in it, and you think that makes you better at this job, not worse.
QUALIFICATIONS
7+ years in marketing, growth, or partnerships, with significant time spent working with or inside early-stage startups
Experience building programs from scratch – not inheriting and optimizing, but actually standing something up
Track record of working across growth, brand, community, and partnerships (not just one lane)
Familiarity with the developer tools or B2B SaaS ecosystem
Experience managing partner relationships (accelerators, VCs, deal platforms) and getting real results from them
Bonus: you came to marketing from somewhere unexpected – operations, policy, legal, engineering, and it gives you a different lens on the work
