Full Job Description
About the Role

We're looking for a senior PMM who knows the data and BI space well enough to have opinions about it. You'll own go-to-market across 2 distinct motions.

Our BI platform is your primary focus: net new acquisition in a competitive market, with a strong open-source community, and a growing AI story to tell. The database motion is renewal and retention, working closely with Customer Marketing and PM to keep a loyal, installed base engaged and expanding.

If you've marketed a BI or analytics product, understand how AI is reshaping what buyers expect from data platforms, and want to work on something where AI is rewriting the category; this role is for you.

Actian Databases (Retention & Renewal)

  • Partner with Customer Marketing and PM on the retention content calendar: webinars, user days, roadmap workshops, and expansion plays
  • >


  • Bring new features to market and build enablement materials that sharpen renewal conversations around AI capabilities
  • >


  • Translate roadmap updates into customer-facing messaging that reinforces value at renewal time
  • >


Cross-Portfolio

  • Contribute to Actian's broader AI narrative as we build out agentic, MCP-connected, and LLM-ready capabilities across product lines
  • >


  • Create messaging and content for cross-sell expansion programs within the Actian portfolio
  • >


Requirements:

  • 6-10 years of PMM experience in enterprise software, with meaningful time in data, analytics, BI, or adjacent categories
  • >


  • Experience marketing a BI or analytics product directly
  • >


  • Background marketing to analytics teams, data engineers, and application developers
