Product Marketer

We are developing a SaaS product called Skyway that simplifies financial planning and analysis of cloud billing data for large enterprises with complex cloud spending requirements.

Duckbill is on a mission to bring clarity, transparency, and confidence to every enterprise’s management of cloud costs. We’re building the platform every enterprise should have to make this easy.

Marketing at Duckbill is how we create category clarity, sharpen differentiation, and make our sales motion repeatable. This is a founding PMM role focused on positioning, messaging, and sales enablement in a crowded category — not demand gen. Our GTM today is largely inbound, driven by content (written by our founders and Cloud Economists) and word-of-mouth, and we’re growing those channels and exploring others. We're an expertise-driven company with deep domain knowledge, and we need someone to harness that expertise, work it into compelling messaging and materials, and promote our solutions to the market.

You'll build our entire product marketing function from the ground up. We have a lot of one-off things that have worked well, but now it's time to build a scalable strategy and execute on it. This is a hands-on role where you'll get your hands dirty working with a great team—not a position where you'll only be managing the work of others.

This is a founding product marketing role focused on positioning, messaging, and enablement. We have strong inbound demand and brand recognition; your mandate is to make our story crisp, differentiated, and repeatable across complex enterprise buying committees.

We work together in the office in San Francisco, so you must be located in the SF Bay Area and willing to work in the office on a regular basis.

• Architect our competitive position: Build persona-specific positioning and messaging that aligns cross-functional buying committees (e.g., finance leaders, engineering stakeholders, procurement partners, and FinOps teams), ensuring our value story resonates with each audience while staying consistent and credible end-to-end.

• Craft compelling narratives: Translate our technical capabilities into value stories that resonate with enterprise decision-makers

• Growth opportunity: Build and potentially lead our marketing function as we scale

• Meaningful equity: Significant ownership stake with real upside potential

Compensation for this role is a salary range of $180,000 to $220,000 plus early-stage equity. We provide a 401(k), as well as healthcare, vision, and dental benefits, with premiums fully covered by the company. Dependents are covered 50%. We offer 4 weeks of PTO.

We are a small and growing team of 12 people, which means you get the opportunity to be on the ground floor of building the product and company. Our founders are domain experts in the market+problem space, bringing deep industry and customer connections in cloud cost management to the product.

We're backed by Heavybit and Uncork Capital, having raised $7.75 million, along with substantial revenue.

We work together in the office in San Francisco three days per week, so you must be located in the SF Bay Area and willing to work in the office on a regular basis.
