Vice President of Product Marketing

At Shakudo, we’re building the world’s first operating system for data and AI. We use the term “operating system” in the truest sense: just like iOS, Windows, or Linux, Shakudo’s end-to-end OS provides ever-evolving, fully automated, best-in-class open-source components tailored to each business’s unique needs. We are seeking a VP of Product Marketing to join our team as a builder-leader who will define how the market understands, evaluates, and adopts Shakudo. This is a high-visibility, hands-on leadership role for a strategic marketer who excels at translating deep technical capabilities into compelling narratives, driving market positioning, and equipping a growing GTM team to win. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for building the product marketing function from the ground up — owning messaging, competitive intelligence, sales enablement, and launch execution — while maintaining a personal “in-the-arena” presence across deals, events, and analyst conversations.

In this role, you will own the full product marketing lifecycle — from market research and positioning to content creation, sales toolkit development, and post-launch iteration. You will serve as a trusted partner to CTOs and Data Science leaders, helping them articulate the business case for governing models and running secure agents inside their own infrastructure. At Shakudo, our culture is results-oriented and performance-driven; we favor speed, judgment, and flat ownership over heavy management layers.
