About Actian

Actian helps businesses put their data and AI strategy to work. Our portfolio spans high-performance databases, data management, and business intelligence (BI).

We're expanding into AI-native capabilities across all of it, and we're early enough that the decisions you make here will shape how the market sees us.

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.

Lead go-to-market for product launches from bill of materials through sales enablement

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

Familiarity with how AI capabilities are reshaping BI product roadmaps and buyer expectations

Experience with open-source communities, free trials and product-led growth models

Hands-on experience with AI tools and workflow automation (we pay attention to this)
