Marketing Associate in London

This role involves working directly with our Marketing Lead and owning how Lightdash shows up in the world - at events, in the community, and through partnerships that help us grow. You'll have real ownership: deciding which events we do, how we show up, and making it all happen. You'll also help us build and nurture our community of data practitioners. We’re open to people early into their marketing career, with enough experience to hit the ground running.

What you'll actually work on:

• Events: You'll own our events calendar: deciding which conferences we attend, whether we go with a booth, a talk, a side event, or something we throw ourselves. You'll manage logistics end-to-end: venues, vendors, assets, speaker coordination, registrations, and being on the ground when it matters. We run our own meetup series and you'll help grow that too.
• Community: You'll help us nurture our community of data practitioners on Slack, LinkedIn, at events, and in the dbt ecosystem: keeping it active, finding ways to give back, and turning lurkers into advocates. You'll spot the people worth knowing and help us build genuine relationships with them.
• Content: Turning what happens in the world (events, product launches, conversations with customers, things we're thinking about) into blog posts, write-ups, and social content. You'll also own production across our marketing calendar and help keep the content engine running.
• Other stuff: This is a startup, so you'll occasionally help out with content, social, or campaigns.

What we're looking for:

We care about drive and curiosity more than a perfect CV. Here's what would make you stand out:

• 1+ years of experience running events or community programmes, in-house or agency. B2B tech is a bonus.
• You're a strong communicator, written and in-person. You can write a compelling outreach email and hold a room at a meetup.
• You're organised in the way that matters: deadlines don't slip, vendors get chased, and nothing falls through the cracks.
• You use AI tools as a genuine part of how you work. Not just for writing, but for moving faster and doing more with less.
• You're proactive: you spot what needs doing and do it.
• You're excited about learning the full spectrum of marketing, not just one corner of it.

Bonus:

• You're familiar with tools like Attio, Google Analytics, Figma, and Framer.
• You have existing relationships in the data/analytics/dbt community.

What you'll get:

• Competitive salary.
• Real ownership from day one.
• Broad exposure across marketing: events, content, community, partnerships, campaigns.
• Direct mentorship from an experienced team, with full visibility into how a fast-growing startup approaches marketing.
