Job description

Ollama is the most popular way for developers to access open models. What started as an open-source, local-first runtime is now the largest developer network in the open-model ecosystem: 8.9 million monthly active developers and over 67,000+ community-built integrations. We're backed by Y Combinator, Benchmark, 8VC, and Theory Ventures.

Our team is small and talent dense. We're flat, low-ego, and fast-moving. We like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, design-driven, and who enjoy shipping code.

About the role

We're looking for a Product Marketing Manager who can translate deeply technical products into clear, compelling stories that resonate with developers.

This is a highly cross-functional, high-impact role. You'll work closely with product, engineering, and GTM to help define what we build and how we bring it to market. You won't just launch features, you'll influence product direction, define positioning, and help developers understand why Ollama matters.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new models, features, and major releases

  • Write launch materials (blog posts, landing pages, demos, videos)

  • Develop clear, differentiated positioning for Ollama and its features

  • Continuously refine messaging based on user feedback and market shifts

  • Help launch day-zero models with research partners

You may be a fit if

  • You have 3+ years in product marketing, product management, growth, or a similar role

  • You have strong technical intuition — you should be an engineer at heart, comfortable understanding developer tools and communicating to a technical audience

  • You have exceptional communication skills, and the ability to simplify complex concepts

  • You have high ownership: you can take a project from idea to execution

  • You find comfort in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
