Fractional or Full-Time Head of Growth Marketing, DevTools

Fractional or Full-Time Head of Growth Marketing, DevTools

Skyhook is looking for a Head of Growth Marketing to help us build and run our growth engine end to end.

We’re open to either a fractional / part-time engagement or a full-time role for the right person.

We’re building developer tools for teams running on Kubernetes, with a focus on visibility, troubleshooting, dependency mapping, and developer self-service. Our open-source project, Radar, is already getting big interest from developers and platform engineers, and we want to turn that interest into a repeatable growth motion with a hosted version.

This is a hands-on role. We’re not looking for someone who only creates strategy decks. We’re looking for someone who can go from idea to execution: campaign concept, copy, ads, landing page, tracking, conversion, and iteration.

You’ll lead growth experiments across paid and organic channels, mostly focused on LinkedIn and Reddit. That includes:

• Building and running paid acquisition campaigns on platforms such as LinkedIn and Reddit.
• Writing ad copy and testing different angles.
• Creating or guiding landing pages that convert.
• Setting up tracking, reporting, and basic funnel analysis.
• Improving conversion from traffic to demo requests, trials, or qualified conversations.
• Testing audiences, messaging, offers, and creative.
• Turning learnings into a repeatable growth playbook.

Paid acquisition is the main focus, but we’d love someone who can also help with product and developer marketing. Examples include:

• Sharpening positioning and messaging for Radar and Skyhook.
• Creating product marketing content.
• Writing or guiding strong Reddit and LinkedIn posts with sensitivity to the open-source community.
• Helping us reach relevant influencers, newsletters, communities, and DevOps creators—important!
• Turning product features into clear use cases and campaigns.
• Packaging open-source interest into a stronger conversion motion.

You’re probably a good fit if you meet the following requirements:

• Must-Have: Experience in DevTools, infrastructure, Kubernetes, cloud, DevOps, or open-source.
• Must-Have: Proven experience running DevTools growth campaigns (generic B2B SaaS experience is not enough).
• Must-Have: Demonstrated experience with AI agents, deeply integrating them into your growth workflows.
• Strong hands-on experience with LinkedIn Ads.
• Experience or strong curiosity around Reddit as a growth channel.
• Ability to write sharp copy for technical audiences.
• Comfort working with technical products and developer/platform engineering audiences.
• Good instincts around landing pages, conversion, and funnel optimization.
• A bias toward small experiments, fast learning, and measurable outcomes.
• The ability to operate independently without a large marketing team around you.

This is not a pure ads-operator role. It is also not a pure brand, social media, or content role.

We need someone who can connect the full journey: message → campaign → ad → landing page → conversion → learning → next experiment

We’re open to either:

• Fractional / part-time
• Contractor
• Full-time
• Trial project leading into a longer engagement

What matters most is finding someone who can own the motion and execute.

We already have:

• An open-source project with significant developer interest: https://github.com/skyhook-io/radar
• A clear technical audience.
• Early commercial traction.
• A product that solves painful problems for platform and engineering teams.

Now we need someone to help us turn that into a scalable growth motion.

Please send:

1. A short note about your relevant experience.
2. Examples of campaigns, landing pages, or growth experiments you’ve owned.
3. Details of your required experience with DevTools, infrastructure, open-source, Kubernetes, technical audiences, and AI agents.
4. Your preferred engagement model and availability.

Bonus points if you include one growth experiment you’d run for an open-source DevTools company (such as Skyhook Radar) trying to convert GitHub interest into a commercial pipeline.
