Requirements

What we're looking for

Required

  • Five or more years in B2B demand generation, with time spent on a considered sale long cycles, several stakeholders, a real evaluation process
  • Genuinely hands-on in HubSpot. You build campaigns, emails, and landing pages yourself and can talk about how you've set them up
  • You've carried a pipeline number and can explain a quarter you missed as clearly as one you hit
  • Comfortable in Salesforce, and opinionated about attribution without being precious about it
  • You've managed paid budgets and can show what you learned from spend that didn't work

Preferred

  • Experience marketing to public sector, government, education, healthcare, utilities, or another regulated buyer
  • Account-based marketing against a finite, named account list
  • You've owned a webinar program end to end
  • Hands-on use of AI-enabled tools for campaign production, content variants, and personalization at scale, with a sense of where automation helps and where it reads as canned
  • Enough HTML and CSS to fix an email template without waiting on anyone
  • You've worked closely with an SDR or BDR team on shared targeting

What success looks like in year one

  • You hit the pipeline target, and the number holds up when someone digs into it
  • Account-based programs running across our established states and the first few target states
  • The webinar series on a steady cadence, with pipeline attached to it
  • A website conversion baseline established and then measurably improved
  • Cost per opportunity known by channel, with at least one thing defunded and the money moved somewhere better

Who you'll work with

You'll report to the SVP, Marketing on a team of six. Day to day that means Creative & Brand for design and templates, Marketing Operations for data, platform, and reporting, Business Development for outbound alignment, and Field & Market Development on new-state strategy. We also use agencies and contractors for media buying and production, so part of the job is knowing what to keep in-house and what to hand off.

Location and travel

Remote within the United States. Occasional travel for team meetings, our annual ENGAGE customer conference, and a handful of industry events.

Why this one is worth a look

Plenty of demand gen jobs hand you an existing program and ask for ten percent more out of it. This one has more room than that. The market is knowable, the company has a reputation worth trading on, and the team is being built around this seat rather than the other way around. If you like owning a number and actually building the thing that produces it, there's a lot to work with here.
