Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own ABM strategy and account selection: Define and run Sonar’s account-based marketing strategy across one-to-one, one-to-few, and one-to-many tiers — partnering with sales to select, segment, and prioritize target and expansion accounts based on fit, intent, and opportunity.
  • Build and execute multi-channel account plays: Plan, build, and continuously optimize personalized campaigns across paid (e.g., LinkedIn, display, and ABM platforms such as 6sense or Demandbase), email, web personalization, direct mail, and content — tailored to each account’s buying stage and stakeholders.
  • Align marketing and sales: Serve as the connective tissue between marketing and the account teams — co-developing account plans with AEs and SDRs, equipping them with the right messaging and assets, and coordinating outbound and marketing touches into a single, orchestrated motion.
  • Define and optimize the ICP: Partner with product marketing and sales to define, refine, and continuously optimize Sonar’s ideal customer profile — using performance data, intent signals, and win/loss insight to sharpen account selection and targeting.
  • Leverage intent and engagement data: Use intent signals, engagement scoring, and account analytics to identify in-market accounts, prioritize outreach, and trigger the right plays at the right moment.
  • Drive pipeline and expansion: Generate and accelerate qualified pipeline within target accounts and expansion within existing customers — tracking engagement, opportunity creation, and influenced pipeline against clear goals.
  • Measure and report on impact: Define and own ABM metrics — account engagement, pipeline contribution, velocity, and ROI — and deliver regular reporting with clear, data-driven recommendations to refine targeting and spend.
  • Partner cross-functionally on content and messaging: Work with product marketing and content teams to develop account- and persona-specific messaging, assets, and experiences that resonate with technical and executive buyers.
  • Collaborate on field and event programs: Partner with field and demand gen teammates to integrate ABM into events, executive roundtables, and webinars that engage priority accounts and convert into pipeline.
  • Manage budget and vendors: Allocate and steward the ABM budget for maximum return, and manage ABM platform, data, and agency vendors to ensure quality execution.

Requirements

  • Have 5+ years of B2B marketing experience, with a focus on account-based marketing, demand generation, or integrated campaigns — preferably within enterprise SaaS or technology.
  • Bring a proven track record of planning and executing ABM programs (one-to-one, one-to-few, and one-to-many) that engage target accounts and drive measurable pipeline and expansion.
  • Have hands-on experience with ABM and intent platforms (e.g., 6sense, Demandbase, RollWorks) and an understanding of how to operationalize account data and intent signals.
  • Have strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data, optimize spend, track account engagement and pipeline, and report on ROI across channels.
  • Be experienced partnering closely with sales and SDR teams to align on account strategy, plays, and follow-up.
  • Be proficient with marketing automation tools and CRM systems (e.g., Marketing Cloud, Salesforce).
  • Be familiar with paid media and digital channels relevant to ABM, including LinkedIn and programmatic display.
  • Be highly organized and able to manage and prioritize multiple programs, accounts, and stakeholders simultaneously and independently.
  • Have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to collaborate across departments and functions.
  • Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field (MBA a plus).
