Job Summary

Own the end-to-end demand engine for an enterprise audience, from channel mix and messaging to funnel analytics and partner distribution.

  • Demand channels: build events, conferences, organic, and email to drive qualified leads.
  • Pipeline ownership: collaborate with the GTM Lead to own cost, conversion, and ROI of campaigns.
  • Content and experimentation: create a content and acquisition engine with rapid tests and feedback to product.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Stand up the core demand channels (events, conferences, organic, email) and get the first qualified leads flowing to sales.
  • Ship the messaging and landing pages that turn "office of the CIO" into copy a buyer recognizes themselves in.
  • Instrument the funnel so we can see what a lead costs and where it converts.
  • Build and co-own a qualified-pipeline target with the GTM Lead, with a clear path to owning the number outright as the demand engine matures.
  • Build a content and acquisition engine that produces leads without a founder in the loop.
  • Find the two or three channels that actually work for an audit-led enterprise sale and double down on them.
  • The full demand stack: executive events, paid acquisition, organic and SEO, content, email and lifecycle.
  • Expand distribution channel partner relationships, including technical and consulting partnerships in partnership with the sales organization.
  • Establish, organize, and lead hosted executive events.

Requirements

  • You\'ve run demand generation end to end and can point to pipeline you created, not just campaigns you ran.
  • You execute across channels yourself (events, content, email, and web) without waiting for a team to hand off to.
  • You\'re fluent with the data: you set up the tracking, read the funnel, and change course on what it tells you.
  • You\'ve marketed a technical or complex product to executive mid-market and enterprise buyers, and you frame value in dollars and ROI, not impressions.

Preferred

  • You\'ve been an early or first marketing hire at a startup.
  • You\'ve marketed to finance, operations, or data teams.
  • You know enough about enterprise AI or data infrastructure to write about it credibly.
