Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Segment strategy. Each segment requires a distinct motion—but they share the same enterprise foundation. You’ll define how we approach each and make that strategy actionable.
  • Pipeline. You’re accountable for what these segments produce. In close partnership with sales, you’ll align on account prioritization and build programs that move the right prospects from first impression to signed contract.
  • Partner pipeline. You’ll build on and scale our partner-led motion—working with our Partner Marketing and Events Lead to turn relationships into a consistent source of pipeline through referral programs, co-marketing, and field engagement.
  • Messaging. You’ll shape how Pilot speaks to each of these audiences—externally and in the materials our sales team uses every day.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of B2B marketing experience, including time in enterprise or multi-stakeholder sales environments
  • Experience managing and developing direct reports
  • Strong foundation in demand generation and/or account-based marketing (ABM), including pipeline ownership and conversion metrics
  • Experience partnering closely with sales leadership on account prioritization and pipeline goals
  • Exposure to partner or channel marketing (direct ownership or close collaboration)
  • Writes and communicates clearly
  • You’ve marketed to complex B2B buyers before—multi-stakeholder, longer sales cycles, relationships that matter.

Nice-to-have

  • Ideally, previous experience marketing to franchisors or accounting firms.

Benefits

  • We invest in our employees’ development and happiness because our employees are the keys to our success and ensuring happy customers
  • The opportunity to join a seasoned founding team that has led companies through two prior successful startups and acquisitions (by Oracle and Dropbox).
