Job Summary

Own the mid-market accounting segment end to end, balancing strategy with hands-on pipeline and category messaging.

  • Segment strategy and pipeline ownership: define the plan, prioritize accounts with sales, and drive the programs that turn impressions into signed contracts.
  • Messaging and sales enablement: shape external voice and create materials the sales team uses daily to win mid-market firms.
  • AI-enabled playbook leadership: use LLMs to compress research, draft, iterate, and run plays at scale, potentially mentoring one or two senior ICs.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Segment strategy and execution. You'll define how Pilot wins mid-market accounting firms and you'll be the one running the plays. Strategy is the half that points the work. The other half is in your hands.
  • Pipeline. You're accountable for what your segment produces. 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.
  • Messaging. You'll shape how Pilot speaks to mid-market accounting firms, 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
  • Strong foundation in demand generation and account-based marketing, including pipeline ownership and conversion metrics
  • Ability to hold a strategic narrative as your own and shape how a category gets understood
  • Experience partnering closely with sales leadership on account prioritization and pipeline goals
  • AI-fluent in your own workflow using LLMs and AI tools to compress research, draft, iterate, and run plays at scale
  • Comfortable operating as a senior IC, building, running, and writing without handing off to a team
  • Open to managing one or two senior ICs if coaching fit develops (or staying purely IC)
  • Writes and communicates clearly

Benefits

  • Flexible vacation/time-off policy
  • All federal holidays are observed
  • Competitive benefits package including additional wellness benefits
  • Parental leave for birthing or non-birthing parents – 100% pay for 12 weeks
  • 401(k) plan
