Job Summary

  • Define and defend the pipeline model, including channel mix, spend, and conversions

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own our demand gen strategy - the multi-channel campaign engine (paid, email, webinars, sponsorships, ABX) that drives pipeline across both our PLG and enterprise motions.
  • Build and scale ABX programs against priority verticals (IIoT/manufacturing, energy, fintech, aerospace) in partnership with Sales.
  • Lead and develop a small team - set clear expectations, push people to grow, and build a function they thrive in, plus manage agency and contractor relationships.
  • Own the pipeline target and the model behind it - channel mix, spend allocation, conversion rates, stage-by-stage targets.
  • Partner cross-functionally - with PMM and Content on campaign messaging, Web on landing pages and conversion paths, and SDR leadership on lead handoff and feedback loops.
  • Use AI and automation to make the team more efficient — campaign builds, personalization, reporting — so we scale output without scaling headcount at the same rate.
  • Track AI-driven discovery trends - how AI search is reshaping top-of-funnel behavior for technical buyers, and bring that into channel strategy.
  • Own and defend the demand gen budget

Requirements

  • 10+ years in B2B SaaS demand generation or growth marketing , including 3+ years leading a team
  • Experience marketing to technical audiences, and comfort being in rooms where people build things you don't necessarily build yourself
  • A track record running both PLG and enterprise GTM motions , ideally at the same company.
  • You build with AI as a default in your own work , using it to design workflows, automate campaign and reporting work, and move faster than headcount alone would allow.
  • Fluency with a modern marketing/sales stack , like Marketo, Salesforce, Qualified, and Clay, and a data-driven approach you can defend to sales and executive leadership.
  • Strong sense of ownership ; you don't wait for a playbook. You see a gap, build the solution, and ship it.

Preferred

  • Experience marketing an open source product
  • Working knowledge of GEO/AEO/AI search and how it's changing content and demand strategy
  • Background in time series, observability, IoT, or adjacent infrastructure/data categories

Benefits

  • Medical/dental/vision insurance with 100% coverage for employees
  • Company contribution to your FSA
  • Flexible Time Off - take the time you need
  • Life Insurance, short and long term disability insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Wellness programs
  • Annual professional development budget
  • Financial planning and legal advice
