Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Serve as end-to-end owner of the marketing process across channels, reducing time to insight and time to market.
  • Own the marketing stack and funnel data pipeline, from ad platforms and tag management through forms, CRM and registration (GA4, GTM, conversion APIs, UTMs, HubSpot).
  • Ensure every lead traces from source, campaign and creative to registration.
  • Feed offline/CRM conversions to ad platforms to optimize for registrations.
  • Define the future-state marketing experience, maintain the funnel map and align stakeholders on how it evolves.
  • Monitor the pipeline and fix broken tags, dropped fields and routing errors before they reach reporting.
  • Own form-to-CRM workflows (field mapping, lead routing, nurture triggers); set clear acceptance criteria for IT or build it directly.
  • Run website experimentation as an always-on program.
  • Develop and prioritize hypotheses from analytics, research and performance data.
  • Launch, measure and scale winning tests, tied to lead quality and registrations, not just clicks.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, IS or related field (or equivalent).
  • 5+ years in digital, growth or performance marketing, or marketing ops.
  • Hands-on ownership of an ad-to-CRM data pipeline (tagging, conversion tracking, UTMs, offline conversions).
  • Track record running an always-on website testing program.
  • Paid media agency management with budget and performance accountability.
  • Cross-functional delivery with Product and IT, including requirements and QA.
  • Everyday use of AI tools to build (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, n8n).
  • Working knowledge of GA4, GTM, UTM governance and HubSpot or similar CRM.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity; you frame problems and ship.
  • Clear writer who can explain technical issues to vendors, developers and VPs.

Preferred

  • HTML/CSS/JS, SQL or Python, or platform API experience (Meta, Google, HubSpot).
  • CMS experience (WordPress, Sitecore, HubSpot).
  • Testing and behavior tools (VWO, Optimizely, Clarity, Hotjar).
  • Background in high-consideration purchases (e.g., education).
  • An AI workflow or automation you personally shipped and maintained, plus one quantified result.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health benefits: medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, accident, critical illness, disability insurance, FSA/HSA options with employer HSA contributions, and a generous 401(k) match.
  • Generous paid time off including 11 paid company holidays, 25 PTO days the first year (prorated), 1 paid volunteer day, 4 mental health days, and bereavement
  • Professional development support, including up to $5,250 annually for tuition reimbursement and up to $1,000 for certifications annually
  • Opportunities for paid and discounted travel
  • Flexible work schedule providing on-site, remote, and hybrid office opportunities
  • Encouraged participation in a wide variety of Employee Resource Groups
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and wellness resources, including fitness centers at select locations
