Job Summary

Partner with the CMO as COO/Chief of Staff to drive strategy, planning, and reporting; own the marketing operating rhythm, data governance, and end-to-end lead-to-opportunity processes to enable scalable pipeline growth.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Serve as thought partner and de facto COO/Chief of Staff to the CMO — shaping marketing strategy, annual/quarterly planning, and organizational priorities.
  • Own the marketing leadership operating rhythm: staff meetings, planning offsites, budget reviews, and executive/board-level QBR preparation.
  • Translate company and GTM strategy into a marketing operating plan with clear goals, owners, and metrics.
  • Prepare board- and executive-ready reporting that connects marketing investment to pipeline, revenue, and efficiency outcomes.
  • Own the marketing technology stack supporting lead-to-opportunity, including marketing automation, lead scoring, routing, and attribution tooling.
  • Design and continuously optimize the end-to-end lead-to-opportunity process, ensuring clean handoffs between marketing and sales.
  • Define and maintain MQL/SQL definitions, scoring models, and SLAs governing lead flow and speed-to-lead.
  • Partner with IT/business systems on platform architecture, integrations, and roadmap decisions affecting marketing systems.
  • Own top-of-funnel inspection cadences — weekly/monthly pipeline reviews, funnel conversion analysis, and campaign performance reporting.
  • Run and continuously improve the QBR process for marketing, ensuring consistent, data-driven storytelling for leadership and the board.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in Marketing Operations, RevOps, or GTM Strategy, including 3+ years in a senior leadership role partnering directly with a CMO or senior marketing executive.
  • Proven experience acting as a “COO/Chief of Staff” style operator — comfortable owning strategy, planning, and reporting rhythms, not just systems administration.
  • Deep hands-on experience with marketing automation platforms (e.g., Marketo, HubSpot, Eloqua) and CRM (Salesforce) integration for lead-to-opportunity workflows.
  • Specific examples of implementing AI technologies to supercharge productivity, increase effectiveness of legacy workflows (e.g. AI SDR Agents, AI-enhanced lead scoring).
  • Track record building and presenting board- or executive-level QBR and planning materials.
  • Experience managing distributed or near-shore/offshore teams, ideally in a data operations or data governance capacity.
  • Strong analytical and forecasting skills; fluent in funnel metrics, attribution modeling, and marketing-sourced/influenced pipeline reporting.
  • Experience operating in a company scaling toward IPO or as a public company is a strong plus, particularly around data integrity and reporting controls.
  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred.

Benefits

  • We take care of our employees. We offer competitive salaries, a meaningful bonus program, and excellent benefits, including healthcare insurance, as well as pension/retirement matching, comprehensive life insurance, an employee assistance program, time off plans, and paid company holidays.
