Job Summary

Own demand gen and ABM programs, driving top-of-funnel pipeline and MQLs while partnering with sales, content, and PMM to craft messaging and assets; manage budgets, campaigns, and Ops end-to-end, and mentor future marketers as the team grows.

  • Own demand generation playbook across channels and attribution
  • Lead ICP alignment, MQL-to-SQL handoffs, and budget optimization

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build the demand generation playbook from scratch — AEO, paid, lifecycle campaigns, ABM programs, and the attribution stack that shows what's actually working
  • Own top-of-funnel pipeline generation and be directly accountable for MQLs and sourced pipeline
  • Partner closely with sales to define ICP tiers, score inbound leads, and design tight MQL-to-SQL handoffs
  • Build and run account-based marketing campaigns targeting key verticals: manufacturing, industrials, and supply chain-heavy sectors
  • Manage and optimize budget allocation across channels, continuously testing and cutting what doesn't perform
  • Own HubSpot workflows, landing pages, and campaign operations end to end
  • Coordinate with content and PMM to ensure campaigns are backed by strong messaging and relevant assets
  • Help hire and mentor future marketing hires as the team grows

Requirements

  • Have 5+ years of experience in demand gen or growth marketing, ideally at a B2B SaaS or data-driven company
  • Have a track record of running paid campaigns on LinkedIn and Google, including budget management and optimization
  • Are comfortable with HubSpot — you know how to build workflows, not just use templates
  • Have strong analytical instincts: you track CAC, MQL volume, and pipeline sourced, and can diagnose why numbers move
  • Can write clear, direct copy when needed and brief agencies or contractors effectively
  • Thrive in fast-moving startup environments with high autonomy and high expectations
  • Want to grow into leadership and help build a team over time
  • Value direct feedback and continuous improvement

Preferred

  • Prior experience in industrial tech, supply chain, or manufacturing SaaS
  • Familiarity with ABM tools (6sense, Demandbase, or similar) and intent data platforms
  • Experience building first-party audience strategies

Benefits

  • Top-of-market base compensation with meaningful early-employee equity
  • Platinum-level healthcare, 100% covered for employees
  • Dental and vision, 100% covered
  • 401(k) program
  • Unlimited vacation and sick days
  • Free food (3 meals a day, if desired) in office locations
  • Frequent team offsites, events, dinners, and weekend trips
