Job Description

Responsibilities
  • Owning the marketing-sourced pipeline target and reporting on it weekly to the CRO
  • Running major content-led campaigns across the year built around our research, each with a full asset kit including landing page, email nurture, SDR sequences, webinar, supporting blogs, sales one-pager, and social content
  • Managing paid channels including LinkedIn ABM and paid search, making budget decisions based on conversion data not assumptions
  • Running the webinar programme from topic selection through to post-event follow-up
  • Planning and delivering a field marketing and executive event programme
  • Owning HubSpot campaign tracking, UTM structure, lead scoring, and MQL routing in partnership with RevOps
  • Briefing and managing content and social support to deliver the creative and social layer of each campaign
  • Making the BlueOptima brand show up consistently and credibly in the places our buyers spend time
Requirements
  • You will have at least eight years in B2B marketing with a meaningful chunk of that in enterprise SaaS.
  • You have owned a pipeline number before and you are comfortable being held to one.
  • You know the difference between a marketing qualified lead and a real buying signal and you build programmes around that distinction.
  • You are strong on HubSpot. Not at an admin level but at a level where you can look at a lead scoring model, a routing workflow, or an attribution report and know immediately whether it is set up correctly.
  • You understand how long enterprise deals take to close and you build your campaigns accordingly.
  • You are a good writer and a good briefer. The campaigns we run are research-led and content-heavy.
  • You do not need to produce everything yourself but you need strong enough judgement to know what good looks like and to get it out of the people around you.
