About the Role
Our growth marketing team owns pipeline. This role is the engine behind it, owning the programs and campaigns that turn strategy into pipeline. You translate product marketing and brand direction into campaigns that delight our audiences, and you hold yourself and your team accountable to what those programs produce. This is a player-coach role in the truest sense. This includes owning campaigns directly — building the plan, driving execution, and consistently reporting results alongside your team. You'll also use AI as a force multiplier: to move faster, think sharper, and help your team scale output without scaling headcount. The operating system matters as much as the campaigns. You'll own the campaign planning and prioritization process, keep cross-functional stakeholders aligned, and bring structure to a demand gen function that touches every channel and every segment.
This role reports to the Director of Growth Marketing and sits alongside the Marketing Ops lead. Programs and ops together form the backbone of the growth marketing team.
What You Own
- Drive integrated campaigns from strategy to results, coordinating across direct reports and indirect contributors through influence and clear campaign briefs
- Maintain a forward-looking campaign portfolio view: what we're running, what we're building, and how the full slate maps to revenue and pipeline targets.
- Manage and develop direct reports (3-5) and agency/contractor support, with responsibilities spanning performance marketing, customer marketing, field marketing, and events marketing.
- Own the campaign operating model, including how requests are surfaced, prioritized, and resourced across growth marketing, PMM, partners, customer success, and sales
- Analyzing performance trends on weekly and monthly basis, identifying and implementing special initiatives (within team and cross-functional) designed to improve performance.
- Champion AI-enabled ways of working across your team, from campaign planning and copy iteration to performance analysis and reporting — and help the team scale output without scaling headcount
- Partner with RevOps, PMM, and Sales on audience targeting, ICP prioritization, and funnel handoffs
- Build and own a repeatable programs reporting cadence — pipeline contribution, channel efficiency, campaign ROI — and develop a clear point of view on optimization.
