We are seeking a hands-on, results-driven Sr. Director of Marketing to build and lead a lean, high-impact marketing function responsible for driving pipeline, shaping market positioning, and enabling revenue growth across multiple product lines.

This is not a traditional marketing role.

This role sits at the center of commercialization, owning both:
•    How we go to market (strategy, positioning, messaging) 
•    How we generate and convert demand (pipeline, campaigns, funnel performance) 

You will operate as the quarterback of marketing and GTM alignment, partnering closely with Sales, Product, and Commercial leadership to ensure we are not just executing campaigns—but bringing clear, compelling, and sellable offerings to market.

This role requires an operator who is comfortable building from the ground up, working through ambiguity, and making clear decisions about where to focus. You should have a strong bias for action, while also bringing structure, clarity, and discipline to how marketing drives business outcomes.

• Own pipeline generation targets across product lines
• Define and execute campaigns that drive MQLs, meetings, opportunities, and closed revenue

• Ensure campaigns are tightly aligned with sales motions and priorities

• Establish tight alignment with Sales leadership on goals, messaging, and pipeline quality
• Ensure Sales has the content, tools, and clarity needed to convert pipeline
• Build strong feedback loops from Sales to improve messaging and campaigns

• Prioritize initiatives based on business impact
• Ensure focus on what matters most—avoid overextension
