Job description

The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. We give technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no-code, so they can automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Backed by a fiercely inventive community and 500+ builder-approved integrations, we’re changing the way people bring systems together and scale ideas for impact.

Since our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 260 - working across Europe and the US, connected by a shared builder spirit and with our centre of gravity in Berlin. Along the way, we’ve:

• Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders
• Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects
• Backed by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation

That’s the company we’ve built.

We’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.

Your main goal will be to own and scale the end-to-end demand engine that turns our builder community and PLG motion into a high-performance pipeline engine for Mid-Market & Enterprise.

To do so, you’ll design and lead acquisition, activation, and expansion programs across all channels, backed by strong analytics, experimentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

TEAM LEADERSHIP & OPERATING RHYTHM

• Act as a player-coach for a growing team of 2–4 FTEs and agencies, scaling to 6–8 in 12–18 months
• Set the operating cadence: weekly channel reviews, monthly pipeline councils, quarterly GTM planning
• Define hiring bar, regional coverage strategy, and role charters across demand functions

TECH STACK & PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

• Own the demand tech stack (HubSpot/Marketo, Segment, Clearbit/6sense, enrichment/routing) in collaboration with RevOps
• Establish guardrails for CAC payback, shutoff rules, and ROI discipline
• Forecast and report on performance across ROI, velocity, coverage, and funnel health
