• Drive demand generation strategy: Be the driver and representative of a unified demand gen plan with inputs from cross-functional teams within Marketing, including Digital, Events, PMM, Partner Marketing, and more.
• Run multi-tier ABM: Launch and optimize 1:Many, 1:Few, and 1:1 campaigns that turn intent signals into meetings and opportunities. Go above and beyond to secure revenue from our largest accounts.
• Lead field marketing: Orchestrate regional events, executive dinners, and partner activations that generate pipeline and accelerate late‑stage deals. Build Executive Briefing Experiences (EBX) that inspire, drive value, and close deals.
• Build full‑funnel programs: Partner with peer teams to combine digital, content, and event tactics to maximize reach, engagement, and conversion.
• Measure everything: Own reporting and budget re‑allocation to hit goals.
• Coach a high‑performing team: Lead a small, talented group of Enterprise Marketing/ABM & Field marketers; hire, mentor, and clear roadblocks.

• 10+ years in B2B SaaS marketing with 4+ years leading demand‑gen or growth teams
• Proven success owning pipeline and partnering tightly with Sales to exceed targets
• Hands‑on expertise with 6sense/Demandbase, Salesforce, Sendoso, or similar tools
