About the opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Marketing Automation to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will be a subject matter expert in Marketo, working with IT and marketers on their program objectives. This role will focus on scaling our marketing automation efforts across multiple business functions and regions, driving email strategy, and maximizing the marketing automation platform (MAP) roadmap and spend. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring strategic and tactical execution, as well as strong program management.

What You’ll Get to Do:

• Lead a team that delivers both strategy and execution – for instance, email strategy and then deliver the Marketo programs/activity to support that strategy.
• Drive scalability and optimization as well as cross-functional collaboration.
• Be responsible for the roadmap of the marketing automation function in our quest to develop and deliver a scalable organization that expands and contracts with the business.
• Develop, operationalize, and optimize a comprehensive email marketing strategy, including automated campaigns, lead nurturing, segmentation, and scoring, in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Audit and enhance email performance using data-driven insights, such as A/B testing and quality assurance.
• Conduct research and analyze metrics to uncover untapped audiences, segmentation opportunities, and gaps in the customer experience.
• Scale marketing automation efforts to support multiple business units and regional marketing teams, ensuring relevance across languages and regions.
• Optimize campaign performance through data analysis, continuous improvement, and innovation within the MAP.
• Collaborate with sales, product, IT, communications, and demand center/field marketing teams, as well as regional marketing teams, to ensure alignment and consistency in global marketing campaigns.
• Drive the MAP roadmap by identifying and implementing new features and functionalities that align with business goals.

Skills and experience we value:

• Strong focus on Marketo (or equivalent MAP); Marketo Certified Expert (MCE) certification is a plus.
• Experience in a fast-growing SaaS company with revenues of $1B or more.
• Proven experience creating and operationalizing global email marketing strategies, including lead nurturing, segmentation, and scoring programs, and scaling/adapting across regions and languages.
• Demonstrated understanding of email nurturing methodology as part of an optimized buyer’s journey.
• Experience working with marketing, sales, sales enablement, sales operations, customer success, and technical stakeholders to develop processes for a high-growth marketing organization; exceptional problem-solving skills are essential.
• Excellent analytical, project management, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to interpret data, provide actionable insights, and lead multiple projects in a matrixed, global organization.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in marketing automation or a closely related field.
• Marketo and Salesforce Experience Cloud administration experience.
