Troubleshoot sync issues and work closely with RevOps to maintain a healthy funnel.
• Conversational Marketing Oversee Qualified chatbot strategy, configuration, and optimization — collaborating with Demand Gen and Sales to drive real-time pipeline from web traffic.
• PLG & Self‑Serve Motion Support and scale the product-led growth motion by ensuring marketing systems and data flows are built to handle self‑serve acquisition, trial conversion, and lifecycle nurture — alongside the enterprise demand gen engine.
• Process & Program Governance Define and enforce marketing operations best practices including naming conventions, QA sweeps, and change management. Document and scale repeatable processes across multiple teams.
• Cross-Functional Partnership Be a trusted partner to Marketing leadership (CMO) and Sales leadership (CRO) — translating business needs into operational requirements and delivering with speed and accuracy.

• 5–7 years of experience in Marketing Operations, with at least 1–2 years in a people management or lead role
• Marketo Certified Expert (MCE) strongly preferred; deep hands‑on admin experience required
• Strong Salesforce CRM proficiency — experience managing the Marketo‑SFDC integration including lead lifecycle, syncing, and attribution
• Experience with Tableau or comparable BI tools for interpreting/owning marketing dashboards and reporting

• Excellent communication skills — able to distill complex technical concepts for executive and non‑technical partners
• Experience in a B2B SaaS environment; B2C exposure a plus
• Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, global company
