• Build the funnel measurement model with Revenue Operations: MQL/SQL definitions, lead scoring, attribution and conversion reporting in Marketo and Salesforce, with regular reviews of lead quality with Sales leadership
• Run lifecycle and nurture programs across the marketing database to convert, re-engage and expand prospects and customers
• Partner with Product Marketing and Sales Enablement so that messaging, content and campaign offers reflect current positioning and what the field needs
