ABOUT THE ROLE… 

We are seeking a hands-on, results-driven Sr. Director of Marketing to build and lead a lean, high-impact marketing function responsible for driving pipeline, shaping market positioning, and enabling revenue growth across multiple product lines.


This is not a traditional marketing role.


This role sits at the center of commercialization, owning both:
•    How we go to market (strategy, positioning, messaging) 
•    How we generate and convert demand (pipeline, campaigns, funnel performance) 


You will operate as the quarterback of marketing and GTM alignment, partnering closely with Sales, Product, and Commercial leadership to ensure we are not just executing campaigns—but bringing clear, compelling, and sellable offerings to market.


This role requires an operator who is comfortable building from the ground up, working through ambiguity, and making clear decisions about where to focus. You should have a strong bias for action, while also bringing structure, clarity, and discipline to how marketing drives business outcomes.

 

WHAT YOU WILL DO… 

1. Own Marketing’s Contribution to Revenue

  • Own pipeline generation targets across product lines
  • Define and execute campaigns that drive MQLs, meetings, opportunities, and closed revenue
  • Monitor and optimize performance across the funnel (MQL → closed won)
  • Identify gaps in conversion and take action to improve outcomes

2. Lead Product Marketing & Messaging Strategy

  • Define target segments, ICPs, and priority markets
  • Develop clear, differentiated positioning and value propositions across product lines
  • Translate product capabilities into sellable, repeatable offerings
  • Ensure messaging is consistent, clear, and resonates with buyers and partners
  • Continuously refine messaging based on market feedback, deal insights, and performance data

3. Drive Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy

  • Partner with Sales and Commercial leaders to define:
    • Target accounts and segments
    • Route-to-market approach (direct, partner, hybrid)
    • Campaign focus areas and sequencing
  • Align marketing initiatives to the most critical business priorities
  • Make clear tradeoffs on where to invest vs. deprioritize

4. Build and Execute Integrated Campaigns

  • Develop and lead multi-channel campaigns across key product lines
  • Define campaign strategy (audience, message, channel mix)
  • Drive continuous testing, learning, and optimization
  • Ensure campaigns are tightly aligned with sales motions and priorities

5. Partner Deeply with Sales

  • Establish tight alignment with Sales leadership on goals, messaging, and pipeline quality
  • Ensure Sales has the content, tools, and clarity needed to convert pipeline
  • Build strong feedback loops from Sales to improve messaging and campaigns
  • Support key deals and strategic opportunities as needed

6. Lead a Lean, High-Impact Team

  • Lead a focused team across:
    • Marketing Operations & Campaign Delivery
    • Content / Messaging (Writer)
    • Creative / Design
  • Set clear priorities, roles, and expectations
  • Ensure work is aligned, delivered on time, and tied to outcomes
  • Remove blockers and drive accountability

7. Own Marketing Systems, Funnel & Performance Visibility

  • Partner with Marketing Ops / RevOps to ensure:
    • Lead scoring, routing, and lifecycle stages are effective
    • Campaigns are executed cleanly and efficiently
  • Ensure reporting provides clear, actionable insights
  • Use data to inform decisions—not just report activity

8. Define and Manage Marketing Roadmap

  • Own the quarterly marketing roadmap across markets
  • Prioritize initiatives based on business impact
  • Ensure focus on what matters most—avoid overextension
  • Clearly communicate priorities, progress, and outcomes

 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR… 

  • 10+ years of B2B marketing experience in growth-stage or complex environments
  • Proven track record of driving pipeline and revenue growth
  • Strong experience in both:
    • Demand generation / campaign execution
    • Product marketing / positioning
  • Experience working across multiple product lines or markets
  • Deep understanding of marketing funnels, lead lifecycle, and conversion metrics
  • Hands-on experience with marketing automation and CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)
  • Ability to operate both strategically and tactically in a lean environment
  • Experience partnering closely with Sales and influencing GTM decisions
Key Traits for Success
  • Revenue-oriented — prioritizes outcomes over activity
  • Strong operator — able to execute while building structure
  • Strategic thinker — can simplify complex offerings into clear messaging
  • Decisive — makes tradeoffs and focuses on what matters most
  • Comfortable with ambiguity — brings clarity where it doesn’t exist
  • Highly collaborative — builds strong alignment across teams
  • Accountable — takes ownership of results, not just output
  • Curious and adaptive — continuously learns and improves

    • Comprehensive Benefits Including Medical, Dental, Vision, & Retirement Savings Plan 
    • Restricted Stock Units

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
