About Swayable:

Swayable is a fast-growing AI and automated data science platform that measures public opinion, and the impact of messages and advertising content on it.

Staying on the leading edge of AI and applying the latest advancements to improve targeting, execution, measurement, and team productivity. 

This is a foundational, high-ownership role for someone who has built demand gen functions before, is comfortable being hands-on in the tools, and knows how to create structure, move fast, and tie every program back to pipeline.

  • Redesign how we work with AI. Stay on the leading edge of AI and continuously rethink how demand generation and marketing operations get done. Apply the latest advancements in AI to improve targeting, campaign execution, content creation, reporting, attribution, forecasting, and internal workflows—helping the team move faster, personalize at scale, and generate more pipeline with less manual effort.
  • HubSpot Administration: Build and maintain lead routing rules, lead scoring, nurture workflows, sequences, and attribution reporting
  • Email marketing: own the full program including list segmentation, cadence design, deliverability, A/B testing, and performance optimization
  • Inbound handling: Partner with Revenue Operations in designing the end-to-end inbound motion from first touch to sales-ready handoff, with clear definitions, routing logic, and SLAs.
  • ABM programs: build targeted account-based programs for priority segments, working closely with Sales on account selection, personalized outreach, and multi-channel coordination
  • Website and SEO: partner with web resources to improve conversion, landing page performance, and organic search; own conversation strategy.
  • Funnel reporting and attribution: instrument the full funnel, define marketing-sourced pipeline metrics, and deliver reporting.
  • Martech stack: own and optimize the marketing technology stack; evaluate tools and vendors; manage external lead generation agency and contractor relationships.

Who You Are:

  • 7-10+ Years of Experience. Demand Generation, Marketing Operations, Growth, and Performance Marketing roles.
  • Demonstrated track record of building pipeline-focused programs that drove measurable revenue outcomes, not just lead volume
  • HubSpot expertise across marketing automation, workflows, sequences, lead scoring, lifecycle management, and attribution reporting
  • Strong email marketing fundamentals including deliverability, segmentation, cadence design, and A/B testing
  • ABM experience: designing and running targeted account-based programs in coordination with Sales
  • Analytical mindset: comfortable building attribution models, interpreting funnel data, and presenting pipeline performance to leadership

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
