About The Position

Horizon3.ai is a fast-growing, remote cybersecurity company dedicated to the mission of enabling organizations to proactively find and fix and verify exploitable attack vectors before criminals exploit them. Our flagship product, the NodeZeroTM platform, delivers production-safe autonomous pentests and other key assessment operations that scale across the largest internal, external, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments. NodeZero has been adopted by organizations of all sizes, from small educational institutions to government agencies and Global 100 enterprises. It is used by ITOps/SecOps teams, consulting pentesters, and MSSPs and MSPs. We are a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools, false positives resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, "checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Collectively, we are a team of learn it alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results. We are seeking a Head of Field Marketing, North America to lead our AMER field marketing function at a pivotal moment in Horizon3.ai's growth. This is a senior leadership role responsible for building and running a pipeline-driven field motion across Enterprise, Mid-Market, Commercial, Channel, and Federal segments. You will own regional program strategy, team development, SDR alignment, partner field execution, and integrated campaign alignment that turns field investment into measurable revenue contribution. You will report directly to the Sr. Director of Demand Generation and serve as the primary field marketing leader for the North America region, partnering closely with AMER sales leadership, channel, alliance partners, and the broader marketing department to ensure every program has a defined pipeline objective, pre- and post-event coverage, and a clear CPO threshold. This is not an event-calendar role. It's a pipeline role that happens to use field programs as the mechanism.

Requirements

8+ years of B2B field marketing experience, with meaningful time in a senior or lead role owning regional strategy and team management.
Proven track record driving pipeline and revenue contribution through field programs in a high-growth SaaS or cybersecurity company - with the data to back it up.
Strong command of pipeline-driven field strategy: CPO modeling, pre- and post-event SDR alignment, integrated campaign design, and budget management with a clear ROI lens.
Experience running partner and channel co-marketing programs alongside a direct field motion - including joint event execution, MDF management, and pipeline attribution across direct and indirect routes.
Experience marketing across multiple segments simultaneously - Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Commercial, as well as strong Customer program activations.
Deep cross-functional collaboration skills; ability to build trusted partnerships with sales leadership, SDR teams, channel, demand gen, ABM, and product marketing.
Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a team - including setting clear expectations, coaching performance, and building a culture of accountability and results.
Comfort translating complex technical subject matter (offensive security, vulnerability management, autonomous pentesting) into field programs that resonate with security buyers including CISOs, security architects, and IT/SecOps practitioners.
Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple programs, geographies, and stakeholders simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
Proficiency with Salesforce for pipeline tracking and field program attribution.

Nice To Haves

Experience in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or adjacent B2B security markets.
Familiarity with Federal or Public Sector marketing, including awareness of compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC), procurement cycles, and partner ecosystems like Carahsoft.
Experience working in an ABM motion with account-level program design.
Familiarity with ABM execution and gifting tools such as Reachdesk, ZoomInfo Co-Pilot, or similar platforms.
Experience managing MDF programs with distribution partners or large VARs.

Responsibilities

Own the AMER field marketing strategy across Enterprise, Mid-Market, Commercial, Customer, and Federal segments, building a program portfolio that is pipeline-architecture-driven, not event-calendar-driven.
Lead, develop, and grow the AMER field marketing team, including direct management of field and channel field marketing managers, with a focus on coaching, accountability, and results.
Partner with AMER sales leadership to align field programs to territory priorities, account coverage, and pipeline gaps - ensuring field marketing is viewed as a true revenue partner, not a support function.
Define and enforce CPO thresholds as a gate for all field investments, with 30-day post-event reviews standard across all programs.
Build and execute programs with Horizon3.ai's alliance partners, VARs, resellers, and distribution partners across North America - designing joint field programs that generate net-new pipeline through indirect routes and extend market coverage beyond the direct sales motion.
Partner closely with the Partner Marketing Manager and channel sales leadership to develop partner-ready field playbooks and co-branded event programs.
Own the field marketing relationship with key alliance and distribution partners - including joint event planning, MDF utilization, co-sell event execution, and post-program pipeline attribution.
Coordinate with Carahsoft and other key distributors on Public Sector/FED-facing co-marketing programs, including tradeshows, government-specific roundtables, and partner-led demand generation activities.
Ensure partner co-marketing programs are held to the same CPO standards and pipeline accountability as direct field programs - MDF is an investment, not a budget line to clear.
Translate company-level campaign strategy into regionally relevant field programs - including CISO dinners, roundtables, third-party conferences, roadshows, and hosted & bespoke Enterprise events - with proof-first messaging and clear conversion paths.
Ensure all field programs have pre-event air cover, coordinated SDR outreach after, and defined follow-up motions that don't let pipeline decay post-event.
Partner with Demand Generation, Digital, Campaigns, and ABM to build integrated plays that surround target accounts before, during, and after field touches.
Work with Product Marketing to deploy proof points in the right format for the right audience at every field activation.
Own the SDR alignment motion for field marketing: briefings before programs, follow-up sequencing after, and feedback loops that inform future program design.
Partner with the SDR Director to define what high-intent follow-up looks like from field interactions - and hold the line on quality (documented booth interaction and meeting request, not badge scan alone).
Serve as a key voice in pipeline reviews, contributing field program performance data and recommendations for where to concentrate or pull back investment.
Own the AMER field marketing budget, managing spend with a marginal ROI lens and a bias toward programs with demonstrated pipeline impact.
Build and maintain a program performance framework with consistent metrics across all field activity: pipeline generated, CPO, meetings booked, stage progression, and 30-day post-event contribution.
Report field marketing performance to Demand Gen leadership and AMER sales leadership on a regular cadence, with clear recommendations on what to scale and what to cut.
