About The Position

The Director: Growth Marketing (Americas) is Syspro’s growth engine for its largest and highest-priority market. This is not a traditional marketing role. This is a revenue-obsessed, pipeline-first, market-maker position built for someone who moves fast, thinks BIG and differently, and knows how to create noise in a crowded mid-market ERP landscape. Americas is where Syspro must win and win decisively, and this role exists to make that happen. Reporting directly to the CMO and operating as a peer to the SVP Sales (Americas), this Director owns the full growth marketing mandate: new logo acquisition, expansion pipeline, competitive displacement, and long-term brand presence in North and Latin America. With a 6-to-12-plus-month enterprise sales cycle, the pipeline must be built now, with urgency, precision, and creativity. The role leads a high-impact tiger team comprising a Guerilla Marketing Specialist, a Lead Development Rep (LDR/BDR), and an autonomous Agentic AI Sales Development Rep (SDR), a true digital worker operating at scale for nurture, outreach, and pipeline acceleration. This Director leverages Syspro’s global Marketing functions (Events, Webinars, Partner/Channel Marketing, Product Marketing, Comms, PR, Brand, Analyst Relations, and Creative) as force multipliers, while owning the Americas strategy end-to-end. As Syspro modernizes its platform and accelerates its AI capabilities across the product, this role is critical to translating that product momentum into market momentum, a stronger voice, a bigger brand, and a pipeline that proves sustained growth to investors and the Board. This role is located in Chicago. Applicants within commuting distance of Chicago will be considered.
