Responsibilities

Partner directly with Sales leadership on MQL definitions, routing, and lead quality, sitting in on sales calls to keep marketing accountable to pipeline that actually converts.
Set and enforce the bar for content and campaigns that are specific, credible, and convert without ever reading as spam, personally editing high-stakes assets before they ship.
Build a repeatable campaign process from brief through measurement, sequencing outreach so accounts warm up rather than get blasted, and retiring plays that stop producing pipeline.
Lead the quarterly and annual planning process, aligning product launches, campaigns, and budget to revenue goals, and keep every launch backed by a go-to-market plan well ahead of ship date.
Own marketing operations, reporting, and the intent and signal data stack, keeping scoring, routing, and attribution current and turning buying signals into triggered account plays.
Assess and rebuild the marketing team around the account-based motion, hiring and coaching toward the standard this seat demands.
Own positioning and competitive narrative for the product portfolio, equipping Sales with battlecards and proof points and feeding market insight back to Product.
