Growth Marketing Lead

Staffbase • Toronto, ON

13h • CA$123,000 - CA$165,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Staffbase is seeking a Growth Marketing Lead to own and scale our marketing-led pipeline strategy and execution. In this role, you will evolve a high-performing acquisition engine that drives predictable, high-quality pipeline across digital, ABM, and field amplification channels. You’ll partner closely with Sales to ensure tight full-funnel alignment - from awareness to SQL creation and opportunity progression. This is a player-coach leadership role. You will set demand strategy and stay close to execution - directly managing one to two marketers and agency relationships while personally driving key programs and experimentation. The ideal candidate has successfully scaled integrated demand programs in a fast-growing B2B SaaS or AI-native technology company. You’re comfortable owning pipeline outcomes and building systems that create durable, repeatable growth. You’re a strategic thinker, but are happy to roll up your sleeves and dive into execution. This role offers the autonomy of a builder environment with close collaboration with colleagues.

Requirements

• 6 - 9 years leading performance marketing, growth marketing, or paid acquisition programs, with accountability for business outcomes
• Strong understanding of funnel metrics, attribution models, campaign analytics, and performance optimization
• B2B SaaS background; bonus - experience in HR tech or employee experience software
• Experience with Clay, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Google Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.
• Experience working across multiple regions or markets
• Prior experience managing teams and/or agency relationships
• Familiarity with AI tools for campaign automation, content creation, and workflow
• A builder and an operator: you understand channels, creative, and growth economics, and you turn insight into results, not just decks
• A player-coach: comfortable managing one or two marketers and/or an agency while personally running the programs that matter most
• AI-fluent by default: you combine human judgment and strategic thinking with AI-powered execution as a core part of how you work, not a bolt-on
• A direction setter: you form a point of view and drive alignment; you don't wait to be told what to do
• Comfortable owning pipeline outcomes: durable, repeatable growth, not one-quarter wins
• Energized by the autonomy of a builder environment, balanced with close collaboration across sales and central marketing
• A direction setter: you form a point of view, bring it forward, and drive alignment. You do not wait to be told what to do
• A track record of scaling. Demonstrated success developing and scaling growth strategies grounded in experimentation, customer insight, and rigorous analysis
• Strong partner to sales: you earn credibility by delivering value, knowing the accounts and the deals, and creating a shared rhythm with sales that delivers pipeline
• Roll up your sleeves: you’re a strategic thinker, but are happy to roll up your sleeves and dive into execution—never above any task that advances the business
• A clear communicator: your reporting and proposals are tight, plain-language, and decision-ready. You translate complexity into clarity, avoiding marketing buzzwords
• A high-output, low-ego operator: you lead with clarity, urgency, and humility. You are energized by ambiguity and growth, comfortable figuring things out as you go, and you see an undefined space as an opportunity rather than a blocker
