About The Position

Build the full lifecycle-from acquisition and qualification through onboarding, adoption, expansion, and renewal. You'll ship multi-step nurtures, real-time chat playbooks, in-product prompts, and webinar programs; apply AI to target, personalize, and optimize; and partner with Sales, CS, Product, and RevOps to turn signals into pipeline and revenue. What you'll do Map & orchestrate journeys: Translate lead and customer journeys (lead → MQL/SQL/SAO/PQL → customer → expansion/renewal) into automated programs with clear entry/exit criteria and success metrics. Execute high-impact programs across channels: Acquisition & qualification: top/mid-funnel nurtures, content tracks by persona/vertical, intent-based chat, form/route logic, and meeting acceleration. In-product messaging: onboarding checklists, feature tours, usage nudges, and PQL prompts tied to product events. Webinars/virtual events: topics, promotion, hosting, and follow-ups aligned to stage and persona. Automation handoffs: task and alert routing to Sales/SDRs/CS; sync audiences to paid channels where useful. Put AI to work: Predictive scoring/propensity, audience discovery, content variants, send-time optimization, anomaly detection-always with QA/guardrails and human-in-the-loop review. Measure & optimize: Define channel/stage KPIs; build dashboards; run A/B and holdout tests; publish monthly readouts with clear "stop/scale" guidance. Partner cross-functionally: Align definitions, SLAs, and routing with RevOps; instrument key product events with Product; co-own success metrics with Sales and CS. What success looks like (6-12 months) Higher lead-to-SAO and meeting rate from intent-based nurtures and chat. Faster time-to-first-value and higher onboarding completion/activation for new customers. Increased feature adoption, PQL-to-pipeline, and measurable expansion ARR contribution. Improved NRR/GRR and reduced churn risk signals through targeted lifecycle programs. Trusted, self-serve reporting and a documented experimentation roadmap.
