Manager, Digital Demand Generation

Portnox•Austin, TX

5d•Onsite

About The Position

This role owns Portnox's high-intent, inbound digital demand channels — the always-on paid programs that capture prospects who are actively searching for, comparing, or evaluating solutions like ours. It's a hands-on, execution-heavy role: you'll build, launch, and optimize campaigns directly inside the ad platforms yourself, and lead scoring, qualification, and full-funnel reporting are core parts of the job, not just campaign execution.

Requirements

4-6+ years of experience in demand generation, growth, or performance marketing, with hands-on experience managing paid search campaigns
Experience managing paid social and/or review-site advertising programs
Hands-on experience with a marketing automation platform, including building lifecycle/nurture campaigns
Experience building or owning a lead scoring and qualification model, ideally in a B2B SaaS environment
Experience with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce) and web analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics/GA4)
Strong budget management, forecasting, and ROI reporting skills across multiple channels
Experience with landing page and form optimization, including A/B testing
Familiarity with lead lifecycle management and sales development handoff processes
Strong analytical skills, comfortable using dashboards and data to drive optimization decisions
Highly organized and self-directed, comfortable owning execution end-to-end
Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice To Haves

Experience with sponsored content or newsletter/media placements a plus
Experience in cybersecurity, IT, or another technical B2B category is a plus

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end management of paid search campaigns (Google, Bing): keyword strategy, ad copy, budget pacing, bid management, and ongoing optimization
Manage paid placements on review sites (e.g., G2) to reach in-market buyers actively researching solutions
Test and scale sponsored newsletter and content placements (e.g., TLDR and similar industry newsletters) to reach target buyer audiences, running regular tests to identify channels worth scaling
Manage paid social and video advertising (e.g., LinkedIn, YouTube) targeted at high-intent audiences
Own the landing pages and forms tied to every campaign: building, testing, and iterating to improve conversion
Manage budget across all owned channels and report regularly on spend, cost per lead/acquisition, and pipeline contribution
Build and continually refine a lead scoring model that reflects real buying intent and fit, not just activity volume
Own the qualification process for inbound leads generated through digital channels and website forms
Own lead routing and handoff to the sales development team, including handoff SLAs and a feedback loop that reports lead quality back to the channels that generated them
Partner with SDR and Sales leadership to continuously refine qualification criteria based on downstream lead quality and conversion data
Own lifecycle nurture programs end to end — from initial lead capture, through opportunity creation, through acceleration once an opportunity is open
Partner on new engagement formats (e.g., virtual and in-person events) designed to re-engage accounts already in active buying stages
Report on performance across the full funnel — capture, scoring, qualification, handoff, opportunity creation, and acceleration
Continuously test and optimize campaigns, spend allocation, landing pages, forms, the scoring model, and nurture programs
