Account Based Marketer

About the role

We are seeking a seasoned Enterprise B2B GTM specialist to lead our efforts in defining and executing industry-specific GTM motions for our priority verticals. This role will involve building and operationalizing GTM playbooks for Sales, running targeted ABM programs, and ensuring that every customer deployment becomes a durable proof asset that drives future deals.

Responsibilities

• Define industry-specific GTM motions for priority verticals - ICP, intent signals, buyer journeys, sales plays, and expansion paths, and operationalize them into repeatable playbooks that Sales can run
• Own vertical ABM strategy (1:1, 1:few, 1:many), partnering with Field Marketing, PLG and Sales to run targeted campaigns that are grounded in real customer outcomes, not generic messaging
• Ensure campaigns are informed by real customer outcomes and tailored to priority accounts within each vertical
• Ensure customer proof is embedded everywhere it drives revenue (e.g. campaigns, sales enablement, industry narratives, events, and web)
• Partner with Product Marketing to adapt core positioning into vertical-specific demand content, use cases and messaging
• Define the full customer value lifecycle (acquisition, closed won, deployment, value realization, proof, amplification) and hold the cross-functional team accountable to it
• Align Sales, Marketing, and Account teams around a shared, repeatable model for each vertical
• Track and optimize pipeline performance by vertical and channel

Requirements

• 5–10 years in enterprise B2B GTM, with meaningful experience across at least two of: ABM, demand generation, sales strategy, or product marketing
• Proven track record building vertical GTM motions that moved pipeline and revenue
• A strong operator: you've built things from zero, scaled what worked, and killed what didn't
• Able to translate complex technical products (AI, developer tools, infrastructure) into industry-specific business outcomes that resonate with buyers
• Exceptional at leveraging customer impact into assets that close deals: case studies, references, co-marketing, executive narratives
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with Sales, Account Management, and technical delivery teams; you influence without authority

Qualifications

• Experience in developer tools, AI/ML, or engineering productivity platforms is a plus
• Experience at a company with a services-plus-product model (forward-deployed engineers, professional services, or solutions engineering) is a plus
• Background in regulated industries such as financial services, defense, or healthcare is a plus

Skills

• Strong understanding of enterprise B2B GTM strategies and tactics
• Ability to build and execute GTM playbooks for Sales
• Experience in ABM and ABM program management
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Account teams

• Flexible work schedule
• Professional development opportunities
• Work-life balance
