Demand Generation Manager

About The Role We're hiring a Demand Generation Manager to own our paid acquisition strategy and execution end to end, from planning and budget allocation through creative, targeting, and reporting, across LinkedIn, Google, and platforms we test next. This is a hands-on, builder role: you'll set the quarterly demand gen strategy, manage campaigns from A to Z, and write messaging and build ad creative in partnership with the marketing team. You'll report directly to the Director of Marketing and take full ownership of the paid media budget and its performance against pipeline goals. You'll also own the marketing automation and AI-powered workflows that support demand gen (HubSpot, Clay, and connected tools) from day one. As the function matures, there's potential to grow into a broader growth marketing role with wider scope.
