Director of Marketing Operations
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". So we need to extract relevant content: The posting includes a personal note from Kat, then "The Position" description, then "What You Will Be Doing" (list of duties), then "What We Need From You" (requirements/qualifications/skills). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections. So we should not create those sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe from The Position paragraph), Responsibilities (What You Will Be Doing), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (What We Need From You). Possibly combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll create sections: About the role (
About the role
) with prose from The Position paragraph. Responsibilities (Responsibilities
) with list from What You Will Be Doing. Requirements (Requirements
) maybe combine qualifications and skills. Could also have Qualifications and Skills separate if distinct content. The "What We Need From You" includes experience, expertise, etc. Could split into Requirements (experience) and Skills (technical). But we can just have one Requirements section with list. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe just About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. We'll not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all bullet points from What You Will Be Doing and What We Need From You.
We need to format lists with - . For prose, use
.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture everything.
Let's extract About the role: The paragraph after "The Position": "OPSWAT protects critical infrastructure from the world's most sophisticated cyber threats, and our marketing team is in the middle of a significant transformation to match that mission. We are hiring a Director of Operations Manager who will ensure all inbound and outbound demand is accurately captured, qualified, and converted into pipeline through well-designed processes, consistent execution, and actionable analytics. This is not a systems maintenance role. You are the person who keeps the infrastructure running smoothly and then asks: how do we make it smarter? You will be a strategic partner to our Revenue Marketing, Field Marketing, SDR, and Sales Operations teams, and the connective tissue between our tools, our data, and our revenue goals. You will also work directly with our AI engineer to build the marketing integration tools, automations, and agent-assisted workflows that our platforms don't give us out of the box, and you'll be the internal champion who brings the rest of the team along."
That's the About the role content.
Responsibilities: Under "What You Will Be Doing". There are several bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually they are headings: "Own the Marketing Engine, and Make It More Efficient", then a paragraph; "Build With Our AI Engineer", then paragraph; "Platform Health & Governance", then paragraph; "Lead Management, SDR Alignment & Pipeline Contribution", then paragraph; "Funnel Performance & Growth Optimization", then paragraph; "Turn Data Into Direction", then paragraph; "Lead AI Adoption Across the Marketing Team", then paragraph.
We need to turn each of these into list items? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can treat each duty as a list item. Within each list item we can have prose (maybe multiple sentences). So we will create
with each duty as - containing the paragraph(s). Ensure we keep all details.
Let's extract each duty text:
1. Own the Marketing Engine, and Make It More Efficient
- Serve as the primary HubSpot admin, owning architecture, workflows, lifecycle stages, integrations, scoring models, nurture programs, and reporting.
- Push HubSpot past its documented capabilities, including evaluating and deploying emerging agent capabilities within the platform.
- Manage and optimize integrations across the full stack: HubSpot, SalesLoft, 6sense, ZoomInfo, Sequel.io (webinar platform), and SugarCRM (familiarity a plus; Salesforce experience accepted).
- Keep the operational rhythm running. Lead routing, scoring, lifecycle nurtures, and campaign execution, ensuring the right data reaches the right people at the right time, every time.
- Own martech budget, vendor relationships, and renewals.
- Bring rigor to every build-vs-buy-vs-automate decision and ensure every tool earns its place.
2. Build With Our AI Engineer
- Partner with our AI engineer to design and ship internal marketing tools: custom integrations between platforms, data pipelines, enrichment and research automations, and agent-assisted workflows that own repeatable work end to end.
- Bring the problem definition. Identify where the friction actually is, scope what a solution needs to do, define success, and prioritize the queue so engineering effort goes to the highest-leverage work.
- Own the marketing side of the build: requirements, data model, test cases, rollout, adoption, and documentation.
- You are the product owner for these tools, not a requester.
- Set the quality bar for AI-assisted output. Decide what's good enough to go live, what needs a human in the loop, and what should be shut off.
- We sell critical infrastructure security, so our own data handling and governance need to hold up to scrutiny.
3. Platform Health & Governance
- Monitor platform health across the stack, establish alerting frameworks, and proactively resolve system issues before they impact pipeline or campaigns.
- Own platform documentation, enablement, change management processes, and release management cadences across all administered systems and the internal tools you help build.
- Serve as the subject matter expert between Marketing, Sales, Operations, and IT for technology platform requests, projects, and escalations.
- Translate business requirements from marketing and sales stakeholders into actionable technical configurations and system enhancements.
- Be the guardian of marketing data integrity, maintaining compliance with GDPR and CAN-SPAM.
- Clean, structured, trustworthy data is the foundation everything else is built on, and it's the prerequisite for anything AI-assisted working at all.
4. Lead Management, SDR Alignment & Pipeline Contribution
- Ensure all inbound and outbound demand is accurately captured, qualified, and routed with clear SLA accountability and zero tolerance for leads falling through the cracks.
- Own the end-to-end lead lifecycle: capture, enrichment, deduplication, scoring, routing, and SLA monitoring through to SDR handoff and opportunity creation.
- Use automation and AI-assisted research to compress speed-to-lead and improve handoff quality, so SDRs get context with the lead instead of hunting for it.
- Analyze lead follow-up performance, SLA adherence, and pipeline conversion from both inbound and outbound activities.
- Review disposition trends, highlight improvement opportunities, and deliver data-driven recommendations to align marketing output with SDR execution.
- Partner with the Global SDR Director and Sales Ops to continuously improve lead flow, ABM account prioritization, and handoff quality.
- Maintain and evolve lead scoring models informed by 6sense intent data, ZoomInfo and Cognism signals, and behavioral engagement.
5. Funnel Performance & Growth Optimization
- Think beyond the campaign. Own the full prospect-to-pipeline journey, building nurture programs that move people through the funnel and partnering with Sales to strengthen conversion at every stage.
- Run structured growth experiments across funnel stages: A/B tests on nurture sequences, landing pages, lead scoring thresholds, and SDR follow-up cadences.
- Document hypotheses, measure results, and scale what works.
- Take primary responsibility for campaign and funnel performance analysis.
- Monitor inquiry, conversion, and pipeline contribution metrics.
- Identify performance gaps, uncover root causes, and provide structured optimization recommendations.
- Deliver recurring performance summaries and actionable insights to Marketing and Sales stakeholders.
- Not just what happened, but the so-what and the next action.
6. Turn Data Into Direction
- Build dashboards and reporting that tell a clear story about marketing's impact on revenue.
- Give leadership the insights they need to make confident decisions.
- Partner with Sales Ops and analytics teams to ensure platform data is clean, structured, and accessible for tooling and executive reporting.
- Maintain a single source of truth across HubSpot and Sugar CRM.
- Act as the analytical point of contact for Marketing, ABM, and SDR teams, supporting demand review discussions with structured performance insights and consistent KPI visibility.
7. Lead AI Adoption Across the Marketing Team
- Design and manage automation and orchestration workflows across platforms to reduce manual effort, improve speed-to-lead, and increase conversion rates.
- Evaluate and pilot AI features within the existing stack, including HubSpot, 6sense AI, and ZoomInfo Copilot, and identify net-new tooling where capability gaps exist.
- Identify the highest-volume manual tasks across the marketing org and eliminate them with AI-assisted workflows.
- Make AI fluency a team capability, not a personal one.
- Run working sessions, pair with marketers on their own workflows, share what's working, and document the playbooks.
Now Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: Under "What We Need From You". Let's extract:
- You've been here before 7–10+ years of B2B marketing operations experience, ideally in cybersecurity, SaaS, or enterprise technology. You know the landscape and can hit the ground running.
