About the Role

You’ll help build the engine that turns market awareness and buyer interest into qualified pipeline.

As Revenue Marketing Manager, you’ll own major demand programs end-to-end, from audience and CTA, through activation, testing, Sales follow-up, and performance analysis. You’ll work across paid acquisition, lifecycle, content, events, partner programs, retargeting, and account-based plays depending on the business objective.

This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You’ll be expected to understand the why behind a program, build the execution plan, get it into the market, analyze what happened, and recommend what we should do next.

You won’t wait for someone else to tell you that a campaign isn’t working.

What You’ll Own

Integrated Revenue Programs

• Turn company priorities, product launches, competitive opportunities, and market trends into integrated demand programs.
• Build campaign plans that define audience, message, offer, channel mix, Sales motion, KPIs, and expected pipeline contribution.
• Coordinate paid, lifecycle, content amplification, digital events, partners, and SDR/AE activation around common campaign objectives.
• Own assigned programs from launch through performance review and iteration.
• Build repeatable programs rather than one-off campaigns.

Digital Acquisition & Paid Growth

• Own hands-on execution across Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, retargeting, and other high-value channels.
• Manage campaign-level spend, targeting, creative testing, landing-page testing, and optimization.
• Develop a strong point of view on where the budget within your programs should move based on performance.
• Test new channels, formats, audiences, offers, and creative approaches.
• Partner with agencies and external specialists while remaining accountable for outcomes.

Lifecycle & Audience Activation

• Design and run nurture and re-engagement programs across inbound, target accounts, event audiences, and other high-intent segments.
• Build personalized journeys based on persona, account context, behavior, and buying signals.
• Partner with Revenue Operations on lifecycle architecture, routing, automation, and data quality.
• Continuously test messaging, timing, offers, and next-best actions to improve conversion.

Digital Events & Third-Party Programs

• Own the strategy, execution, and performance of owned digital events, including webinars, virtual roundtables, and other online programs.
• Manage third-party digital programs and sponsorships from evaluation through execution, including audience strategy, promotion, lead capture, and follow-up.
• Partner with Product Marketing, Developer Marketing, partners, and speakers to develop programming that is relevant to our buyers and supports broader campaign priorities.
• Build the full demand motion around each program, including promotion, registration, attendance, SDR/AE activation, nurture, and post-event conversion.
• Measure programs based on engagement, qualified meetings, pipeline contribution, and ROI, not registrations alone.

Sales & SDR Activation

• Partner directly with Sales and SDR teams to turn campaigns into meetings and pipeline.
• Build clear campaign follow-up motions, account lists, messaging, and enablement.
• Define what Sales needs before a campaign launches, not after leads appear.
• Gather qualitative feedback from Sales and combine it with campaign data to improve future programs.
• Inspect where campaign engagement fails to convert and recommend changes.

Performance & Optimization

• Own pipeline contribution targets for assigned campaigns and channels.
• Analyze conversion, qualified meetings, pipeline, CAC, ROI, velocity, and other program-level metrics.
• Bring recommendations, not just reporting.
• Identify underperforming programs early and recommend whether to optimize, pause, expand, or stop.
• Run a consistent experimentation cadence and document what was learned.

AI-Native Execution

• Use AI to accelerate audience research, campaign development, content variation, personalization, analysis, and optimization.
• Identify opportunities to reduce repetitive work and increase campaign velocity.
• Partner with Revenue Operations on automation and agentic workflows where deeper system integration is required.
• Experiment with new tools based on business value, not novelty.

What You Bring

• 5–7 years of B2B SaaS demand generation, integrated, growth, or revenue marketing experience.
• Proven experience owning multi-channel programs that produced qualified pipeline.
• Hands-on experience with paid acquisition, lifecycle/nurture, audience activation, and campaign optimization.
• Experience working directly with Sales and SDR teams to convert campaigns into pipeline.
• Strong analytical instincts and comfort making decisions from imperfect data.
• Ability to connect channel metrics to business outcomes rather than optimizing only for CTR, CPL, or MQL volume.
• Experience managing meaningful campaign budgets and reallocating spend based on performance.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable operating independently in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift.
• AI-native working style and demonstrated curiosity around automation and experimentation.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience marketing technical B2B products to engineering, infrastructure, security, DevOps, platform, or IT audiences.

• Experience with account-based or signal-driven programs.
