- Segment strategy and execution. You'll define how Pilot wins mid-market accounting firms and you'll be the one running the plays. Strategy is the half that points the work. The other half is in your hands.
- Pipeline. You're accountable for what your segment produces. In close partnership with sales, you'll align on account prioritization and build programs that move the right prospects from first impression to signed contract.
- Messaging. You'll shape how Pilot speaks to mid-market accounting firms, externally and in the materials our sales team uses every day.
- A clear, defensible go-to-market strategy for Meridian, with repeatable demand and partner programs in market
- Meridian moving from launch awareness to sustained pipeline, with growing and measurable contribution to the segment number
- Positioning that holds up under scrutiny from skeptical firm owners, internal sales, and competitive pressure
- Working relationships with the Franchise IC and the Partner Marketing & Events Lead that are either operating well as collaboration or have moved into a reporting structure based on real coaching fit
- Direction set for year 2, including team shape
- 10+ years of B2B marketing experience, including time in enterprise or multi-stakeholder sales environments
- Strong foundation in demand generation and account-based marketing, including pipeline ownership and conversion metrics
- You should be able to hold a strategic narrative as your own and shape how a category gets understood.
- Experience partnering closely with sales leadership on account prioritization and pipeline goals.
- AI-fluent in your own workflow. You're already using LLMs and AI tools to compress research, draft, iterate, and run plays at scale. You have a view on what AI is good at, what it isn't, and your work shows it.
- Comfortable operating as a senior IC. You build, you run, you write, you don't hand off the interesting work to a team.
- Open to managing one or two senior ICs if the coaching fit develops. Equally comfortable staying purely IC if it doesn't. Either path is real here.
- Writes and communicates clearly
