We work with some of the most recognizable brands in the world and are on a mission to eliminate digital fraud at scale.
We’re looking for a Director of Demand Generation to own and scale pipeline creation as we grow from an inbound-led SMB/MM motion into a more balanced, enterprise-capable ABM engine.
This role owns demand generation strategy and marketing-sourced pipeline performance. You will define channel investment plans, build forecasting models, and drive pipeline creation across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments in close partnership with VP of Marketing.
The north star for this role is simple: build a predictable, scalable pipeline engine.
Key Responsibilities
- Own marketing-sourced pipeline performance across inbound, paid, and ABM programs
- Define channel mix strategy and investment allocation across paid, inbound, lifecycle, and ABM
- Develop quarterly and annual pipeline forecasts and present performance weekly to executive leadership
- Propose and justify incremental investment plans tied to revenue targets
- Establish the operating cadence and reporting standards for demand performance
- Scale and optimize core demand gen for SMB and mid-market
- Build and operationalize ABM programs to support enterprise expansion
- Support outbound efforts with account air cover, targeted campaigns, & tight alignment with SDRs and AEs
- Design programs that consistently generate enterprise-quality meetings
- Partner closely with RevOps to ensure clean execution, attribution, and reporting
- Work alongside an Integrated Marketing Manager to execute programs efficiently
Requirements
- 7–10+ years in B2B SaaS demand generation
- Experience scaling demand at startup environments only (Series A–D)
- Proven success: scaling inbound for SMB and mid-market & building and running ABM programs for enterprise
- Comfortable owning a pipeline number without owning a large team
- Strong collaborator with Sales, RevOps, and SDR teams
- Security experience is a plus, but not required
