About the Role:
As Senior Customer Marketing Manager, you’ll build and own CaptivateIQ’s customer advocacy, community, and voice-of-customer programs — turning our growing base of enterprise customers into the most credible proof point in the SPM/ICM market. You’ll run a proactive case study and reference program, structure how customer insight gets activated internally, and build a systematic marketing motion into our install base.
You’ll report to the Senior Director of Product & Corporate Marketing, with strong working relationships across Customer Success and Demand Gen. This is a newly upleveled, highly visible role: you’ll be the senior-most owner of customer marketing at CaptivateIQ, building the function’s foundation.

- Advocacy & Social Proof: Build and run a proactive case study and reference program; own G2 and review-site strategy with velocity targets; build and maintain a proof point library; source customer speakers and quotes for in-person and virtual events.
- Community & Engagement: Run community and engagement programs with a clear business purpose, activation model, and success metrics; manage the customer Slack community; structure the Customer Advisory Board around product input and advocacy outcomes; own the customer newsletter and What’s New webinar.
- Voice of Customer: Build structured VoC collection integrated cross-functionally; synthesize and distribute insights to PMM, Product, and Sales on a regular cadence; turn advocate insight into a content pipeline.
- Install Base Growth: Partner with Demand Gen on segmented, lifecycle-based cross-sell and upsell campaigns into the customer install base; coordinate account-level timing with Customer Success; support pipeline attribution with RevOps.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as the connective tissue among Customer Success, Sales, Product Marketing, and Demand Gen on all things related to adoption, retention, expansion, and advocacy.
Requirements
- 7+ years of customer marketing experience in B2B SaaS, ideally SPM/ICM-adjacent or in high-velocity enterprise software.
- Has built or rebuilt a customer advocacy program (case studies, references, reviews) from the ground up.
- Comfortable with pipeline and expansion metrics and campaign design — this role is equal parts storyteller and program operator.
- Has owned structured voice-of-customer synthesis and internal distribution to cross-functional stakeholders.
- Demonstrated independent judgment and proactive problem-solving.
- Strong project ownership and follow-through with minimal oversight.
- Excellent written and verbal storytelling skills.

- Familiarity with G2/review-site strategy and reference management tooling.
- Experience partnering with RevOps on pipeline attribution for expansion campaigns.
- Multi-product SaaS experience, particularly suite cross-sell or install-base expansion motions.
