We are seeking an experienced Director of Marketing Operations to build and lead the systems, processes, and analytics that connect marketing initiatives to developer adoption, pipeline generation, and revenue growth. In this strategic leadership role, you will oversee marketing operations end to end, including attribution, funnel measurement, lead management, marketing technology, and campaign execution. You will collaborate closely with Marketing, Sales, Business Development Representative (BDR) teams, and Data & Analytics to improve conversion rates and deliver measurable business outcomes. A key priority will be building an AI-native marketing operations ecosystem, implementing intelligent automation and agentic workflows that reduce manual effort and enable scalable growth. You will lead a growing team and manage external agency resources while remaining hands-on with technical systems and operational challenges. This is an opportunity to shape the future of marketing operations in a high-growth B2B SaaS environment where innovation, data-driven decision-making, and operational excellence are central to success.
Marketing attribution and performance insights: Establish and govern a reliable measurement framework that connects marketing activities to developer adoption, pipeline generation, and revenue. Develop attribution models covering paid, owned, event, and open-source channels, linking developer engagement and self-hosted usage signals to relevant accounts and commercial outcomes.
Pipeline performance management: Lead ongoing cross-functional pipeline reviews, identify performance gaps against targets, coordinate experimentation, and drive prioritization discussions with Marketing, Sales, and GTM leadership.
Funnel measurement and analytics: Define and maintain consistent funnel stages and lifecycle metrics from initial awareness through qualified pipeline generation. Partner with Data & Analytics to develop trusted datasets, dashboards, and reporting frameworks that support strategic decisions.
Lead scoring, routing, and conversion: Own lead scoring models, automated routing logic, service-level agreements, and handoff processes that improve conversion from initial engagement to pipeline. Establish feedback loops, rejected-lead processes, and automated alerts to address missed service levels and operational bottlenecks.
BDR operational support: Serve as a key operational partner to the BDR function, overseeing relevant tools, sequencing workflows, lead distribution, pipeline reporting, and performance measurement to improve productivity and support revenue targets.
AI-native marketing systems: Architect and govern an integrated marketing technology ecosystem centered on the CRM, prioritizing AI-native platforms and scalable automation over legacy, rule-based solutions. Lead the evaluation, planning, and migration from Marketo to an AI-native marketing automation platform or equivalent solution.
Automation and agentic workflows: Identify, design, and implement AI-powered workflows that augment or replace repetitive tasks across lead management, pipeline generation, campaign operations, and reporting. Use AI-driven analytics and signal processing to accelerate insights and reduce manual reporting requirements.
Systems reliability and governance: Implement proactive monitoring and error-handling processes, including automated alerts for integration failures, synchronization issues, webhook errors, and data anomalies. Maintain system reliability through consistent monitoring and timely resolution of technical issues.
Data privacy and compliance: Oversee user permissions, data quality, automated cleansing, list management, and privacy controls across marketing systems, ensuring alignment with applicable regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and CASL.
Campaign operations and execution: Build and maintain automated campaign workflows, form strategies, audience segmentation, and lead lifecycle processes that enable marketing teams to execute campaigns efficiently at scale. Maintain consistent campaign structures and tagging conventions to support accurate downstream analytics.
Agency and vendor management: Manage external marketing operations resources, including scope, budgets, priorities, and capacity allocation. Identify opportunities to replace repetitive agency tasks with scalable automation as AI capabilities mature.
Team leadership and organizational development: Lead and develop the marketing operations team, currently comprising one direct report and an external agency resource. Assess future organizational needs and develop plans for additional roles, specialized expertise, or embedded operational support as the function grows.
Continuous improvement: Balance hands-on technical troubleshooting with strategic planning, prioritizing durable system improvements over temporary fixes. Use performance data and operational feedback to improve efficiency, scalability, and the overall effectiveness of marketing operations.
