What you'll own

This role owns one number: SQLs.

You'll own the demand engine that generates a predictable stream of high-intent leads, and you'll be accountable for their quality through to Sales Qualified Lead (SQL).

Specifically, you'll own:

• SQL attainment — building the demand engine that consistently delivers qualified opportunities.

• Channel strategy — deciding where the next dollar and the next hour should go across organic search, AI search (AEO), content, gated assets, referrals, directories, events and paid acquisition.

• Execution at scale — leveraging contractors, automation and AI to execute more programs than a traditional one-person demand generation team could.

What you'll do

• Build and execute demand generation programs across organic search, AI search, content, partnerships, gated assets, referrals, directories, events and paid acquisition.

• Take product marketing assets and messaging and turn them into repeatable lead-generation systems—gating content, distributing it through the right channels, repurposing it for social, newsletters and AI search, and continuously improving performance.

• Segment and target the practitioner audiences we sell to—researchers, designers and product managers—so we attract the right buyers, not simply more buyers.

• Partner closely with Product Marketing to move quickly from hypothesis → launch → measurement → iteration.

• Work alongside our Growth Lead and GTM Engineer to build AI-assisted workflows for enrichment, personalization, content production, routing and automation so execution scales without linear headcount.

• Measure the funnel rigorously—MQL → SQL → SQO conversion, cost per qualified lead and channel ROI—and make data-driven decisions about where to invest, where to optimise and what to stop.

How the role fits

We're intentionally a lean marketing team. Each person owns a distinct stage of the funnel with clear accountability.

Product Marketing
Creates the positioning, messaging and assets.

↓

Demand Generation (this role)
Turns those assets into qualified demand and owns lead quality through to SQL.

↓

Growth Lead
Qualifies SQLs into SQOs and pipeline.

Success depends on tight collaboration. You and our Growth Lead own the same SQL number from different sides of the handoff, supported by a shared SQL definition and response SLA.

What we're looking for

Must-have

• 5–8 years in B2B demand generation or growth marketing, ideally within SaaS.

• You've personally owned a pipeline, SQL or qualified lead target—and delivered against it.

• You think in revenue, conversion rates and pipeline, not marketing vanity metrics.

• You've built and operated multi-channel demand programs end to end, continuously improving performance based on data.

• You're AI-native in practice. You've built workflows where AI materially increased output or reduced execution time, and you can explain exactly what changed. (We'll ask.)

• Strong channel judgment—you know where to double down, where to experiment and where to stop investing.

• Comfortable operating in a lean environment where success comes from systems, contractors and automation rather than building a large team.

• Strong cross-functional communication and the ability to align Product Marketing, Sales and Operations around shared outcomes.

Nice to have

• Experience building marketing automation systems using tools such as HubSpot, Cargo, Ahrefs or Smartlead.

• Experience marketing technical products to practitioner audiences such as UX Researchers, Designers or Product Managers.

Success in the role

Within your first 12 months, we'd expect to see:

• SQL targets consistently achieved.

• Repeatable demand programs operating across multiple acquisition channels.

• AI and automation meaningfully increasing execution capacity.

• Clear visibility into channel performance and economics.

• A demand engine that scales faster than headcount.

Compensation

• Competitive on-target earnings (OTE), benchmarked to your experience and location.

• 70% base salary / 30% variable compensation.

• Variable compensation is earned quarterly against SQL attainment, scales with performance, and is uncapped.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• A culture of customer obsession and curiosity

• Opportunity to shape and scale a critical business function

• Remote-first culture with high trust and high autonomy

• Annual team retreats and virtual events

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI integrations that matter

• Competitive compensation & equity

• Generous PTO, health benefits, and learning stipend
