Irvine, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/26/2026
Da Vinci is seeking a driven, high-accountability Marketing & Business Development Manager to own and improve our inbound pipeline. This is a hybrid, funnel-focused individual contributor role within a mid-stage SaaS company serving mid-market and enterprise 3PL and warehouse operators.

As our first dedicated marketing hire, you will work closely with the CEO (who currently oversees Sales & Marketing) to strengthen demand generation, improve qualification process, and build repeatable sales and marketing processes. This is a hands-on role with no direct reports in the first year. Success comes from execution, discipline, and measurable pipeline contribution.

This role is ideal for someone who understands long B2B SaaS sales cycles (4–12 months), RFP-driven evaluations, and enterprise buying committees across Operations, IT, and Finance, and who is comfortable balancing marketing execution with structured lead qualification.
