In this role, you'll serve as the operational backbone of the marketing ops team, enabling scale, ensuring data integrity, and driving measurable impact across the funnel globally.

Beyond day-to-day operations, you'll also own special projects focused on automation and innovation. This is a highly cross-functional role that blends leadership, systems thinking, and a builder mindset, ideal for someone who can balance strategic direction with hands-on execution.

In this role, you will also be responsible to:

  • Lead and mentor a small, high-performing Marketing Operations team, fostering growth, accountability, and strong execution

  • Own and administer Marketo, ensuring system performance, campaign execution, and compliance with data privacy regulations like GDPR

  • Manage and evolve the full marketing tech stack, identifying and implementing tools that enhance scale, performance, and automation

  • Champion data quality and governance, especially within Marketo, to ensure accurate reporting, segmentation, and campaign targeting

  • Partner cross-functionally with Sales, RevOps, IT, and Growth teams to ensure alignment on lead management, campaign execution, and pipeline generation

  • Drive pipeline through intelligent automation, including lead scoring, routing, enrichment, and agentic workflows that optimize performance

  • Support marketing budgeting, forecasting, and planning by delivering accurate data and insights tied to campaign performance and pipeline impact

  • Own and evolve marketing performance reporting, surfacing actionable insights across the funnel to guide strategy and execution

  • Build scalable operational processes and frameworks to support campaign launches, field events, outbound motions, and ABM programs

  • Ensure flawless execution of special projects, including building automations and enhancing lead flow to improve speed-to-lead and pipeline acceleration

RequirementsQualifications / Experience / Technical Skills
  • 7 years of experience in B2B Marketing Operations, preferably in SaaS or high-growth environments.

  • Strong experience with tools like Marketo, Salesforce, Bizible, Demandbase, and enrichment tools.

  • Experience with Workato and any related Automation tool is a HUGE plus.

  • Demonstrated experience building scalable marketing processes and systems from the ground up.

  • Deep understanding of B2B marketing funnel dynamics, lead management, and campaign operations.

  • Proven track record of driving results through operational excellence and cross-functional collaboration.

  • Strong analytical skills; comfort building dashboards and pulling reports in Salesforce and Sigma.

  • Experience managing and mentoring junior team members (preferred).

  • Excellent communication, project management, and stakeholder management skills.

Soft Skills / Personal Characteristics
  • Attention to detail and strong analytical skills is non-negotiable

  • Empathetic leader who builds strong relationships, supports team development, and listens actively

  • Resourceful and solutions-oriented — thrives in ambiguity and finds a way forward, even when there's no playbook

  • Collaborative by default, with a track record of building trust across marketing, sales, and revops teams

  • Relentlessly reliable — shows up when it counts, even if that means jumping in at 1 a.m. to get something over the line

  • High ownership mindset — takes pride in their work, holds themselves accountable, and follows through on commitments

  • Curious and driven to learn, especially when it comes to new technologies, automation, and finding ways to scale smarter

  • Low ego, high impact — focused on results, not credit, and always willing to roll up their sleeves
