Position Summary:

Key Responsibilities:

• Paid media: Lead paid media programs across paid search, paid social, display and retargeting, and emerging channels, owning the channel mix and CAC and delivering a measurable improvement in cost per qualified pipeline dollar.

• Budget management: Manage the full budget cycle: forecasting, pacing, in-quarter reallocation, and the business case for increases, with a clear view of the marginal return of the next dollar in every channel.

• Experimentation: Run an always-on testing program across creative, audience, offer, bid strategy, and landing-page experience, with clear criteria for what gets cut and what gets scaled.

• Conversion optimization: Own the paid conversion path from ad to landing page to form, working with web and lifecycle teams to close the gaps that cost conversion.

• Agency & vendor management: Direct paid agencies and channel reps to outcomes rather than deliverables, and recommend what is worth bringing in-house.

• Measurement & reporting: Build the measurement layer, including attribution, incrementality testing, and channel-level reporting that connects spend to MQLs, pipeline, and CAC efficiency, and one integrated view of paid and organic performance.

• Organic growth: Lead the organic growth strategy, roadmap, and OKRs, growing qualified organic traffic and improving conversion from organic visitors to activated users and pipeline.

• AI visibility (AEO/GEO): Build the SPS AEO/GEO playbook, including citation strategy, content structured for model retrieval, and tracking of SPS share of voice in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.

• Technical SEO oversight: Set technical SEO priorities and hold the agency or specialist accountable for delivery, judging the quality of the work and what is worth engineering time.

• Community & review presence: Unify SPS presence across Reddit, G2, YouTube, and other community and review surfaces into one discoverability strategy.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 5–7+ years in digital marketing, demand generation, or growth at a B2B SaaS, fintech, or technology company, including direct ownership of a paid media budget and an organic search program.

• Paid media depth: Hands-on command of paid search and paid social, including owning a meaningful budget, building a channel mix from scratch, and defending where every dollar went and what it returned.

• Pipeline and budget orientation: Thinks in SQLs, pipeline, CAC, and payback, not impressions and rankings. Able to build the business case for more spend and to recognize when to hand budget back.

• AI visibility fluency: Active experimentation with citation strategies, structured content for model consumption, or measuring share of voice in answer engines. This cannot be trained on the job.

• Technical SEO literacy: Understanding of site architecture, schema, crawl, and Core Web Vitals sufficient to set priorities, brief a specialist or agency, and tell strong work from weak. Hands-on technical expertise is not required.

• Content instincts: Ability to distinguish content that earns trust from content that fills a page, with experience working alongside content teams operating at scale.

• Vendor management: Experience managing agencies and holding them to outcomes, not just deliverables, and judgment on when to stop outsourcing and bring work in-house.

• Measurement rigor: Comfort with the limits of attribution and the ability to design tests that produce a defensible read anyway.

• Comfort with ambiguity: Makes consequential decisions with incomplete data and prefers building a function from scratch over running one that is already humming.

• Experimentation mindset: Treats failure as a feedback loop, running experiments, cutting what does not work quickly, and doubling down on what does.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience navigating a major Google algorithm update that materially impacted the business, including diagnosing, adapting, and recovering.

• Experience running incrementality or geo-holdout testing on paid channels and changing a budget decision based on the results.

• Understanding of how retrieval-augmented generation systems select and rank sources, and the ability to translate that into actionable content and structural strategy.

• Hands-on use of AI and automation tools in day-to-day workflows.

• Experience in a regulated or compliance-sensitive industry.
