Role Overview

The Account-Based Marketing (ABM) Manager is responsible for designing and executing 1:1, 1:few, and 1:many programs that deepen engagement, accelerate pipeline, and drive revenue within a defined set of strategic and high-potential accounts.

• Coordinate program logistics end-to-end, including audience lists, landing pages, invitations, reminders, follow-up, and handoff to Sales.

Sales Alignment & Collaboration

• Act as a strategic partner to Sales for target accounts, joining regular account reviews and QBRs to align on goals, coverage, and gaps
• Provide Sales with ABM playbooks, one-page program briefs, talk tracks, and follow-up templates to support consistent execution
• Help Sales prioritize next-best actions within accounts (meetings, workshops, briefings, executive programs) based on engagement and intent signals
• Capture and share win stories, best practices, and learnings from ABM programs across regions and sales teams

Data, Insights & Reporting

• Define and track ABM performance metrics, such as engagement across buying groups, opportunity creation, deal acceleration, influenced and sourced pipeline, and revenue
• Partner with Analytics, RevOps, and Marketing Operations to pull and analyze account-level reports from CRM, marketing automation, and BI tools
• Build closed-loop reporting to show impact of ABM programs at the account, segment, and program level; present insights in monthly/quarterly business reviews
• Use data and experimentation to test, learn, and optimize ABM tactics, audiences, and messaging

Technology, Data & Operations

• Leverage ABM and marketing technologies (e.g., CRM, marketing automation, intent platforms, personalization tools, sales engagement platforms) to orchestrate and scale programs
• Maintain clean account lists, segments, and tags in CRM/marketing tools to enable accurate targeting and measurement
• Partner with Operations to document and improve ABM processes, SLAs, and workflows across Marketing and Sales

Qualifications

• 5-7+ years of experience in B2B marketing, account-based marketing, field/regional marketing, demand generation, or a related role; experience in SaaS/technology preferred
• Hands-on experience building and executing ABM programs (1:1, 1:few, or 1:many) in partnership with Sales or Customer Success
• Strong project management and organization skills; able to manage multiple programs, stakeholders, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Comfort working with CRM and marketing tools (e.g., Salesforce, Marketo/Eloqua/HubSpot, ABM/intent platforms, sales engagement tools) and pulling basic performance reports
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex information for Sales, executives, and cross-functional partners
• A data-guided mindset and curiosity to understand what’s driving results and where to iterate

Preferred Experience

• Direct experience running account-based plays for strategic, enterprise, or key growth accounts spanning multiple personas
• Familiarity with developer and technical audiences (e.g., developers, architects, IT decision makers) and how to engage them alongside business stakeholders
• Experience collaborating with Sales Development / BDR teams on outbound and follow-up motions tied to ABM campaigns
• Background working with industry or vertical-focused programs (e.g., financial services, retail, healthcare, public sector)

What Success Looks Like

• ABM programs launch on time, on brief, and on budget, with smooth cross-functional execution
• Clear improvements in engagement across buying groups, opportunity creation, deal velocity, and influenced/sourced pipeline within target accounts
• Strong satisfaction and trust from Sales leadership and account teams, who view ABM as a critical partner in their growth strategy
• High-quality, consistent documentation, reporting, and insights that feed into regional, account, and functional planning cycles
