Our ideal candidates have strategic prowess and the ability to use data to build best practices and implement great ideas in collaboration with our team and our community.   

About the Director, Demand Generation Role:  

We’re looking for a highly driven and hands-on Director of Demand Generation to own and scale our end-to-end demand generation engine.

Essential Functions: 

• Paid Media Management 

• Oversee the full-funnel demand generation and paid media strategy, owning CAC, lead volume, and lead quality targets across all paid channels.

• Execute a rigorous test-and-learn approach across creative, audience, channel, and offer variables. 

• Analytics, Attribution & Performance 

• Build and manage campaign tracking and attribution infrastructure to establish true channel-level ROI visibility and enable data-driven optimization. 

• Own CAC, lead volume, lead quality, and funnel conversion metrics across all paid channels, with the ability to connect top-of-funnel performance to downstream patient conversion and retention outcomes 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Leadership 

• Partner cross-functionally with Brand, Operations, IT, Sales, and clinical teams to ensure demand converts efficiently into new patients 

• Contribute a data-driven POV to the broader growth leadership team, educating stakeholders on channel dynamics, attribution tradeoffs, and optimization priorities 

• Manage agency and vendor relationships across paid media, direct mail, and marketing technology 

• Serve as the internal subject matter expert on performance marketing, translating complex channel dynamics into clear strategic recommendations for senior leadership 

Must-have Qualifications and Skills: 

• 7-10 years in demand generation or performance marketing, with demonstrated ownership of full-funnel paid media programs 

• Extensive experience with Salesforce  

• Proven experience managing significant paid media budgets across Google, Meta, Direct Mail, and other online and offline channels. 

• Hands-on proficiency with campaign tracking, attribution tools, and marketing analytics 

• Strong analytical skills and comfort presenting performance data and strategic recommendations to senior leadership. Demonstrated experience using Salesforce Marketing Cloud. 

• Track record of building or rebuilding demand engines, not just managing steady-state programs 

• Authorized to work in the United States 

Nice-to-have Qualifications and Skills: 

• Experience in healthcare, health tech, or a highly regulated consumer category strongly preferred

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

• 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

Director, Safety & Compliance 

Location: Minneapolis, MN (or commuting distance)
Travel: Frequent travel across Minnesota; ~10% out-of-state
Type: Full-time, Exempt

Why This Role Matters

This is not a traditional safety role. As Director of Safety & Compliance for Capacity*Connect, you will own and build Sparkfund’s safety program for one of our most strategic growth initiatives. This is a field-first leadership role where success isn’t measured by policies written—it’s measured by what actually happens on job sites.

You’ll operate as the senior safety authority across a complex portfolio of battery energy storage and infrastructure projects, partnering directly with utility and data center clients, subcontractors, and internal leadership. You’ll define safety standards, lead audits and incident response, and ensure our teams are operating at the highest level in real-world conditions.

If you’ve built safety programs before and want real ownership, visibility, and impact—this is that role.

What You’ll Do

Own the Safety Program

• Lead and evolve the Capacity*Connect safety strategy, standards, and policies
• Ensure compliance across utility partners, data center clients, and regulatory environments
• Maintain audit-ready documentation, training logs, and safety program records

Be a Field Leader

• Conduct site visits across all phases: pre-construction, active construction, commissioning, and post-installation
• Ensure safety standards are actually being followed—not just documented
• Engage directly with crews, subcontractors, and inspectors to assess real-world conditions

Drive Compliance & Performance

• Manage OSHA/MNOSHA reporting and supplier prequalification platforms (e.g., ISN, Avetta, Veriforce)
• Own key safety metrics including TRIR and EMR
• Partner with Finance on workers’ compensation and insurance activities

Lead Incident Response

• Own incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions
• Ensure issues are tracked to resolution and incorporated into future prevention efforts

Manage Subcontractor Safety

• Oversee subcontractor prequalification and ongoing field performance
• Issue corrective actions and stop-work orders when necessary
• Represent Sparkfund during audits with utility and data center partners

Collaborate Across the Business

• Partner with Projects, Programs, HR, Finance, and Legal to embed safety into operations
• Support onboarding, training, and contract processes to align with safety expectations
• Build reporting and dashboards that track both leading and lagging safety indicators

What Makes This Role Different

• Field-first leadership—you’ll spend time on job sites, not just behind a desk
• High ownership and authority, including stop-work decision-making
• Opportunity to build and scale a safety program—not inherit a finished one
• Exposure to complex energy storage and infrastructure projects
• Direct visibility and partnership with executive leadership
• Ability to shape safety culture across a growing, distributed organization

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 10+ years of experience in field safety, EHS, or risk management
• Experience in construction, energy, utilities, or infrastructure environments
• Proven experience owning or leading safety programs
• Strong knowledge of OSHA regulations (1910/1926) and multi-jurisdictional compliance
• Experience leading incident investigations, audits, and corrective action processes
• Ability to operate in field environments and engage directly with crews and subcontractors

Preferred

• Experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS) or electrical infrastructure
• Familiarity with NFPA, UL, and IEEE standards
• Experience working with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)
• Professional safety certifications (CSP, ASP, CHST, OHST, etc.)
• Experience managing subcontractor safety programs
• Background in multi-site or distributed operations
• Experience partnering with executive leadership on safety strategy

Work Environment

This role includes regular field engagement, including active construction and operational sites. PPE is required during site visits. When not traveling, work is remote.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $140,000 - $195,000 (based on experience and qualifications)
• Bonus eligibility (if applicable)
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with employer match
• Flexible time off
• Paid caregiver leave
• Monthly phone & Wi-Fi stipend

Open position in all True Media office locations, including Kansas City, MO, Columbia, MO, St. Louis, MO, and Minneapolis, MN; Hybrid work schedule: 3 days in the office, 2 days working from home

Visa Sponsorship is not available for this position, now or in the future. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis without requiring employer sponsorship.

The Vice President, Cultural & Creative Media Innovation is a senior individual contributor who serves as the agency's foremost authority on culture, audience behavior, and media innovation. This role exists primarily to fuel new business growth (approximately 80% of responsibilities) by translating real-time cultural intelligence and audience research into bold, media-first ideas that win pitches and open doors. A smaller but meaningful portion of the role (approximately 20%) supports high-profile existing client engagements at critical moments. Reporting directly to agency leadership, this position operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to move quickly — identifying a culturally relevant moment one day and having a client-ready concept the following day.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Other duties may be assigned)

• Cultural Intelligence & Real-Time Trend Monitoring. Monitor culture, media, social platforms, sports, entertainment, and current events on a continuous basis to identify timely, relevant moments that can be activated on behalf of clients or new business prospects. Operate with a quick-turn mentality — when a cultural moment emerges (e.g., an athlete's viral on-air comment, a breakout meme, an unexpected brand opportunity), rapidly assess its relevance and develop an actionable idea before the moment passes. Attend major cultural events, industry conferences (including South X Southwest and similar), and media and entertainment activations annually to stay on the leading edge of emerging trends, platforms, and consumer behaviors.
• Audience Research & Insight Development. Conduct and synthesize primary and secondary research to build nuanced audience portraits — going beyond demographics to map media habits, cultural touchpoints, platform behavior, and moments of peak receptivity. Identify non-obvious audience insights that form the strategic backbone of new business pitches and client recommendations. Develop reusable research frameworks and proprietary points of view that sharpen the agency's strategic differentiation.
• Media Innovation Ideation. Translate audience intelligence and cultural insight into big, executional media ideas — concepts that are surprising, channel-native, and grounded in research. Develop ideas that leverage non-traditional media opportunities: talent and cultural figure integrations, IP and brand partnerships, experiential media, platform-specific formats, and tentpole cultural moments. Ensure that media channel recommendations and creative concepts are directly informed by data — articulating a clear logical bridge from insight to idea.
• New Business Pitch Leadership. Serve as a primary strategic voice in new business pitches, owning the cultural, audience, and innovation narrative within agency presentations. Write compelling briefs and strategic frameworks that elevate work from executional planning to idea-driven platforms — giving creative and media teams a clear, inspiring foundation to build from. Collaborate with agency leadership and cross-functional pitch teams to shape a compelling, differentiated strategic story from brief to final presentation. Identify prospective client opportunities and develop proactive, speculative concepts that demonstrate the agency's cultural and media capabilities. Serve as a skilled cross-collaborator across agency partners within the Meet The People family — proactively engaging sister agencies and practice areas to inform and elevate holistic campaign strategies, including creative, brand positioning, experiential, and any other element of a fully integrated advertising campaign.
• High-Profile Client Engagement. Partner with account and integrated media teams to bring senior strategic perspective to select existing client relationships at pivotal moments — annual planning, competitive reviews, campaign launches, and upsell opportunities. Develop tailored cultural intelligence and audience insight reports for high-value clients seeking to deepen their connection to a specific audience or cultural moment.
• Agency Thought Leadership & Strategic Positioning. Build and represent the agency's cultural and strategic point of view externally — through speaking engagements, published content, conference presence, and industry networking. Introduce new thinking around emerging platforms, creators, content formats, and data signals — challenging briefs and pushing teams toward more differentiated, idea-led solutions. Contribute to the agency's positioning as a culturally-intelligent, insight-driven media partner capable of moving at the speed of culture.
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• New business presentations are distinctive, insight-driven, and idea-led — with a clear through-line from audience truth to media concept.
• Internal teams and agency partners consistently seek this role out as a strategic thought partner, not just a resource.
• Clients recognize and value the agency's cultural intelligence as a differentiator in the relationship.
• Cultural moments are identified and converted into actionable client concepts quickly — before the window closes.
• Campaigns and concepts originating from this role resonate in culture and contribute to measurable business impact.

Identify prospective client opportunities and develop proactive, speculative concepts that demonstrate the agency's cultural and media capabilities. Serve as a skilled cross-collaborator across agency partners within the Meet The People family — proactively engaging sister agencies and practice areas to inform and elevate holistic campaign strategies, including creative, brand positioning, experiential, and any other element of a fully integrated advertising campaign.
• High-Profile Client Engagement. Partner with account and integrated media teams to bring senior strategic perspective to select existing client relationships at pivotal moments — annual planning, competitive reviews, campaign launches, and upsell opportunities. Develop tailored cultural intelligence and audience insight reports for high-value clients seeking to deepen their connection to a specific audience or cultural moment.
• Agency Thought Leadership & Strategic Positioning. Build and represent the agency's cultural and strategic point of view externally — through speaking engagements, published content, conference presence, and industry networking. Introduce new thinking around emerging platforms, creators, content formats, and data signals — challenging briefs and pushing teams toward more differentiated, idea-led solutions. Contribute to the agency's positioning as a culturally-intelligent, insight-driven media partner capable of moving at the speed of culture.

The Vice President, Cultural & Creative Media Innovation is a senior individual contributor who serves as the agency's foremost authority on culture, audience behavior, and media innovation. This role exists primarily to fuel new business growth (approximately 80% of responsibilities) by translating real-time cultural intelligence and audience research into bold, media-first ideas that win pitches and open doors. A smaller but meaningful portion of the role (approximately 20%) supports high-profile existing client engagements at critical moments. Reporting directly to agency leadership, this position operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to move quickly — identifying a culturally relevant moment one day and having a client-ready concept the following day.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (Other duties may be assigned)

• Cultural Intelligence & Real-Time Trend Monitoring. Monitor culture, media, social platforms, sports, entertainment, and current events on a continuous basis to identify timely, relevant moments that can be activated on behalf of clients or new business prospects. Operate with a quick-turn mentality — when a cultural moment emerges (e.g., an athlete's viral on-air comment, a breakout meme, an unexpected brand opportunity), rapidly assess its relevance and develop an actionable idea before the moment passes. Attend major cultural events, industry conferences (including South X Southwest and similar), and media and entertainment activations annually to stay on the leading edge of emerging trends, platforms, and consumer behaviors.
• Audience Research & Insight Development. Conduct and synthesize primary and secondary research to build nuanced audience portraits — going beyond demographics to map media habits, cultural touchpoints, platform behavior, and moments of peak receptivity. Identify non-obvious audience insights that form the strategic backbone of new business pitches and client recommendations. Develop reusable research frameworks and proprietary points of view that sharpen the agency's strategic differentiation.
• Media Innovation Ideation. Translate audience intelligence and cultural insight into big, executional media ideas — concepts that are surprising, channel-native, and grounded in research. Develop ideas that leverage non-traditional media opportunities: talent and cultural figure integrations, IP and brand partnerships, experiential media, platform-specific formats, and tentpole cultural moments. Ensure that media channel recommendations and creative concepts are directly informed by data — articulating a clear logical bridge from insight to idea.
• New Business Pitch Leadership. Serve as a primary strategic voice in new business pitches, owning the cultural, audience, and innovation narrative within agency presentations. Write compelling briefs and strategic frameworks that elevate work from executional planning to idea-driven platforms — giving creative and media teams a clear, inspiring foundation to build from. Collaborate with agency leadership and cross-functional pitch teams to shape a compelling, differentiated strategic story from brief to final presentation. Identify prospective client opportunities and develop proactive, speculative concepts that demonstrate the agency's cultural and media capabilities. Serve as a skilled cross-collaborator across agency partners within the Meet The People family — proactively engaging sister agencies and practice areas to inform and elevate holistic campaign strategies, including creative, brand positioning, experiential, and any other element of a fully integrated advertising campaign.

Develop tailored cultural intelligence and audience insight reports for high-value clients seeking to deepen their connection to a specific audience or cultural moment.
