We''re looking for an experienced B2B marketer who has run ABM programs end to end and thrives at the intersection of Marketing and Sales.

What You''ll Own

This role is the strategic owner and hands-on operator of four core areas:

• ABM digital programs & omnichannel expansion - Manage and optimize our current ABM digital programs (display, paid media, CTV, and video) and own the roadmap to scale them into a coordinated omnichannel motion spanning digital, email, events/webinars, direct mail, and gifting.
• ABM gifting - Own our scalable gifting program (Reachdesk), including marketing-led quarterly drops, 1:1 sales-triggered sends, budget management, and driving rep adoption and utilization.
• SDR & Sales education and support - Serve as ABM''s primary partner to the SDR organization and Sales leadership: train teams on sales intelligence and intent data, manage and refine SDR/AE alert workflows, and ensure fast, effective follow-up on marketing-sourced signals.
• 6sense platform management - Act as administrator and internal expert for 6sense: segments, audiences, predictive models, 6QA definitions, sales intelligence access, alerts, and integrations with our CRM and sales engagement tools.
• Enterprise lead generation & revenue - Own the Enterprise lead gen strategy and funnel end to end, with responsibility for marketing-generated pipeline and revenue for the Enterprise segment, partnering with Sales leadership on targets and forecasts.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop and execute ABM strategy end to end, with a structured framework aligned to account segments, buying stages, and 1:1 / 1:few / 1:many program tiers.
• Research and identify top accounts and ideal customer profile, create audience segmentation, and develop growth strategies based on findings.
• Use intent data and predictive analytics to identify and prioritize in-market accounts and orchestrate timely activation across marketing and outbound teams.
• Partner with SDR leadership and Sales leadership on account selection, alert workflows, speed-to-lead targets, and follow-up quality; monitor sales activity per qualified account and continuously improve the marketing-to-sales handoff.
• Deliver ongoing SDR and Sales enablement: onboarding to ABM tools and signals, playbooks for engaging target accounts, and proactive communication of upcoming campaigns, gifts, and plays.
• Plan and execute integrated ABM campaigns that combine digital, webinars/events, content, and gifting to penetrate and progress high-value accounts.
• Partner with Analytics and Marketing Operations teams to ensure ABM influence is properly tracked across target accounts and build and maintain dashboards for ongoing reporting to stakeholders.
• Effectively collaborate cross-functionally within Marketing (paid, campaigns, content, events) and with Sales to produce on-time deliverables that meet business goals and integrate and activate those deliverables across channels.
• Measure and report on key ABM KPIs - qualified accounts (6QAs), engaged contacts per account, account penetration, sales activity and speed-to-lead, influenced pipeline and revenue - and partner with leadership on forecasts and impact models.
• Apply an experimentation mindset: test, learn, and optimize campaigns, channels, and workflows based on data.
• Be a subject matter expert in our technology, market trends, target personas and pain points to optimize campaigns.
• Evaluate new ABM channels, technologies, and data sources, and manage integrations across the ABM tech stack (e.g., 6sense, Reachdesk, Salesloft, CRM, marketing automation).

Education and Experience

• 5-7+ years'' B2B marketing experience, preferably in the SaaS industry, with at least 3 years running ABM or targeted account programs (1:1, 1:few, and scaled).
• Hands-on, power-user experience with an ABM/intent platform - 6sense strongly preferred (Demandbase or similar considered) - including segment building, predictive models, and sales intelligence.
• Experience with gifting/direct mail platforms (e.g., Reachdesk, Sendoso) and sales engagement tools (e.g., Salesloft, Outreach).
• Demonstrated success partnering with SDR teams and Sales leadership - enabling reps, building alert and routing workflows, and driving measurable follow-up on marketing signals.
• Strong command of marketing analytics: pipeline influence and attribution, account engagement metrics, and ROI reporting; track record of successfully meeting business targets.
• Experience with CRM and marketing automation platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Marketo or similar).
• Proven executive presence and ability to communicate effectively with senior leaders, translating ABM results into business impact.
• Ability to work within a project management tool: submitting creative requests, managing reviews and approvals, and keeping project timelines on track.
• Superior communication skills working across internal and external departments; experience coordinating cross-departmental initiatives.
• Organized, detail-oriented and highly motivated, with project management experience in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
