Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've scaled demand gen programs at B2B startups and own both strategy AND execution-no theorists here
  • You're fluent in HubSpot, Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and can read attribution data like it's English
  • You thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and turn experiments into repeatable playbooks that scale
  • You partner closely with sales teams, care about lead quality over vanity metrics, and measure everything
  • You're energized by cybersecurity or enterprise tech and want equity upside in a scaling company
Won't Work If
  • You need 100% remote or can't commit to frequent Bay Area office time-this role requires in-person collaboration
  • You're a strategist-only and uncomfortable with hands-on campaign management, reporting, and optimization
  • You haven't worked in startup environments or prefer large orgs with established demand gen infrastructure
  • You're uncomfortable with ambiguity, lack of process, or building demand generation from the ground up

Interview Process

1
