Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've spent 3–5 years in marketing operations, lifecycle marketing, or marketing automation—and you've actually built things that moved the needle on conversion rates
  • You're operationally rigorous: data-driven, process-oriented, and obsessed with system integrations that eliminate manual work
  • You're genuinely curious about AI and are already using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI assistants to improve your own workflow—not just talking about it
  • You thrive in partnerships: working cross-functionally with sales, RevOps, and demand gen teams feels natural to you
  • You have hands-on experience with Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar CRM/marketing automation platforms—or you're confident you can pick up Chili Piper, PathFactory, and other tools quickly
Won't Work If
  • You prefer hands-off strategic work over rolling up your sleeves to debug integrations, audit data, and optimize campaigns
  • You're skeptical about AI or view it as a threat rather than a tool to amplify your impact and reduce busywork
  • You lack experience working directly with sales teams or RevOps—this role requires constant collaboration and alignment on metrics

Interview Process

1

Initial Screen

Chat with Hiring Manager (Director of Growth Marketing) about your marketing ops background, tech stack experience, and approach to AI tooling

2

Technical Deep Dive

Walk through a real marketing ops challenge (lead scoring, routing logic, or campaign attribution) and how you'd solve it—bring examples of your work

3

Cross-Functional Panel

Meet with RevOps, Sales Leadership, and possibly Senior Director of Communications & Brand to assess collaboration fit and understanding of revenue impact

4

Take-Home Project

Optional: assess your ability to audit a tech stack, recommend AI integrations, or design a lifecycle program—likely 2-3 hour assignment
