Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've scaled demand gen from $0-$50M+ ARR at a B2B SaaS company and own the metrics (SAOs, pipeline, CAC)
  • You're genuinely excited about AI-not just hype-and have experimented with autonomous workflows, intent data, or predictive modeling in production
  • You're a strategic operator who can build frameworks AND execute in the weeds; you don't delegate all the work
  • You thrive in ambiguity and can architect a growth engine from scratch across multiple geographies and buyer segments
  • You have P&L accountability mindset; you measure everything and aren't afraid to kill underperforming channels or campaigns
Won't Work If
  • You're purely strategic and don't want to get hands-on with tools, data, and day-to-day execution-this role is 60/40 strategy/ops
  • You need 100% remote flexibility; both NYC and Berlin offices are on-site expectations
  • You're risk-averse or uncomfortable with fast iteration and learning by doing in a scaling startup environment
  • You view marketing as a support function rather than a core revenue engine; this company is 95% marketing-led
