# Demand Generation Manager

Pipeline, MQLs, ABM. Where marketing meets the sales number.

## About this role

Demand Gen is marketing tied to the sales number. The role owns pipeline, MQL volume, ABM programs, and increasingly the marketing-ops stack (HubSpot, Salesforce, 6sense, Clearbit). Best-fit candidates think in funnels, can build a HubSpot workflow at 11pm, and have war stories about negotiating MQL definitions with Sales VPs. The discipline is heavy in B2B SaaS at $5M-$50M ARR, where the marketing team is judged purely on pipeline contribution. AI is reshaping the role, increasingly demand gen leaders are owning the sales-AI tooling (warm intros via Clay/Sandler, AI SDR enrichment) on top of classic ABM.
