Position Summary

BackBox is looking for an experienced Director of Demand Generation who will be responsible for the strategy and execution of marketing programs that attract, capture, and nurture marketing leads to the point of sales-readiness. We define sales-ready as starting an eval, requesting a demo, or accepting a meeting with an AE, so familiarity with both inbound and outbound strategies and marketing automation will be a must.

Supporting you will be a Marketing Operations Manager, web developer, and both internal and external SDR teams. The ops manager has been in place for a year so we have built the infrastructure and reporting, a process for the handoff to Sales, and agreed on funnel stage definitions with Sales leadership. Now we need someone who will quickly build a multichannel strategy and aggressively launch programs to build pipeline.

The ideal candidate will be extremely entrepreneurial, with a strong track record of driving leads and revenue for B2B software companies. This position reports directly to the VP of Marketing, and requires extensive collaboration with Marketing Ops, Field Marketing, Web Development and Sales leadership.

Responsibilities

· Analyze and report on the company-wide demandgen funnel, both marketing and sales generated, and identify opportunities to improve conversion at each stage.

· Strategize, develop and execute short and long-term multi-channel campaigns to drive leads and generate pipeline

· Deliver sufficient leads at each stage to meet sales targets for new business opportunities created.

· Continuously monitor, report on, and optimize campaign performance

· Identify new markets and leadgen tactics to encourage business growth

· Hands-on experience managing Google Adwords campaigns, LinkedIn campaigns, and Peer review programs

· Ability to edit existing copy and content to suit the needs of demandgen programs: emails, landing pages, ad copy, peer review listings, etc. You shouldn’t need to write any new content from scratch, but you shouldn’t expect the words you need for campaigns to be written for you.

· A data-driven approach to justifying when and why it’s necessary to build the team responsible for all of the above.

· Self-starter, self-led, able to manage long-term projects to timeline and budget, and report on progress
