- Playbook Development: Create and maintain playbooks, scripts, and outreach templates to standardize and optimize team execution.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Revenue Marketing and Marketing Operations to prioritize target accounts, refine ICPs, implement workflows, and streamline lead management.
- Engagement Strategy: Develop and manage approaches to drive engagement and usage for new accounts, ensuring alignment with broader marketing efforts and pipeline objectives.
You might be a good fit if you have:

- Strong analytical skills with experience interpreting performance metrics (e.g., outreach effectiveness, touchpoints, pipeline health) to optimize strategies and drive results.
- In-depth understanding of pipeline development, marketing-to-sales alignment, and demand generation best practices. Familiarity with Account-Based Marketing (ABM) and target account strategies is a plus.
- Skilled in using CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) and sales enablement tools (e.g., Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo).
- Proven success in fostering alignment between marketing and sales teams to achieve pipeline and revenue goals.
