The role emphasizes designing for scale while keeping the team lean, automated, and high-leverage. Required qualifications include 5+ years in Marketing Operations or related function; strong hands-on experience administering Marketo or HubSpot; deep understanding of demand generation, lifecycle marketing, campaign operations, and marketing funnel measurement; experience administering and operationalizing Salesforce CRM; background building marketing operations in enterprise SaaS; technical mindset with ability to learn new technologies quickly; experience designing systems for rapidly growing companies; familiarity with GDPR/CCPA/CPRA compliance; comfort working cross-functionally; and strong AI fluency with practical instinct for leveraging AI to increase operational leverage.
