We're looking for a Marketing Operations Manager to own the systems behind our marketing programs and connect them to the BDR and sales teams so they run as one motion rather than a series of handoffs. When Marketing launches a program, this person makes sure it's built, QA'd, and lands cleanly with reps. When a BDR identifies an opportunity, this person makes sure the data, lists, and programs behind it are ready to act on immediately. The quality and completeness of our GTM data is what makes that speed possible, and as we expand into new segments and apply more AI and automation across the revenue engine, that foundation matters more every quarter.
You'll join a Revenue Operations team that has built the core routing, enrichment, and funnel infrastructure, and you'll have room to improve each of them. Because marketing systems feed directly into the sales process, you'll also partner with Sales and BDR teams on Salesforce work that keeps pipeline moving, and help harden routing, enrichment, and data hygiene alongside the rest of RevOps.
This role is built for someone who ramps fast and runs independently. With documented systems and SOPs to lean on, you'll be expected to own your queue within your first 30–45 days and make sound calls without waiting for sign-off. Day-to-day operational support is a real part of the job, but the greater impact comes from identifying and building durable, scalable solutions that drive revenue. The ideal candidate builds strong relationships across Sales, Marketing, and BDR leadership, treats data as a strategic asset, and consistently prioritizes the work with the greatest business impact.
