We usually respond within a week
Role Purpose
You are part of the Global Commercial marketing team, acting as the expert who owns our marketing operations, automation, and inbound qualification processes end-to-end. You are the connection between marketing and the Rev Ops and commercial teams (Sales and Customer Success) — turning raw inbound interest into qualified, well-routed pipeline through smart segmentation, robust HubSpot automation, and increasingly, AI-powered workflows and structured detailed tracking and reporting.
This role has evolved into a highly technical, high-ownership position at the center of our revenue engine. It requires a true HubSpot power user who thinks in workflows and segments, is comfortable implementing AI tools to scale and improve marketing operations, and proactively owns projects from idea to measurable impact — rather than waiting to be told what to build next.
What You'll Own
HubSpot Automation, Workflows & AI Implementation — the core of this role
• Design, build, and continuously optimize HubSpot workflows, automations, and sequences that streamline lead nurturing, lead scoring, and SQL routing.
• Act as the organization's HubSpot champion and power user , expert-level fluency across Marketing Hub and CRM, capable of building complex, multi-branch automations independently.
• Identify and implement AI-powered capabilities (within HubSpot and complementary tools) to improve lead scoring, personalization, content workflows, and operational efficiency.
• Proactively audit existing automations, spot inefficiencies or breakages, and re-architect them as processes and volume scale.
Segmentation & Database Health
• Create and manage HubSpot lists and dynamic segments for targeted campaigns and lead qualification.
• Maintain the health of the contact database — segmentation, deduplication, and data hygiene — in coordination with the Operations team.
Reporting & Analytics
• Develop and maintain high-level reports and dashboards in HubSpot to measure lead performance, lifecycle progression, and campaign ROI.
• Present marketing campaign and pipeline performance regularly, translating data into clear, actionable recommendations to improve conversion.
• Provide the marketing team with up-to-date analytics and insights to fuel higher-converting campaigns.
Inbound Lead Qualification & Management
• Track, qualify, distribute, and manage incoming prospect and customer leads via HubSpot CRM.
• Manage calling lists and follow up daily with leads using an omnichannel approach (calls, email, and other channels) to qualify and progress them.
• Own the end-to-end inbound qualification experience — from first touch through hand-off and follow-up to deal close.
Cross-Functional Partnership & Sales Enablement
• Act as the conduit between Rev Ops, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing — championing inbound processes to drive pipeline and boost conversion.
• Follow up daily with key stakeholders to track and monitor inbound lead and campaign performance.
• Equip commercial teams with the information and context they need to deliver a high-quality experience with inbound leads.
Project Ownership & Proactivity
• Take full ownership of marketing operations projects end-to-end — from scoping through execution to reporting on impact — with minimal need for oversight.
• Proactively bring forward ideas, tests, and improvements rather than waiting for direction; treat marketing operations as a continuously optimized system.
What We're Looking For
Must-have
• Proven, hands-on expert-level experience with HubSpot (Marketing Hub and CRM) — able to independently build complex workflows, automations, sequences, lists, and dynamic segments.
• Demonstrated experience implementing or leveraging AI tools within marketing operations (e.g., AI-assisted scoring, personalization, content or workflow automation).
• Strong analytical skills, with experience building reports and dashboards that connect marketing activity to pipeline and revenue outcomes.
• A track record of owning projects proactively and driving them to completion with limited supervision.
• Experience managing inbound lead qualification, including omnichannel outreach (phone and email).
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills, comfortable acting as a bridge between marketing, sales, and customer success.
• Meticulous, detail-oriented approach to data quality and database hygiene.
• HubSpot certifications (e.g., Marketing Hub Software, Revenue Operations, Reporting).
Nice-to-have
• Experience with complementary tools (e.g., Zapier/Make, Slack integrations, BI/reporting tools).
• Prior experience in a SaaS or subscription-based business.
Why This Role Matters
This position sits at the heart of how inbound demand becomes revenue. The person in this seat doesn't just execute — they design the systems, automations, and reporting that the entire commercial organization relies on, and they're trusted to identify opportunities and act on them proactively.
