Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a strategic and commercially minded Leader of Marketing Lead Generation Strategy and Enablement to define and scale how we attract, prioritize, and convert high-value prospects into pipeline and revenue. This role will architect a global lead generation strategy—grounded in deep buyer insights, robust scoring models, and data-driven prioritization—that enables sales teams to focus on the highest-potential opportunities. Working at the intersection of marketing strategy, sales enablement, and go-to-market alignment, the ideal candidate will drive both pipeline quality and velocity. An Account-Based Marketing (ABM) mindset will be applied to help deepen engagement across strategic accounts and B2B buying groups. This role will also lead the strategy and day-to-day management of our sales enablement platform (e.g., Highspot), ensuring that content is organized, aligned to the buyer journey, and effectively leveraged by revenue teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Set the strategic vision for demand creation—focusing on quality, velocity, and sales impact over raw lead volume.
  • Translate business goals, GTM priorities, and market intelligence into scalable, high-performance lead generation frameworks.
  • Define the balance between broad inbound strategy and targeted ABM tactics, with attention to how each fuels the pipeline at different lifecycle stages.
  • Build and continuously refine sophisticated lead scoring and routing models that integrate firmographics, engagement signals, intent data, and buying stage indicators.
  • Establish a segmentation strategy aligned to ideal customer profiles (ICPs), verticals, and buying group behaviors.
  • Partner with RevOps, Analytics, and Sales to ensure scoring logic aligns with pipeline conversion patterns and real-time market feedback.
  • Partner with Sales Enablement to ensure sales teams are equipped with insights, playbooks, and feedback loops tied to lead quality and readiness.
  • Create structured processes for marketing-to-sales handoff, improving speed-to-follow-up and minimizing lead leakage.
  • Help Sales understand lead behavior and scoring rationale to better tailor outreach and accelerate early-stage conversions.
  • Own the administration and strategy of Sales Enablement Tools (Highspot, etc), ensuring seamless content management, user access, and system optimization.
  • Develop and maintain sales playbooks, content governance processes, and tagging structures to support rep productivity.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, marketing, and product teams to align content with buyer journeys and go-to-market initiatives.
  • Train and support users to drive platform adoption, onboarding, and ongoing engagement across teams.
  • Analyze usage and engagement data to assess content performance, surface insights, and continuously optimize enablement efforts.
  • Ensure integrations with CRM and other tools to embed Highspot in sales workflows and track impact on revenue outcomes.
  • Act as a connective leader between Marketing, Sales, Product, RevOps, and Data teams—ensuring end-to-end pipeline cohesion.
  • Influence the evolution of our marketing and sales tech stack (e.g., MAP, CRM, ABM, intent tools) to support strategy execution.
  • Collaborate on the strategic rollout of ABM initiatives, with marketing driving precision targeting and Sales leading deep account engagement.
  • Define funnel performance KPIs and reporting frameworks across MQLs, SALs, SQLs, and pipeline coverage.
  • Partner with Marketing Operations to build dashboards that visualize lead flow, scoring efficacy, sales follow-up, and pipeline lift.
  • Lead quarterly performance reviews and optimization plans, ensuring continuous improvement in how leads are sourced, qualified, and progressed.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in B2B marketing, with at least 5 years in lead generation strategy, revenue marketing, or marketing operations.
  • Proven expertise in designing lead scoring models and lifecycle strategies that enable sales conversion.
  • Strong understanding of B2B buying journeys, complex sales cycles, and strategic account targeting.
  • Experience working with platforms such as Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot, or equivalent CRM/MAP tools.
  • Salesforce CRM expertise a must.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner closely with Sales leadership and influence go-to-market alignment.
  • Experience with sales enablement platforms (e.g., Highspot, Seismic) and strong understanding of sales and marketing workflows.
  • Ability to analyze content performance data and drive cross-functional alignment with sales, marketing, and RevOps teams.
  • Familiarity with AI-driven tools for lead scoring, content personalization, buyer intent analysis, and sales enablement.
  • Ability to leverage AI insights to improve targeting, optimize campaign performance, and automate parts of the buyer journey and sales enablement workflows.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with ABM methodologies and tools (e.g., 6sense, Demandbase, Bombora).
  • Background in industries with long or complex B2B sales cycles (e.g., financial services, SaaS, enterprise technology).
  • MBA or advanced degree in Marketing, Business, or Data Analytics.

Qualifications
