About the role
We're looking for a Senior Manager of Marketing Operations to be the operational backbone of our Corporate Marketing organization — and a close operating partner to the VP of Corporate Marketing. This person will own our budget, drive our semi-annual planning process, bring rigor to how we use data and analytics, and act as a chief of staff across the org: helping prioritize, coordinate, and keep cross-functional work moving. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 7–10+ years in marketing operations, revenue operations, or a related operational/analytical role, ideally within a complex or matrixed B2B organization
- Strong analytical fluency: able to understand data sources, methodologies, attribution approaches and KPI definitions well enough to challenge assumptions, identify inconsistencies and distinguish signal from noise
- Hands-on experience with Salesforce and Marketo (or comparable marketing automation/CRM platforms) even if not immediately applied here, this experience needs to be real and current enough to be credible
- Strong track record owning a budget of meaningful size, including forecasting and variance management, and partnering directly with Finance
- Demonstrated ability to design and run a planning process for a function or organization, not just participate in one
- Builds systems and processes that scale, rather than relying on one-off effort each cycle
