What You Offer:

• 7+ years of prior demand generation experience at a SaaS, PasS, or equivalent high-tech company where you were responsible for the company or product line's pipeline number that is on par with or exceeds the scale of a Series C SaaS company.

• Experience across paid, owned, and earned lead sources
• Experience with hybrid inbound & outbound sales motions; ABM a bonus
• Expertise in modern systems, processes, and tactics associated with this type of funnel
