Your qualities:
- You’re obsessed with optimizing things. You love the forensics of trying to figure out where customers or prospective customers are getting stuck. Then you think of ways to optimize experiences and make it easier for people to get around on the site, transact or connect with sales.
- You’re an analytic powerhouse. You don’t just look at data you are obsessed with it, live in it. You enjoy trying to solve problems with data and you want everything to be instrumented, attributed, forecasted and measured. You thrive from setting benchmarks and hitting them.
- You love experimenting. Whether it’s adopting a new technology or defining a user test, you thrive on turning the knobs and levers to see what works. You always have a set of ideas queued up (some crazy) and you like coming up with hypotheses, instrumenting and testing.
- You’re on the cutting edge of MarTech. You’re a student of marketing and are always reading blogs, attending conferences and watching videos to learn the latest tools and techniques. You love to be sure you know what’s new and hot. There’s probably a vendor demo on your calendar right now and you enjoy crafting the perfect marketing stack.
- You have a player/coach leadership approach. We are a growing company and we need the kind of leaders who will be willing to go in and build keywords not just define the strategy. We will be growing the demand generation function, but the right person for the role will have an active and ongoing role in tactics as well as building and leading a world-class team.
