Director, Growth Marketing
Department: Marketing 
Reports to: Sr. Director, Corporate Marketing 
Location: Remote
About the Role
As Director, Growth Marketing, you’ll own the engine behind OpenX’s growth: the channels that build pipeline, the data that measures it, the platforms that power it, and the team that runs it. That spans multichannel acquisition and AI search visibility, attribution and pipeline reporting to executive leadership, HubSpot and marketing ops, and the digital operations team behind openx.com.
You’re equally strategic and technical, with the credibility to drive influence across the organization, from aligning cross-functional partners on priorities to turning the numbers into a clear story for commercial and executive leadership.
What You'll Own
Pipeline & Demand Generation
Build and scale a full-funnel demand gen strategy across paid, organic, ABM, and partner channels targeting publishers, demand partners, and agency/brand buyers. Partner closely with the Integrated Marketing team to align on messaging and plan development. 
Own pipeline targets by segment (e.g., enterprise publisher, mid-market, DSP/agency demand side) and report against them monthly
Partner with SDR/BDR leadership on lead scoring, routing, and follow-up cadences
AI Visibility & Search Growth
Own OpenX's discoverability across both traditional search and LLMs, bringing the same attribution rigor to this channel as to paid/organic: track LLM referral traffic and downstream pipeline influence, not just visibility for its own sake
Run Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) programs: structured data and schema markup, content architecture that LLMs can parse and cite, and page-age/link-equity fixes on key landing pages
Benchmark OpenX's share of voice against key category competitors across LLM outputs, and prioritize content fixes based on where OpenX under-indexes
Partner with content and comms to make OpenX.com and resource pages "agent-legible" (clean markup, crawlable feeds, accurate structured facts about the product) and scale our video program.
Marketing Analytics & Attribution
Design and maintain a revenue attribution model that credits marketing's role in deals — from first touch through closed-won — in a way commercial leadership trusts
Own HubSpot, including its AI tools, as the marketing automation and lead lifecycle engine; partner with the team owning Salesforce and with Digital Ops on the broader stack (CRM, BI) for tracking and reporting
Deliver recurring reporting on pipeline influence, cost per opportunity, and channel ROI to executive leadership
Team Management
Lead and develop the digital operations and web development team: set priorities, run the operating cadence, and own performance management and growth plans for each team member
Build a culture centered around collaboration, scalability, continuous improvement, and business impact
Direct the growth marketing budget and shift spend across channels based on cost per opportunity and pipeline return
What You Bring
10+ years in growth marketing, ideally in adtech, SaaS, or another B2B environment
Ownership-level fluency in HubSpot, including its AI tools, paired with the ability to partner effectively with the team owning Salesforce; comfort with a BI tool and the ability to build attribution logic 
Hands-on experience with AEO/GEO/LLMO — you've run a program to improve brand visibility and citation in AI-generated answers
Working knowledge of how structured data, schema, and site architecture affect both classic SEO and LLM crawlability
