The Role
Crescendo is hiring a Head of Demand Generation & Growth Marketing to architect and scale a modern, account-centric demand engine that fuels predictable enterprise pipeline and revenue.
This is a senior, strategic role for a demand leader who understands that growth today is driven by signal, data enrichment, and orchestration—not volume. You will own the strategy, systems, and execution across Account-Based Marketing (ABM), growth marketing, lifecycle, and outbound-support motions, with a strong emphasis on data-powered targeting and personalization using modern tools like Clay. You will run demand generation like a product: with clear hypotheses, fast iteration cycles, rigorous measurement, and durable systems that compound over time.Your Mandate
- Build and scale Crescendo’s account-based demand engine
- Create predictable, high-quality pipeline for enterprise and strategic accounts
- Operationalize data-enriched, signal-driven demand generation
- Turn demand generation into a repeatable, compounding capability
What We Expect From You:
Demand Generation Strategy- Own Crescendo’s end-to-end demand generation strategy with a strong bias toward ABM and precision targeting.
- Define ICPs, segmentation, account prioritization, and buying group strategies in partnership with Sales.
- Ensure demand efforts are aligned to revenue goals, territories, and account plans.
Account-Based Marketing (ABM)
- Design and scale ABM programs across named accounts, industries, and buying committees.
- Orchestrate multi-channel engagement (email, outbound-support motions, content, lifecycle, paid, events) at the account and buying-group level.
- Partner tightly with Sales to ensure seamless coordination between account strategy, messaging, and execution.
- Measure success based on account engagement, pipeline influence, and conversion, not vanity metrics.
Growth Marketing & Channel Execution
- Own and optimize demand channels including inbound, lifecycle, SEO/AEO, paid, and experimentation.
- Scale what works, sunset what doesn’t, and continuously test new approaches.
- Apply a systems mindset to campaign design—ensuring programs perform in production, not just in theory.
Data, Signal & Tooling (Including Clay)
- Leverage modern GTM tools (such as Clay) as a core component of Crescendo’s demand and ABM motion to:
- Enrich accounts and contacts with firmographic, technographic, and intent data
- Identify buying signals and prioritize outreach timing
- Power highly personalized, account-specific messaging and prospecting at scale
- Partner with RevOps to integrate Clay-driven workflows into CRM, marketing automation, and outbound-support systems.
- Own attribution, funnel instrumentation, and reporting to clearly connect demand activity to pipeline and revenue.
- Ensure data is clean, trusted, and actively used to guide decisions.
Sales & Cross-Functional Partnership
- Partner deeply with Sales leadership to ensure demand translates into pipeline Sales trusts and can close.
- Incorporate rep and customer feedback into targeting, messaging, and program design.
- Align with Product and CX teams to ensure demand messaging reflects real customer outcomes and value.
- Build, lead, and develop a high-performing demand generation and growth marketing team.
- Set clear ownership across ABM, channels, and tooling.
- Create a culture of experimentation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
What Success Looks Like
- Demand generation produces predictable, high-quality enterprise pipeline.
- ABM programs consistently influence priority accounts and buying groups.
- Clay-powered enrichment and signal workflows materially improve targeting, personalization, and conversion.
- Funnel performance and revenue impact is transparent, explainable, and improving quarter over quarter.
- Sales trusts demand because it consistently converts into real opportunities.
- 7–12+ years of experience in demand generation, growth marketing, or revenue-facing marketing roles at high-growth B2B technology companies.
- Deep expertise in Account-Based Marketing and modern demand generation.
- Hands-on experience using Clay or similar data enrichment / signal orchestration tools as part of an ABM or growth motion.
- Proven track record of owning pipeline outcomes—not just leads or MQLs.
- Strong experience partnering with Sales in enterprise or complex deal environments.
- Highly analytical and systems-oriented; comfortable diagnosing funnel performance and attribution issues.
- Fluent in modern demand, growth, and GTM tooling and analytics.
- Execution-driven leader who balances speed, rigor, and strategic thinking.
Why This Role Matters
- Crescendo doesn’t need more leads.
- It needs precision demand powered by real signals.
- This role owns the system that makes that happen.
