Sr. Marketing Manager

Hi, I’m Euphonia, Ashby’s Director of Demand Generation. I joined Ashby in January 2024 to lead the Demand Gen function. I was initially attracted to the role due to the customer buzz around the product, and my experience from working with Harriet at Brex, and then was incredibly impressed by the depth and product market fit. Since joining, both these initial observations have proven to be true, and what truly stands out is working with some of the most talented and kind teammates while having a huge opportunity to build the Demand Gen machine. Before Ashby, I spent 4.5 years at Brex as the first paid marketing hire, building and scaling growth channels from scratch, honing my skills across demand gen and brand marketing as the company grew from fewer than 100 employees to over 1,300.

We are looking for someone to lead demand generation for our enterprise segment. You will have the autonomy to rethink and define the strategy and execution, supported by a robust tech stack and an exceptional agency partner to help bring your vision to life. It’s ABM but not in its traditional form: we’re seeking a first-principles thinker who prioritizes meaningful engagement over generic tactics / outdated playbooks (for example, prioritizing a few key impactful moments of engagement over running a laundry list of generic tactics across digital channels).

At Ashby, we are fortunate to have achieved incredible product-market fit with a customer referral flywheel in motion – growing to over 1,800 customers at companies like Snowflake, Ramp, Deel, and OpenAI. With our recent Series C raise, we’re at an exciting point in time where marketing can make an outsized impact on the company’s trajectory. Come join us! More on how we work here and why our investors are excited about us here.

What you’ll be responsible for in this role

• Develop customized ABM strategies targeting enterprise (1K-15K employees) accounts with 1:1, 1:many, and scaled programs.

• Run multi-channel campaigns across Linkedin, events, gifting and others to engage enterprise prospects.

• Manage agency partnerships: Oversee relationships with external agencies, ensuring effective communication and efficient campaign execution.

• Collaborate with Sales: Align on accounts strategy, campaign execution, and performance tracking; enable the AEs to engage effectively with prospects.

• Measure and optimize performance: Track, analyze, and report on campaign outcomes, continuously refining approaches for maximum impact.

You will probably love this role if:

• You enjoy combining data analytics and creative thinking to craft high-impact programs that go beyond traditional B2B marketing.

• You thrive in managing complex campaigns with many moving parts. You think holistically while keeping close attention to detail.

• You excel at building trust with cross-functional teams. As a B2B SaaS company, our sales process involves tight collaboration across all teams. You have strong interpersonal skills and can build and maintain collaborative relationships across different departments.

This role may not be for you if:

• You prefer to stick to playbooks: Success here requires a first-principles approach, crafting tailored programs for our audience.

• You aren’t able to operate with autonomy and execute strategies from end to end: as one of our company’s core operating principles, we prioritize ownership. We will provide clear ownership over a specific scope of work and trust you to own your work. You should be proactive and resourceful.
