Censys maps the Internet to make the digital world safer, and the Demand Generation team is how the security teams who need that intelligence find us.

You will set the annual pipeline plan with the CRO and Finance, build and lead a team of managers and senior ICs, and be accountable for marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline against a shared revenue target.

• Run lifecycle and nurture programs across the marketing database to convert, re-engage and expand prospects and customers
