Staffbase is seeking a Growth Marketing Lead to own and scale our marketing-led pipeline strategy and execution. In this role, you will evolve a high-performing acquisition engine that drives predictable, high-quality pipeline across digital, ABM, and field amplification channels. You’ll partner closely with Sales to ensure tight full-funnel alignment - from awareness to SQL creation and opportunity progression.
This is a player-coach leadership role. You will set demand strategy for Global Markets (Americas, UKIMEA, APAC), work with regional leaders to ensure market alignment, and stay close to execution — directly managing agency relationships while personally driving key programs and experimentation.
The ideal candidate
- Has successfully scaled integrated demand programs in a fast-growing B2B SaaS or AI-native technology company.
- Is comfortable owning pipeline outcomes and building systems that create durable, repeatable growth.
- Is a strategic thinker, but is happy to roll up their sleeves and dive into execution.
- This role offers the autonomy of a builder environment with close collaboration with colleagues.
What you’ll be doing
Growth Strategy & Channel Leadership
- Own and execute the demand generation strategy across paid media, content, and ABM to drive awareness, lead generation, and measurable pipeline growth aligned with business goals.
- Develop and operationalize the marketing funnel: Establish clear goals, performance metrics, and reporting across lead and opportunity stages.
- Determine how acquisition investments are allocated across channels to maximize pipeline and long-term business impact.
- Build and scale ABX programs that deliver highly personalized engagement for target accounts and drive sales adoption of the ABX motion as a unified pipeline engine.
- Design and optimize content frameworks aligned to the buyer journey — ads, landing pages, nurture streams.
- Directly manage and develop one or two marketers and/or agency partners, coaching and directing while staying personally close to execution.
- Act as a strategic advisor to business leaders: bring a clear point of view, own your outcomes, and build a program that compounds over time.
- Be the core regional voice that sets priorities for centrally reporting inbound engine teams — including web, AIO/SEO, and product marketing.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Data, Analytics & Experimentation
- Implement attribution and reporting frameworks that show what's actually driving pipeline, across both performance and ABM channels.
- Improve conversion rates across the entire marketing funnel, diagnosing performance shifts and uncovering the underlying drivers behind success or decline.
- Run a structured testing program — channels, creative, targeting, messaging — and use the results to reallocate spend, not just report on it.
- Evaluate emerging channels, platforms, and acquisition opportunities and determine where we should invest next.
- Partner with Marketing Ops to keep dashboards and pipeline metrics honest and current.
What you need to be successful
Skills + Experience

- Experience with Clay, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Google Ads, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.
- Experience working across multiple regions or markets.
- Prior experience managing teams and/or agency relationships.
- Familiarity with AI tools for campaign automation, content creation, and workflow.
Who You Are
- A builder and an operator: you understand channels, creative, and growth economics, and you turn insight into results, not just decks.
- A player-coach: comfortable managing one or two marketers and/or an agency while personally running the programs that matter most.
- AI-fluent by default: you combine human judgment and strategic thinking with AI-powered execution as a core part of how you work, not a bolt-on.
- A direction setter: you form a point of view and drive alignment; you don't wait to be told what to do.
- Comfortable owning pipeline outcomes: durable, repeatable growth, not one-quarter wins.
- Energized by the autonomy of a builder environment, balanced with close collaboration across sales and central marketing.
