Head of Demand Generation (Senior Manager)

Overview

We’re hiring a Senior Manager of Demand Generation to own marketing-generated pipeline at Nexcess.You’ll be responsible for building and running the programs that drive qualified pipeline across a defined set of target accounts. The Director of Growth sets overall GTM direction and revenue targets — you translate that into execution: account strategy, programs, and sales alignment.This role sits at the center of Marketing and Sales. You’ll work closely with BDR leadership, AEs, and cross-functional partners to ensure we’re focused on the right accounts and converting that focus into pipeline.You’ll lead a small team (Growth Media, Events, Coordinator) and be accountable for performance — what we run, what we stop, and what we scale.

What You’ll Own

GTM Strategy & Pipeline

• Define target account segments in partnership with Growth, PMM, and Sales
• Build and maintain GTM playbooks by segment (who we target, how we reach them, and why it converts)
• Identify expansion opportunities within the existing customer base and partner with Lifecycle and Sales to act on them
• Own the marketing-generated pipeline forecast and report on performance weekly/monthly

Programs & Execution

• Design and run account-based programs across your target account list
• Partner with Growth Media and Content to align channels, messaging, and timing
• Set clear success metrics for every program and make decisions quickly to scale or stop
• Ensure campaigns are coordinated across channels, not run in isolation

Sales & BDR Partnership

• Define BDR targeting priorities (which accounts, which personas, when)
• Partner on outbound messaging and sequence strategy
• Run a regular pipeline sync with BDR leadership to review performance and adjust
• Ensure marketing efforts translate into meetings and pipeline, not just activity

Team Leadership & Alignment

• Manage and develop a team of three across media, events, and coordination
• Set clear ownership, expectations, and performance standards
• Align closely with Lifecycle, Content, Web, and Partnerships to ensure consistent execution across teams
• Act as the point person for demand generation in cross-functional planning

What Success Looks Like

• You focus on accounts and pipeline, not lead volume
• You’ve owned a pipeline number and know how to hit it
• You work closely with Sales and BDR teams and treat their success as your own
• You run programs with clear goals and make quick decisions based on performance
• You’re comfortable using imperfect data (intent, engagement, signals) to prioritize where to focus

Why This Role

• Own the number: Marketing-generated pipeline is a core business metric here, not a side KPI
• Build from scratch: You’ll define how demand generation works at Nexcess — no legacy playbook to inherit
• Sell into complex deals: You’ll build programs for technical buyers and multi-stakeholder decisions

Experience

• Experience owning a marketing-generated pipeline target
• Background in demand generation and/or account-based marketing
• Experience building GTM plays or programs that Sales teams actually use
• Strong partnership with Sales/BDR teams
• Familiarity with intent data and account prioritization (e.g., 6sense, Bombora, or similar)
• Experience managing a small team
• Ability to operate at both strategy and execution levels

KPIs

• Marketing-generated pipeline
• Target account coverage
• Account progression through the funnel
• Meetings generated from target accounts

We Offer:

• Traditional and Roth 401k with company matching
• A collaborative team culture
• Consistent/set work hours
• Challenging non-redundant daily duties
• A voice in how things get done
