We’re looking for a Campaign Lead who strategizes, executes and optimizes integrated marketing programs that drive lead generation, pipeline growth, product adoption and retention for the DataDirect portfolio.

• Fill the top of the funnel and nurture prospects to defined quantity and conversion targets
• Apply AI-assisted workflows with human QA and responsible-use practices across planning and optimization
• Run a diverse mix of tactics: webcasts, SEO, SEM, retargeting, content syndication, social and live events
• Partner with Sales to align processes, handoffs and feedback loops for higher win rates
• Analyze demand creation stages to identify conversion lift and pipeline opportunities
• Collaborate with Analytics to monitor performance, diagnose drop-offs and prioritize tests
• Produce clear recap summaries with insights, ROI and recommendations to iterate programs
• Measure programs at multiple levels of detail and present findings to technical and non-technical audiences
• Participate in planning and reviews with senior leaders across the business unit and marketing

Your background:

• Mid-to-senior experience in campaign management or demand generation

• Skilled in A/B testing, funnel analysis and translating data into actions
• Clear communicator who can present results and recommendations to stakeholders
• Comfortable operating independently and leading smaller projects within cross-functional teams
• Able to collaborate across European and U.S.-based teams with occasional schedule flexibility

It will be beneficial if you have:
