Demand Generation Lead
Role Overview
This senior-level role involves building and executing full-funnel demand generation strategies to drive pipeline and revenue, including planning programs across paid media, ABM, email, SEO/SEM, webinars, and social channels. The Demand Generation Lead will own the marketing technology stack, implement AI-native tools for optimization, and collaborate with Sales and Product Marketing teams to align on processes and scaling efforts. Initially hands-on in building the engine, the role will evolve to include team leadership and system development as the company grows.
Perks & Benefits
The job offers a competitive total compensation package with a base salary range of $150,000 to $220,000, plus equity and full benefits, though it is described as an on-site role in NYC, not remote. Career growth is implied through opportunities to build a team and systems from scratch, with a culture focused on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact in a high-velocity environment. Reasonable assumptions for tech roles include potential for flexible work arrangements over time, but no explicit remote or time zone details are provided.
Full Job Description

As Demand Generation Lead, you will build and run the programs that drive pipeline and revenue. Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you will own the full-funnel strategy from early awareness through qualified opportunities and be accountable for results. This is not a pure campaign execution role. You will design the strategy and roll up your sleeves to execute it. As we scale, you will build the team and systems to support it, but initially, you are building the engine yourself.
What you’ll do
Plan, execute, and optimize full-funnel demand generation programs across paid media, ABM, email nurture, SEO and SEM, webinars, partner channels, and social
Diagnose which two to three demand channels will drive efficient pipeline growth given our market position and go-to-market motion, build them from scratch, prove ROI, and scale
Own and evolve the marketing technology stack including marketing automation, CRM, ABM platforms, analytics, and paid media tools
Leverage AI-native platforms such as Clay, Qualified, and similar tools for lead enrichment, intent signal processing, content personalization, and campaign optimization
Build attribution models, pipeline forecasts, and performance dashboards to guide budget allocation and channel prioritization
Partner closely with Sales, RevOps, and Product Marketing to align on ICPs, lead scoring, SLAs, and pipeline handoff processes
Run disciplined A and B tests across creative, audiences, and channels, treating every campaign as a measurable experiment
Document and scale repeatable playbooks across segments, geographies, and buyer personas
Mentor and develop demand generation specialists and marketing operations professionals as the team grows
Who you are
6 or more years of experience in B2B demand generation, growth marketing, or integrated campaign management, including at least 2 years leading a team
Experienced building demand programs from scratch in high-velocity environments
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making high-conviction decisions with incomplete information
Experienced implementing and operationalizing AI-native marketing technologies
Think in terms of pipeline and revenue rather than surface-level metrics such as clicks or impressions
Fluent in CAC, LTV, stage conversion rates, and channel ROI
Equally comfortable presenting strategy to executives and optimizing ad copy or landing pages in detail
Clear communicator who can make performance data legible to non-technical stakeholders
Willing to challenge best practices and test assumptions with evidence
Experience marketing to enterprise buyers or marketing personas is a plus
Location
This is an on-site role based in our Union Square, NYC office, designed for builders who thrive on speed, iteration, and meaningful impact.
For this role, the expected base salary range is $150,000 to $220,000. Profound’s total compensation package is designed to be competitive and includes base salary, equity, and a full range of benefits and perks. Final compensation will depend on factors such as your experience, skills, qualifications, and fit, and will be determined during the interview process.
