You’ll operate within longer, multi-stakeholder mid-market and enterprise sales cycles and know how to influence pipeline through ABM, intent-driven targeting, events, and thought-leadership programs. You are AI-first. You actively build agentic workflows, use enrichment tools like Clay to scale personalization, and look for every opportunity to automate and accelerate marketing execution. You bring a strong command of funnel math, conversion rates, and leading indicators, even in long-cycle environments where patience and precision both matter. Key ResponsibilitiesPipeline Ownership & Demand Generation - Own the marketing-sourced pipeline target for RethinkEd, with direct impact on pipeline creation and marketing’s contribution to bookings. - Develop and execute the demand generation strategy across the full K-12 buyer journey, from awareness and engagement through pipeline creation. - Build and run ABM and intent-based playbooks using 6sense to identify and engage high-fit, in-market accounts at scale. - Design and execute multi-touch campaign sequences spanning paid media, email nurture, webinars, events, and thought-leadership content to build pipeline within longer sales cycles tied to annual district budget and procurement cycles. - Manage budget allocation and pacing across channels to ensure consistent pipeline flow, cost efficiency, and alignment with quarterly and annual revenue targets. Playbook Development & Execution - Develop repeatable, scalable playbooks for ABM, intent-based targeting, events, third-party conferences, and thought-leadership campaigns tailored to K-12 buying committees. - Use ZoomInfo/Clay for enrichment, sequencing, and personalization at scale, building automated workflows that keep outbound and nurture motions running efficiently. - Partner with content and creative teams to develop campaign assets, including whitepapers, case studies, webinar programs, and thought-leadership content that resonate with K-12 education personas and buying committees. - Own the lead nurture strategy: design, test, and optimize automated sequences that accelerate progression through the funnel and re-engage stalled opportunities. Partner Marketing & Channel Growth - Develop and execute partner marketing strategies to drive adoption and deeper penetration within key RethinkEd channel partners and strategic accounts. - Build co-marketing campaigns, enablement materials, and joint demand programs with partners to expand reach and accelerate pipeline through the partner channel. - Track and report on partner engagement metrics including activation rates, utilization, and expansion to identify growth opportunities and optimize partner marketing investments. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Collaborate with internal shared services like performance marketing, content, creative, web, analysis, and operations to ensure campaigns are executed with quality and speed. - Work with external agency partners (paid media, SEO/AEO) as a key stakeholder, providing strategic direction, reviewing performance, and iterating on targeting and creative. - Partner with Sales to define and refine lead handoff criteria, lead scoring, and routing logic specific to the K-12 district sales motion. - Establish structured feedback loops with Sales to continuously improve lead quality, targeting precision, and campaign effectiveness. - Collaborate on speed-to-lead response SLAs and ensure marketing-sourced leads are followed up on within agreed timelines. Performance Analytics & Funnel Optimization - Track and optimize full-funnel metrics (MQL → SAL → SQL → Pipeline → ARR) with a strong grasp of conversion rates, velocity, and leading indicators across K-12 district deal cycles. - Go beyond dashboards: interpret data to surface actionable insights, diagnose underperformance, and build concrete action plans to close funnel gaps. - Partner with Marketing Analytics and Operations team to ensure accurate attribution, clean data, and reliable reporting that supports investment decisions. - Forecast and report on pipeline health, campaign ROI, and marketing’s contribution to revenue. - Design and run data-driven experiments to improve conversion, deal velocity, and efficiency across the K-12 district buyer journey.

About Us At RethinkFirst, we are on a mission to inspire and empower educators, behavioral health, and employers with solutions that address some of the biggest challenges today – employee burnout, student mental health, behavioral issues, and the need for effective interventions. We are seeking a talented content writer with a passion for education and experience in EdTech, Behavioral Health, or Benefits Administration to help us create engaging and impactful content. Role Overview We're looking for a Senior Manager of Performance Marketing to own paid media strategy and execution across three lines of business (RethinkBH, RethinkCare, RethinkEd) each serving distinct buyer segments and operating at materially different sales velocities. This role is the connective tissue between our paid channels and pipeline outcomes. You'll manage our paid media agencies as the day-to-day strategic owner: setting direction, driving accountability, and translating business goals into channel-level programs that perform. You'll work in close partnership with our BU-aligned Demand Generation Managers to ensure paid investment is synchronized with segment strategy, account priorities, and pipeline targets across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise motions. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who can architect a 6sense ABM audience in the morning and present pipeline attribution to leadership in the afternoon — and who thrives in a multi-product environment where no two campaigns are structured the same way. What You'll Own: Paid Media Strategy & Agency Management - Serve as the primary point of contact and strategic owner for our paid media agency — setting priorities, reviewing plans, holding the agency accountable to performance, and escalating issues or opportunities to marketing leadership - Own channel strategy across Google Ads (Search, Display, YouTube), LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and other relevant B2B paid channels - Manage budget pacing and allocation across BUs and segments with clear visibility into CPL, MQL cost, pipeline ROI, ROAS, and CAC contribution - Drive agency execution with the rigor of an in-house team — clear briefs, structured QBRs, documented feedback loops, and a bias toward pipeline outcomes over vanity metrics ABM & Intent Audience Architecture - Partner with BU Demand Gen Managers to design and activate 1:1, 1:few, and 1:many ABM plays aligned to account tiering and sales priorities across three business lines - Build and manage intent-based audience segments in 6sense (or equivalent), translating behavioral signals, keyword intent, and CRM stage data into actionable targeting - Validate lift from intent-activated audiences against pipeline metrics and refine segmentation logic based on results - Adapt campaign structure and messaging to accommodate both high-velocity SMB/transactional cycles and 12+ month enterprise sales motions within the same channel framework Multi-Segment Campaign Execution - Build and manage campaigns simultaneously optimized for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise audiences, each with distinct personas, value propositions, and conversion paths - Work with Demand Gen Managers to align channel mix and budget emphasis to the velocity and deal size profile of each BU - Ensure creative briefs and ad messaging are calibrated by segment, from transactional to complex multi-stakeholder enterprise buying committees Conversion Infrastructure & Attribution - Partner with Marketing Operations to maintain airtight conversion tracking: GCLID mapping, offline conversion imports to Google, UTM governance, and HubSpot/Salesforce lead source integrity - Own the feedback loop between CRM stage progression and paid channel bidding — ensuring smart bidding algorithms are fed the right conversion signals - Flag attribution gaps or conversion data quality issues proactively and drive resolution with MarOps - Implement robust tagging and attribution including server-side GTM containers, first-party data collection, and event schema design to combat ITP/ad blocker/cookie signal loss with the assistance of agency partner - Setup, maintenance, and compliance of enhanced conversions and consent mode v2 across all tag firing in cookieless/consent-restricted environments Performance Reporting & Optimization - Own paid media reporting across all channels, delivering clear visibility into channel-level and BU-level performance in weekly demand gen syncs and pipeline reviews - Run structured experiments on creative, audiences, bidding strategies, and landing page variants with documented learnings and clear test-and-scale methodology - Proactively identify budget reallocation opportunities based on pipeline contribution, CAC payback trends, and channel efficiency signals What We're Looking For Required - 8–10 years of B2B performance marketing experience, with at least 3 years in a SaaS environment - Demonstrated hands-on expertise in Google Ads (Search, Display, YouTube) and LinkedIn Campaign Manager with the ability to build, audit, and optimize campaigns independently - Proven track record running paid programs across multiple buyer segments (SMB, mid-market, enterprise) with materially different conversion paths and deal velocities - Direct ABM platform experience (6sense or equivalent) - Fluency with intent signal activation: translating in-market signals into audience uploads, campaign segmentation, and bid strategy adjustments - Strong attribution fundamentals with experience in GCLID mapping, offline conversion imports, UTM governance, and CRM-integrated lead source reporting - Experience managing or directing an external paid media agency including setting strategy, running reviews, and holding partners accountable to results - Proficiency with HubSpot and/or Salesforce for pipeline reporting and multi-touch attribution - Comfortable presenting performance data and strategic recommendations to management Preferred - Experience marketing across products with significantly different sales velocities e.g., a high-velocity SMB motion running in parallel with a 12+ month enterprise cycle - Familiarity with behavioral health, HR tech, or education technology verticals - Working knowledge of consent mode v2, enhanced conversions, and privacy-safe measurement practices - Experience with LinkedIn Matched Audiences, account list uploads, and persona-layered targeting at scale - Exposure to multi-product or multi-BU marketing environments where budget allocation and attribution require careful segmentation How You'll Partner This is a cross-functional role by design. You'll have a defined set of working relationships that are essential to success: - BU Demand Gen Managers (RethinkBH, RethinkCare, RethinkEd): weekly alignment on account priorities, campaign briefs, and pipeline performance; shared ownership of paid contribution to BU pipeline goals - VP, Marketing Analytics & Operations (direct manager): strategic planning, budget decisions, and executive reporting - Paid Media Agency: primary point of contact; responsible for driving direction, accountability, and results through the agency relationship - Marketing Analyst and Operations: conversion tracking integrity, CRM attribution, UTM governance, audience list management, KPIs, and reporting - Content & Brand: creative briefs, ad copy alignment, and persona-specific messaging by segment - Sales Leadership: account prioritization input, ABM list validation, and lead quality feedback loop What Success Looks Like in Year One - Paid channels are fully instrumented: conversion tracking validated, offline conversion loop closed, attribution reliable across all three BUs - Agency relationship is operating with clear SLAs, structured performance reviews, and documented accountability for pipeline contribution - Intent audiences are live and actively driving account engagement across at least two BUs, with measurable impact on pipeline velocity for target account lists - A performance marketing playbook exists for each segment (SMB, MM, ENT) covering channel mix, bid strategy, creative cadence, and budget allocation logic - Paid channel performance is a standing agenda item in demand gen reviews, with clear metrics tracked and acted on regularly Benefits: - Generous health, dental, & vision benefits package - Flexible paid time off - 11 paid company holidays - 401k + matching - Parental leave - Access to our award-winning RethinkCare platform supporting neurodiversity in the workplace through parental success, professional resilience, and personal wellbeing Location: Remote opportunities are available to candidates who reside in the following states: AL, AZ, CT, FL, GA, HI, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MD, MA, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NV, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI, WY Our commitment to an inclusive workplace RethinkFirst is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing a workplace free from harassment and discrimination.
