About Vibes
Vibes is reinventing the messaging ecosystem. You probably get dozens of brand communications every day — most of them aren't interesting, don't make you love the brand more, or improve the service you receive. That's about to change. RCS is an exciting new messaging channel that delivers the richness of an app through the ubiquity of your phone's native messaging — no download required.
Vibes has been shaping mobile engagement since the advent of text messaging, routing billions of messages per month and guiding innovation across the industry. We hold one of only four coveted Tier-1 DCA spots for RCS — which means we're not just watching this shift happen, we're driving it. If you want to be part of a team building the next era of brand-to-consumer communication, this is the place.

About the Role
This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for a Demand Gen practitioner who wants to lead the practice for a growth stage SaaS company. Reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, you'll own strategy and execution end-to-end — from campaign architecture and pipeline targets to day-to-day program delivery. This person will be an individual contributor with autonomy to create the strategy and drive results, a direct line to senior leadership, and the opportunity to build something that matters at a company on the edge of a major market shift.
We're looking for someone who's been a standout executor and is ready to take on a larger role — someone who wants to own outcomes, not just tasks. You'll shape how Vibes goes to market, influence pipeline directly, and contribute to an exciting growth story.
What You'll Own
Strategy & Pipeline
Own quarterly and annual MQL and pipeline targets — and drive the strategy to hit them
Lead target account selection and ABM program design in close partnership with sales and marketing teammates
Maintain a continuous focus on improving pipeline conversion metrics, qualified lead volume, and account targeting effectiveness
Track and report on program performance, making data-driven recommendations to the VP of Marketing and broader leadership team
Stay current on Demand Gen trends in an AI-first, agent-led world and translate insights into actionable adjustments for Vibes
Campaign Execution
Serve as the hands-on owner of marketing campaign execution across paid advertising (Google, LinkedIn), email, SEO/SEM, webinars, and content syndication
Build and manage automated nurture programs and one-off campaigns in HubSpot, including writing the emails yourself
Launch campaigns, landing pages, and new resources on the Vibes website; learn and use Webflow for hands-on website management as part of a small, nimble team
Lead relationships with external consultants supporting SEM, SEO, and content syndication
Collaboration & Stakeholder Management
Partner closely with sales AEs on demand generation strategies, target account selection, and daily execution
Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders, external partners, and agency vendors
Represent demand gen in cross-functional planning conversations with clear data and well-reasoned points of view
What You Bring
6–10 years of hands-on, strategic & tactical demand generation experience — 4+ years in B2B required, B2B SaaS experience strongly preferred
Demonstrated ownership of MQL and pipeline targets, with a track record of building and optimizing programs inside a marketing automation platform (HubSpot strongly preferred; Marketo or Pardot also relevant)
Hands-on experience managing paid media campaigns across Google Ads and LinkedIn, including budget management and performance optimization
Data fluency: you're comfortable in dashboards, can build a performance report, and make decisions from metrics — not gut alone
