Website Strategy & Performance

• Provide strategic leadership to the Head of Website Strategy and their team, who manage development and roadmap for BHN.com and Tango.com
• Set the strategic direction for web as a demand generation channel — ensuring the sites are optimized for conversion, SEO/AEO performance, visitor engagement, and pipeline contribution across both Enterprise and Direct Sales motions
• Hold the team accountable to web KPIs including organic traffic, engagement, conversion rates, and pipeline sourced from web
• Manage relationships with SEO and AEO agencies, working with Strategic Marketing and content teams to improve performance

Digital Marketing & Paid Media

• Lead the Head of Digital Marketing and their team, who manage paid search, LinkedIn campaigns, agency relationships, organic social (LinkedIn), and online reputation (Trustpilot, G2)
• Set performance standards and investment priorities across paid channels; ensure agency oversight is rigorous and ROI-accountable
• Drive LinkedIn strategy across both paid campaigns and organic presence, with increasing sophistication in ABM targeting and audience segmentation
• Own online reputation strategy across review platforms, ensuring BHN and Tango maintain strong presence in channels that influence buyer consideration
• Identify opportunities to leverage new tools and data platforms to improve targeting, expand audiences, and optimize performance

Analytics, Reporting & Optimization

• Define and own the demand generation KPI framework: Direct Sales new revenue (inbound), Enterprise pipeline sourced and influenced, channel ROAS, CPL, and funnel conversion rates
• Partner with the Head of Marketing Data & Operations on attribution, funnel reporting, and MTA to ensure demand gen performance is accurately measured and credibly reported to leadership
• Synthesize campaign performance, pipeline contribution, and channel insights into clear, executive-ready narratives for sales leadership and cross-functional stakeholders — connecting marketing activity to revenue outcomes in language that resonates with sales
• Drive a culture of testing and continuous optimization across channels, campaigns, and web experience

• 12+ years of B2B demand generation experience, with at least 3+ years in a senior leadership role managing multiple teams
• Demonstrated success driving results across both Enterprise/mid-market (ABM, upper-funnel LinkedIn, intent-driven programs) and SMB/Direct (inbound acquisition, paid search, conversion optimization) motions
• Strong command of paid media strategy — search, LinkedIn, programmatic — including agency management and performance accountability
• Experience with ABM platforms and intent data tools (6sense, Factors.ai, Bombora, or equivalents)
• Deep familiarity with web as a demand gen channel — SEO/AEO, CRO, and pipeline contribution from organic and direct traffic
• Proficiency with HubSpot and Salesforce for pipeline reporting, campaign attribution, and funnel analysis
• Analytically rigorous with the ability to connect campaign activity to revenue outcomes and present credibly to executive leadership
• Exceptional communicator with the ability to synthesize complex performance data into clear, compelling narratives for sales leadership and executive audiences — translating marketing metrics into revenue impact and business context
• Strong cross-functional collaborator — comfortable working alongside sales, RevOps, Finance, and peer marketing leaders
