The Role

The Head of Growth & Demand Generation owns Gray Swan’s pipeline generation strategy. This is a revenue-critical leadership role responsible for building and scaling a repeatable demand engine that consistently generates high-quality, sales-accepted pipeline.

You’ll partner closely with Sales, Product, and company leadership to define our demand strategy, identify the highest-impact digital growth opportunities, and execute programs that accelerate revenue. As an early marketing leader, you’ll have the opportunity to shape both the function and the company’s long-term growth strategy.

This role includes a variable compensation component tied directly to qualified pipeline generation, aligning marketing performance with measurable business outcomes.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and scale a multi-channel demand generation engine across outbound, inbound, ABM, paid media, partnerships, content, events, and growth experiments.

  • Own quarterly and annual pipeline gen targets aligned with company revenue goals.

  • Define our targeted segmentation strategy and channel mix to maximize pipeline creation and conversion.

  • Partner closely with Sales leadership to improve lead quality, qualification, conversion rates, and overall pipeline efficiency.

  • Own marketing performance, including budget allocation, attribution, ROI, funnel conversion, and experimentation across every stage of the lead journey.

  • Collaborate with Product, GTM Operations, and executive leadership to continuously refine and develop high-converting generation campaigns to explode revenue growth.

Who You Are

  • 5+ years of experience in B2B SaaS, Cyber Security or AI Security marketing, with a strong focus on demand generation, growth marketing, or revenue marketing.

  • Proven track record of building and scaling pipeline generation programs within a high-growth startup environment.

  • Experience developing integrated demand generation strategies across inbound, outbound, ABM, paid acquisition, partnerships, and events.

  • Strong understanding of marketing analytics, attribution, funnel optimization, and performance measurement.

  • Experience with modern marketing and sales technology (we currently use HubSpot), along with a data-driven approach to experimentation and optimization.

  • Comfortable operating as both a strategic leader and a hands-on builder in a fast-moving environment.

If you don’t meet 100% of these qualifications, we still encourage you to apply. We care more about your ability to create impact than checking every box.

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are

  • Obsessed with building predictable, repeatable pipelines — not just generating marketing activity.

  • Experience using AI tools/automation as force multipliers to move faster, work smarter.

  • Highly analytical, naturally curious, and constantly testing new ideas to improve performance.

  • Comfortable owning ambitious growth goals and being measured by business outcomes.

  • Equally energized by developing strategy and rolling up your sleeves to execute.

  • Motivated by building something from the ground up and helping define the next phase of Gray Swan’s growth.

  • Ownership, high accountability - end to end campaigns

  • Self Starter
