• Define and measure lifecycle marketing metrics. You will bring a data-driven approach to establish goals and ensure that we are measuring, experimenting, and improving them. You will deliver real-time reporting on customer/lifecycle campaigns, focused on key metrics such as MQLs, pipeline, free-to-paid conversion and funnel performance.

• Collaborate across the business. Work with your counterparts in Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Product, and others to align on the needs of our prospects and customers, as well as plan, design, and manage a robust data-driven approach to how we nurture them along their journey with Dovetail.

• Own the lifecycle marketing tool stack. You will identify, evaluate and implement the right tool stack in order to effectively drive customer acquisition, revenue and retention. Proactively identify gaps in process and infrastructure, propose solutions, and ultimately, improve efficiency.

• Strong lifecycle / customer marketing experience. You have experience leading lifecycle marketing programs, with deep expertise in email program management.

• Data obsessed. We expect you to geek out over data, metrics, growth hacks, and continual improvement. You are expected to have a deep, analytical understanding of the marketing funnel and levers to influence performance.

• Extensive Experience in Tech. You’ll have worked in the software or B2B technology industry for 7+ years.

• Deep experience with marketing automation tools. Deep expertise with marketing automation software and Salesforce, with a comprehensive understanding of CRM and email systems, attribution models, and lead scoring.

• You are pragmatic and flexible. Like your new teammates, you’re used to doing what’s necessary to get the job done. You’ll need to be comfortable with ambiguity, be resourceful to solve problems, and be able to adjust to shifting deadlines and project goals.

At Dovetail, we’re passionate about building and fostering an environment where every team member feels supported and valued.
