Aethir is scaling category-defining AI infrastructure. We need a demand gen leader who can translate technical advantage (throughput, latency, cost/performance, reliability) into qualified pipeline among discerning B2B buyers. You'll build the engine that reaches and converts Heads of AI/ML, Infrastructure/Platform, Data & Analytics, CTO/CIO, and Procurement, as well as developers/ML engineers who influence specs. Expect a healthy mix of integrated campaigns, ABM, and high-impact events (digital + field + industry conferences).
Own pipeline targets: Build and execute quarterly demand plans mapped to revenue; forecast MQL→SQL→Opp conversions, sourced/influenced pipeline, CAC/LTV.
Run integrated campaigns: Always-on and episodic plays across paid search/social, content syndication, developer communities, partnerships, and field. Ensure narratives tie AI infra outcomes (faster inference/training, lower TCO, elastic capacity) to buyer pain.
Lead lifecycle & ops: Architect scoring/routing and SLAs with RevOps. Own nurture, recycling, and reactivation. Keep attribution clean (MT + position-based); maintain dashboards for full-funnel health.
Events (digital & IRL): Plan/run webinars, technical workshops, executive roundtables, field dinners, and major conferences (e.g., AWS re:Invent, NVIDIA GTC, KubeCon, Snowflake Summit, ODSC). Orchestrate pre/during/post motions and sourced pipeline.
ABM for enterprise & strategic accounts: 1:few and 1:many plays into top AI-active accounts; use intent signals and tailored value props by industry (e.g., gaming, media, fintech, healthcare, retail).
Partner marketing: Co-market with cloud/SI/ISV/ecosystem partners to extend reach; coordinate joint webinars, solution pages, and field activations; track partner-sourced and co-sell pipeline.
Experimentation: Hypothesis-driven tests on channels, creative, and PLG-style offers (trials, sandboxes, test credits). Scale what works; sunset what doesn't; document learnings.
Sales enablement: Equip SDRs/AEs with industry-specific talk tracks, calculators, case studies, and sequences that convert technical advantage to business impact.
Manage paid budgets and external partners (design, media, event producers, agencies) with ROI discipline.
Marketing-sourced/influenced pipeline & revenue vs. target
MQA/SQL rate from MQLs and event leads; Opportunity Creation Rate and Stage 2+ progression
PQLs / trial activations / sandbox sign-ups and conversion to meetings/opportunities (where applicable)
CAC, CAC payback, pipeline velocity, and win-rate influence
Event performance: registrants → attendees → qualified meetings set → opps → revenue; on-site demos and partner-sourced opps
ABM impact on target account penetration, engagement lift, and deal acceleration
Experiment velocity and adoption of scaled plays
Here's a tightened, more concise version—lighter on ops/KPIs, no field dinners, and softer on GTM launches—while still positioning it as a broad, Swiss-Army-Knife Director of Marketing.
