Responsibilities

Hi there!
We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product—a platform for digital marketers. New stars are born here, so don’t miss your chance.
This is our Global Director of Demand Generation role for those who are goal-oriented and success-oriented.
Do you have a passion for creating demand? Does the idea of partnering with sales to create shared goals and the infrastructure to set sales up for success get you out of bed in the morning? Do you have a bias for scaled account-based marketing digital campaigns vs. in-person events to drum up marketing qualified leads? If so, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for a seasoned–and crucially, hands-on leader–to help us take our Demand Generation function to the next level. Since the program began in August 2024 we have built the foundation and have reached a baseline for performance. We’re looking for a leader who can take what we’ve built, reconfigure what’s needed, and stomp their foot on the gas to bring in more highly qualified pipeline for sales to close.
You’ll report directly to the Chief Marketing Officer, who will guide you as you work daily with the Sales, IT, and Marketing Teams. . You’ll work collaboratively to agree and realize your vision to ultimately create a pipeline of opportunities for the mid-market and enterprise segments that convert to closed, won deals.

What you’ll be excited to drive every day:

  • Create a qualified pipeline of opportunities for the mid-market and enterprise sales teams to engage and successfully close.
  • Ideate the global demand strategy and be personally accountable for its execution; set up a Sales + Marketing aligned account-based marketing approach to sell into named accounts within the Enterprise segment
  • Lead virtually all outbound campaign activity in key markets and mid-market + Enterprise motions; create and launch a mix of paid/owned/earned marketing motions in collaboration with key teams in Global Marketing and across Semrush.
  • Partner with the Product Marketing Managers as Brand Marketing to ensure global campaign alignment; our Creative Agency to execute and deliver creative content that captivates and converts.
  • Ensure our systems, tools, and processes are configured to a) score the most critical MQLs and send them to sales b) reduce any ‘noise’ that the sales teams have, so they are focused on what matters most and c) report to peers and executive leadership what our current state of the demand program is on any given day.
  • Manage key markets, mid-market + enterprise acquisition channels and lead integrated marketing campaigns, including setting strategy, developing forecasts, evaluating appropriate budget levels, and measuring results.
  • Create the incremental infrastructure needed to support the pipeline of opportunity you will create—work with IT, Product, and Sales to onboard an ABM solution; partner with the sales teams to ensure lead scoring and the right stages of the funnel are in place (e.g., MQL>SQL>SAL>OPP, etc.).
