Senior Manager, Marketing Operations — Systems and Automation

Position Overview We are seeking a Senior Manager, Marketing Operations to own the systems, workflows, documentation, and automation needed to make Marketing Operations more scalable, reliable, and AI-enabled. This role will help modernize how Marketing Ops works by improving marketing systems governance, reducing process and technical debt, and identifying practical opportunities to simplify or automate manual GTM workflows. The ideal candidate brings deep hands‑on experience with marketing automation, data quality, workflow design, and cross‑functional GTM operations.

They should be comfortable working across Marketing, Sales, Sales Ops, Web, and internal systems/data teams to improve how GTM work gets done, clarifying ownership, improving documentation, reducing manual work, and building more scalable systems. Key Responsibilities Own governance, documentation, and operational health for core marketing systems, including Marketo and adjacent GTM tools.

Partner across Marketing, Sales, Sales Ops, Web, and internal systems/data teams to clarify ownership, requirements, and handoffs for shared GTM workflows, including enrichment, routing, lifecycle processes, data quality, and CRM handoffs.

Triage systems and workflow issues, identify root causes, and coordinate resolution with the right owners. Identify high‑friction manual workflows that can be simplified, automated, or AI‑assisted, and translate those opportunities into clear requirements, owners, dependencies, risks, and success measures. Create and maintain enablement materials and documentation that help marketers, sales partners, and internal operators understand how to use systems, follow key workflows, and submit requests correctly.

Support adoption of AI‑assisted workflows across Marketing Ops, with a focus on measurable improvements in manual effort, cycle time, QA, documentation, or operational consistency. Required Experience & Skills 7+ years of experience in Marketing Operations, Marketing Systems, Revenue Operations, GTM Operations, or a related function, preferably in B2B SaaS or a complex enterprise GTM environment.

Ability to translate ambiguous business needs into clear process, system, automation, or documentation requirements.
