About the Role
This role owns the operational foundation for Pendo's Marketing organization, focusing on process design, planning cycles, and strategic partnership with Marketing leadership. You will be deeply embedded in the Marketing org, identifying opportunities for process, data, or AI to drive better outcomes. You will also serve as the Marketing pod lead, coordinating efforts across Applied AI, Business Systems, and Data.
Responsibilities
- Own core Marketing operational work: campaign operations governance, pipeline modeling, and process architecture.
- Own the MOps process layer, including lead processing logic, lead source and source detail hierarchy, audience and nurture processors, demand processing workflows, and campaign naming and governance standards.
- Design and improve the full campaign-to-pipeline workflow, from lead creation and routing through SLA governance and MQL processing.
- Partner with Analytics to translate data into clear, actionable recommendations for Marketing leadership.
- Decompose how work actually gets done within the Marketing org, mapping the full activity chain behind a campaign or content workflow to identify process gaps impacting pipeline.
- Define data quality and lead flow standards, surface issues, and collaborate with Business Systems to resolve them upstream.
- Act as the Marketing pod lead, coordinating between Marketing and Business Operations functions (Applied AI, Data Platform, Systems).
- Identify automatable microtasks in Marketing workflows and define an AI vision for agent-assisted solutions, specifying human-in-the-loop checkpoints for judgment, brand, and external-facing decisions.
- Contribute to org-wide GTM Ops initiatives.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in Revenue Operations, Marketing Operations, or GTM Operations within a B2B SaaS environment.
- 2+ years of Marketing Ops experience is ideal.
- Deep familiarity with demand gen motions, including pipeline attribution, lead scoring, funnel conversion, and daily Marketing program operations.
- Hands-on MOps experience owning lead processing logic, nurture programs, source/source detail hierarchies, and demand processing workflows.
- Proven ability to own and improve core ops work such as campaign operations and process architecture with limited oversight.
- Workflow thinking: ability to decompose marketing work, map it to underlying systems, and identify opportunities for process redesign.
- Comfortable using BI tools and building reporting that drives decisions.
- Salesforce and MAP proficiency, with experience in Marketo, HubSpot, Pardot, Customer.io, or similar at a process level.
- Ability to identify where AI or automation can improve a process, articulate this to technical partners, and define human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with Business Systems, Data, and Applied AI teams, defining requirements, holding partners accountable, and driving adoption without direct authority.
- Exposure to AI and automation tooling such as Claude, n8n, or Lovable.
