About the Role
Fulcrum is seeking its founding Demand Generation hire to establish the pipeline engine from scratch. This role will own the top-of-funnel for both mid-market and enterprise segments, encompassing outbound campaigns, paid channels, and programs that supply the AE team with a consistent flow of qualified pipeline. It's a 0→1 builder position with the opportunity to influence the entire Go-To-Market strategy. The role involves close collaboration with RevOps on lead definitions, handoffs, and marketing operations fundamentals, and with Sales on messaging and targeting, to shape how the insurance industry learns about AI-powered software.
Responsibilities
- Build and run outbound demand gen campaigns (email, LinkedIn, ABM) targeting commercial insurance brokerages
- Manage paid channels (LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads/SEM, industry-specific placements) and own CAC and pipeline-contribution metrics
- Own SEO strategy (technical, on-page, content/link) to build compounding organic pipeline
- Monitor and optimize for AEO (answer engine optimization) in AI-driven research tools
- Build a gated content program (white papers, guides, benchmark reports) to convert traffic into MQLs and feed nurture sequences
- Run webinar programs that directly support AE pipeline targets
- Define and instrument the MQL → SQL → S2 funnel in partnership with RevOps
- Partner with Sales leadership on ICP, messaging, and campaign feedback loops
- Partner with RevOps to establish marketing ops fundamentals — attribution, lead scoring, marketing automation/CRM integration — as the function scales
- Report pipeline contribution and ROI directly to leadership
Requirements
- An extreme level of autonomy and ownership
- Strong analytical rigor; own funnel metrics and CAC/ROI reporting without hand-holding
- A builder mentality across a wide channel mix (outbound, paid, SEO, content)
- Comfortable as a hands-on IC with no team to delegate to initially
- 7+ years in B2B demand generation, ideally B2B SaaS
- Track record building outbound and paid pipeline-gen programs from zero
- Working knowledge of SEM/paid search platforms (Google Ads) and SEO fundamentals (technical + content)
- Experience partnering directly with Sales/RevOps on lead handoff and SLAs
- ABM experience across both MM and ENT segments
- Experience running content-to-lead programs (gating strategy, nurture sequencing, lead scoring tie-in)
- Early experience with AEO/GEO practices, or demonstrated curiosity about AI-driven search
- Bonus: Insurance, insurtech, or vertical SaaS experience with complex, multi-stakeholder buyers
- Bonus: Early-stage (Series A/B) experience building a marketing function from scratch
- Bonus: Familiarity with marketing automation/lead scoring (HubSpot, Marketo, or similar) and Salesforce
