Director of Marketing - ABM Growth

You know how to build pipeline in enterprise B2B and you have done it with a lean team, great content, and modern AI tooling. You can write the strategy and ship the campaign. This role is both.

About Thematic

Thematic delivers what CX teams were promised: a single, trusted source of customer intelligence. Most are still stuck maintaining static taxonomies that decay the moment customer language shifts, or stitching together ad hoc AI summaries that sound confident but cannot be traced back to evidence.

We replace that with a continuously updating source of customer truth. Bottom-up AI discovery adapts as customers change, with every insight traceable to the raw feedback behind it.

We work with brands like DoorDash, Albertsons, Snap, and LendingTree across retail, finance, and technology — teams using Thematic to reduce churn, improve NPS, and make customer intelligence something the whole business relies on. Fully remote, 25+ people, with a customer-facing team in the US and R&D in New Zealand, backed by YCombinator and AirTree, and profitable.

The Role

This is Thematic's first dedicated US marketing leader, and it is a leadership role from day one. You will report to the CEO and initially manage a small team: a US-based events manager, a designer and website specialist and a content writer. You will own pipeline generation globally, working closely with sales on account-based plays.

This is a growth role with the main focus on Account Based Marketing, and building pipeline. Everything else (content, events, website) exists to support that motion. It's a player-coach role. We need someone who can set the strategy and roll up their sleeves. You will be expected to use AI tools to move fast and coach your team to do the same.

The right person knows how to run disciplined account-based programs in the enterprise market, is comfortable owning pipeline targets, and is ready to build something from the ground up.

What You Will Own

Pipeline generation

•   Design and run ABM programs targeting VP/Head of CX, Insights, and VoC at US enterprises with $1B+ in revenue

•   Build personalized, account-based outreach sequences that complement and amplify the sales team, anchored in the content we create and the events we organize

•   Own qualified pipeline targets, not just activity metrics

Content and GEO strategy

•   Define and own the content strategy, grounded in data and built to be measurable against pipeline using existing tools

•   Make sure we produce assets that serve both the buyer journey (ABM) and Generative Engine Optimization, so Thematic surfaces when buyers ask AI systems about enterprise VoC or customer intelligence

•   Ensure website copy leads with buyer outcomes and stays current as positioning evolves

You will manage the events manager who owns the strategy and execution of the events. You will work closely with them on which audiences to target, how events connect to ABM plays, and what follow-up looks like.

What We Are Looking For

Must-haves

•   5 to 10 years in B2B SaaS marketing, >3 years focused on enterprise pipeline generation

•   Executive-quality presentation skills; you will present to the CEO and enterprise buyers

•   Strong grasp of the US enterprise buying landscape and how decisions actually get made

•   Experience managing a small team and coordinating across functions

•   Background in a fast-growing, scaling orgs; comfortable with ambiguity and owning decisions
