Job Description

A Demand Generation Marketer within the Marketing team at Octopus is responsible for raising awareness of the Octopus brand and creating demand that will lead to the acquisition and expansion of new and existing commercial and enterprise customers.

This is a new role at Octopus. Marketers at Octopus have always contributed to demand generation, but we have never had a role dedicated to it.

You will own the programs and campaigns that forms the distribution engine around our DevOps and Continuous Delivery themes and sub-themes such as Kubernetes deployments, DevEx, and CI is not CD.

You will be responsible for generating demand that converts to leads, opportunities, and revenue.

You’ll take ownership of the early phase of our customer journey in attracting and converting our audience through our web and digital channels.

You’ll focus on creating demand that goes on to generate leads that make a difference to our bottom line - we want to generate quality leads who are in-market for deployment and CD tools, rather than generate thousands of tire-kicker leads that end up going nowhere.

You’ll be obsessed with our customers and what makes them tick and engage them with content and campaigns that makes Octopus seem like a no-brainer decision for them.

Your remit will be global, but you will also work closely with Revenue teams at a regional level to support demand gen across their accounts and target industries.

You will develop high-impact B2B demand generation programs to meet pipeline and revenue goals.
Ensure the demand generation engine feeds lead generation to meet targets such as new business inquiries, marketing qualified leads (MQLs), sales qualified leads (SQLs), conversion rates, and cost per acquisition.
You will work with cross-functional teams including product marketing, partner marketing, and content marketing to identify and leverage buyer journey assets, messaging, and content in demand gen campaigns.
Align with Sales Development teams for top-of-funnel inbound and outbound programs.
Plan and maintain a campaign calendar aligned with other marketing stakeholders and teams.
You will have a close relationship with our Revenue teams and understand how demand generation plays an integral part in lead generation and downstream sales opportunities.
You work closely with our Product teams to understand the value Octopus delivers, what new roadmap items are on the horizon, and how these translate into demand gen activities before, during, and after launch.
Help position Octopus as the market leader in Continuous Delivery - we want to be in the consideration set of all DevOps teams when they are considering tooling.
Have a deep understanding of our target market, audience segmentation strategies, and buyer journey mapping.
Communicate and coordinate plans with other stakeholders and document plans for visibility across the organization.
Plan, maintain, and optimize campaigns throughout the year in line with Product Marketing and Revenue team plans and objectives.
You will present demand generation plans to stakeholders and document work for visibility across the organization.
