Job Description The Director, Digital Demand Generation is a senior leader within the Digital Marketing Center of Excellence, accountable for defining and governing BD’s global demand generation capability. The role sets the worldwide strategy and operating model for lead capture, scoring, routing, nurturing, and sales qualification – orchestrating consistent execution across all Businesses and Regions while maintaining the flexibility required to accommodate local market realities. Reporting to the VP, Global Head of Digital Marketing, this leader is BD’s global authority on digital demand management. They design and govern the end-to-end Lead Lifecycle Framework – from initial capture through to sales acceptance and performance feedback loops – anchored in automation, AI, and standardized processes. The role drives measurable improvements in response times, conversion rates, pipeline velocity, and cost-to-serve, directly impacting revenue growth and customer experience across the enterprise.

By harmonizing process and elevating platform usage across Marketo, Salesforce, and adjacent martech, the role accelerates opportunity creation and elevates the buyer experience at scale. This is a role that demands equal parts strategic authority and organizational influence.

Own global KPI and benchmark definitions for the full demand funnel, including time-to-first-touch, pick-up SLAs, SAL/SQL conversion, and recycle performance, ensuring enterprise-wide visibility through dashboards tied to commercial outcomes. Define investment priorities for demand generation capabilities and make the case for resourcing to senior leadership. 2. Lead Lifecycle Design & Performance Architect and continuously evolve BD’s Lead Lifecycle Framework – encompassing scoring models, routing logic, persona-based nurture programs, and qualification and acceptance criteria – ensuring it is fit for purpose across diverse business models and markets.
