You’ll be responsible for driving our self-serve growth engine end-to-end: trial-to-paid conversion, lifecycle email marketing and retention, and our website's AI chatbot experience. You'll direct a shared layer of AI agents, including our Lifecycle Agent (an AI-powered lifecycle marketing automation tool) and a prospecting agent, rather than hand-building every campaign yourself. You define the strategy, journeys, and quality bar for far more lifecycle volume than one person could hand-build, and the agents are your production team. You'll still spend real time reviewing drafts and maintaining the knowledge base that powers the Lifecycle Agent, agent-led doesn't mean hands-off.

Own trial activation, onboarding, and the self-serve roadmap with Product. - Lifecycle & retention marketing: nurture, onboarding journeys, reactivation, and segmentation, powered by the Lifecycle Agent; you define the journeys and quality bar, and direct the agent's production. - Knowledge base ownership: you own the Lifecycle Agent's content/knowledge base (themes, audiences, hooks, and calls-to-action). - AI chatbot: own AI-Chat, our website's conversational AI assistant: its accuracy, its answers, and how it routes prospects to sales. - Agent governance: define what "good" looks like, audit output on a regular cadence, and stay accountable for everything that ships in your domain. - Cross-functional partnership with RevOps/Marketing Ops, Product, and Product Marketing. HOW YOU'LL BE MEASURED: - Trial-to-paid conversion rate and self-serve net-new ARR - Lifecycle-influenced retention and expansion - Quality and brand integrity of everything that ships in your domain - Experimentation velocity. Tests shipped, learnings compounded THIS OPPORTUNITY MAY BE A FIT IF YOU HAVE: - Real lifecycle marketing, email marketing, or product-led growth (PLG) experience at a SaaS company. - Genuine curiosity about AI and agent-led operations - you don't need years of experience running agents, but you should be excited to build that fluency and use it to own more of the funnel yourself. - Hands-on experience with HubSpot or a similar marketing automation/CRM platform, plus Amplitude or similar experimentation/analytics tooling. - An owner's mindset, using data to drive decision making and deliver results. - High ownership mentality: you care about outcomes, not just activity NICE TO HAVE: - Professional-services, fintech, or vertical-SaaS experience WHY JOIN US: - Global SaaS organization - category leader in revenue management from proposals to payments - We work without ego in a collaborative, open and transparent work culture - Competitive salary - Health/Dental/Vision insurance from day 1 of employment, along with RRSP matching after 3 months of employment - Employee recognition programs - Quarterly wellness allowance to spend on your wellness and what this means to you - Flexible working supported by work from office reimbursement and cell phone allowance to allow you to set yourself up to work from home - Personal tax return assistance - after all, we are in the accounting business! - 20 days accrued paid time off annually , along with 10 annual wellbeing days - An extra paid day off to celebrate your birthday, alongside paid volunteering leave COMPENSATION INFORMATION: Our salary bands are designed to reflect the range of skills and experience needed for the position and to allow room for growth.
