Who You Are
You’re a purpose-driven marketing leader who believes company mission matters — and Ontic’s mission to help keep people safe deeply resonates with you. You’re motivated by impact, knowing that behind every campaign and program is a bigger goal: enabling organizations to protect their people and companies.

You’re also a builder and a collaborator — the kind of leader who works shoulder-to-shoulder with Sales to drive pipeline growth. You understand the challenges of building territories and closing business, and you help your team bring the same empathy and partnership mindset to every engagement.

You operate comfortably at both the strategic and detailed levels. You stay close enough to understand the details but give your team the space to own their work. You set a clear vision, ask smart questions, and know when to dive in and when to step back. You empower your team to own their work — coaching them to grow, challenging them to think bigger, and celebrating their wins. Developing people is one of the most fulfilling parts of your job, and you make time for it.

You believe in the power of community and trust. Ontic’s reputation has been built through word of mouth — by earning credibility, not buying it — and you’re energized by the challenge of scaling that trust through creative, measurable programs that blend digital precision with human connection.

You lead with clarity and curiosity, building a marketing organization that experiments boldly, learns fast, and always keeps its focus on one thing: creating pipeline that drives growth.

The Fundamentals

• Develop and execute a comprehensive revenue marketing strategy that aligns demand generation, field marketing, and events to Ontic’s pipeline and growth objectives.

• Manage the integrated brand and corporate communications function, overseeing PR, social media, and content strategy to grow Ontic’s strong market position in the industry.

• Lead, grow, and mentor a multidisciplinary marketing team with clear performance metrics tied to pipeline creation, acceleration, and conversion.

• Manage and optimize the revenue marketing budget and technology stack to maximize efficiency, measurement, and ROI.

• Monitor and report on marketing-sourced and influenced pipeline, making data-driven recommendations for improvement.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Build a culture of ownership and empowerment — you develop people, not just programs.

• Lead through clarity and curiosity: set direction, remove barriers, and coach your team to grow.

• Foster a collaborative relationship with Sales, helping both teams operate as one unified pipeline engine.

• Model the Ontic Marketing ethos of “Marketing leads the way” — being early adopters, trying new things, and showing what great looks like across channels and experiences.

• Invest in your team’s growth: recruit exceptional talent, provide ongoing coaching, and celebrate achievement.

• Maintain high standards for creativity, data discipline, and executional excellence while encouraging experimentation and learning.

What Makes This Role Different

• Trust as your growth engine: Ontic has earned remarkable word-of-mouth in the market — people trust us. This role is about turning that credibility into a repeatable, scalable advantage that fuels awareness and pipeline growth.

• Human connection meets digital precision: You’ll build programs that blend the authenticity of real relationships with the reach and efficiency of digital, data-driven marketing.

• Creativity with discipline: You’ll create high-ROI frameworks that allow for experimentation, learning, and iteration — ensuring the team stays both inventive and accountable.

• Mission at the center: You’ll help a marketing organization mature into a high-performing, data-driven growth engine without losing its connection to Ontic’s mission — helping to keep people safe.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of progressive experience in B2B marketing with a focus on pipeline generation; 6+ years in a senior leadership role.

• Proven success leading integrated revenue marketing functions across demand generation, field, and events in a growth-stage SaaS environment.

• Experience marketing to large enterprises or regulated industries (security, compliance, government, etc.) is preferred.

• Strong command of modern marketing tech stack: marketing automation, ABM platforms, CRM, analytics, and personalization tools.

• Expert-level understanding of campaign measurement, pipeline attribution, and ROI modeling.

• Demonstrated ability to lead and scale high-performing, cross-functional marketing teams.

• Excellent communicator and strategic partner to sales, product, and executive leadership.

• Embracing AI and automation to improve marketing performance, accelerate testing, and scale impact.
