For enterprise, you’ll drive pipeline through ABM motions and targeted digital acquisition. This is a collaborative, hands-on leadership role where you’ll partner with Product, Engineering, Data, and GTM to build, test, launch, and optimize the funnel.

In this role you will own:

Performance Strategy

• Set strategy around channel mix, activation loops, audience targeting, and scaling budget.
• Prioritize opportunities based on retention, efficiency, and path to profitable growth.

Performance Marketing

• Lead paid and performance channels from hypothesis to execution.
• Build and iterate A/B test frameworks, campaign planning, targeting strategy, creative testing, and channel optimization.
• Own measurement of CAC, ROI, payback performance, and confidence-building around ROAS/payback models for scaled spend.

Website Performance and Optimization

• Own Warp’s web surfaces – homepage, landing pages, product pages, etc – to improve discoverability and conversion.

Martech and AI Optimization

• Manage and optimize core platforms, including Customer.io, HubSpot, Framer, etc to improve personalization, predictive targeting, and performance.
• Maintain clean taxonomy, triggers, and automation infrastructure that supports agent-first delivery, segmentation, and product signal capture.

Analytics & Reporting

• Maintain dashboards covering the full funnel (awareness, activation, upgrades, etc)
• Surface experiment insights, channel retention, funnel health, and cost efficiency findings to the team.
• Lead forecasting, pacing, and execution readouts for both self-serve and enterprise.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in growth roles: performance marketing, demand generation marketing, ideally spanning across consumer/developer and enterprise.
• Proven success managing self serve and enterprise acquisition, activation, and monetization.
• Strong analytical skills: with deep experience in segmentation, attribution, cohort analysis, funnel modeling and experimentation frameworks.
• Proven track record improving conversion and activation on large-audience web properties.
• Hands-on experience setting up tracking, events, and lifecycle/CRM systems for precise funnel measurement.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into compelling messages for developers.
• You are willing to roll up your sleeves to do all things necessary to make an early-stage startup successful.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with the developer ecosystem, developer personas, and developer-centric messaging.
• You have a passion for learning more about the terminal and developer tools.
