Where You’ll Work

This position is based out of our San Francisco, CA office and will be expected to work in the office in a hybrid capacity.

What You’ll Do

Reporting to the SVP of Marketing, this high-impact, hands-on leadership role is responsible for owning and scaling our global demand generation engine. You’ll lead the strategy and execution of full-funnel marketing programs that drive predictable, scalable pipeline — partnering closely with sales, product marketing, and RevOps.

You’ve done this before. You’ve taken a company from Series B or C to $100M+ in ARR, building high-performing demand engines using a mix of inbound, outbound, ABM, and lifecycle strategies. You're data-driven, revenue-obsessed, and deeply fluent in HubSpot.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the pipeline. Drive strategy, execution, and reporting across all demand channels to generate and accelerate qualified pipeline growth.

• Lead the function. Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing demand generation team.

• Full-funnel ownership. Design and optimize the entire lead funnel — from top-of-funnel acquisition through MQL to SQL handoff — to drive conversion and velocity.

• Leverage HubSpot. Architect scalable campaigns, lead scoring, nurture flows, and attribution models using HubSpot as the backbone of your demand engine.

• Partner with Sales. Align tightly with revenue leadership to define pipeline goals, campaign targeting, SLAs, and lead management workflows.

• Fuel growth. Launch multi-channel campaigns across paid media, SEO, content syndication, events, outbound motions, and ABM to meet ambitious growth targets.

• Use data to scale. Build a performance dashboard culture. Forecast, measure, and communicate program results, continuously optimizing for ROI and CAC efficiency.

• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work across product marketing, SDRs, sales ops, and product to build cohesive, conversion-optimized campaigns.

Skills and Experience:

• 8+ years in B2B SaaS demand generation, with at least 4+ years in a leadership role scaling global demand engines.

• Proven track record of driving pipeline and revenue in a high-growth SaaS company, ideally in a Series C+ stage.

• Deep experience with HubSpot (certifications a plus). You can build and scale marketing automation workflows, lead scoring models, and funnel reporting frameworks.

• Obsessed with the metrics that matter: pipeline contribution, funnel conversion, velocity, CAC, ROI, etc.

• Experience building lead engines that integrate inbound, outbound, ABM, and paid media — you know what works at different growth stages.

• Skilled in managing agencies, vendors, contractors, and internal teams to hit aggressive goals.

• Natural collaborator and communicator — comfortable presenting to executives, boards, and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Bonus: experience in the AI/ML or enterprise tech space.

Why Join Us

• You’ll be at the center of growth in one of the most exciting AI SaaS companies in the market.

• We’re backed by top VCs and on track for massive ARR growth.

• You’ll have real ownership, a collaborative executive team, and the resources to build something meaningful.

Our Story

Our founders, Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate.  As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley, they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasn’t used for enterprise products and services inside the company and left to start a new company to address this need – LILT. 

At its core, LILT has always been a machine learning company since its incorporation on March 6, 2015. At the time, machine translation didn’t meet the quality standard for enterprise translations, so LILT assembled a cutting-edge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services, LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models, believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of enterprise translation.

Benefits:

• Compensation: At market salary with the opportunity to earn on-target earnings (OTE), meaningful equity, 401(k) matching, and flexible time off plus company holidays

• Medical Benefits: Employees receive coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance, and more. In addition, LILT pays for basic life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability

• Paid parental leave is provided after 6 months.

• Monthly lifestyle benefit stipend via the Fringe platform to allow employees to customize benefits to their lifestyle
