  • Develop and run experiments across landing pages, website experiences, CTAs, and conversion paths to identify what works and scale it.
  • Use website and behavioral data to understand visitor journeys, engagement, conversion, and drop-off and turn those insights into improvements.
• SEO, AEO & GEO
  • Own SEO strategy and optimization while expanding Arango’s visibility across Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
  • Identify search topics, questions, content opportunities, and technical improvements that increase discoverability among Arango’s target audiences.
  • Partner with Product Marketing and content owners to optimize website content and structure for traditional search engines and emerging AI-powered discovery experiences.
  • Monitor search and AI discovery performance and continuously adapt as buyer discovery behaviors evolve.
• Video & Digital Creative
  • Develop and optimize Arango’s YouTube and digital video strategy across paid, organic, website, and social channels.

  • Translate positioning and campaign messaging into compelling ads, landing pages, CTAs, video, and other digital creative.
  • Create and test lightweight digital creative and video assets directly when speed matters, while directing agency resources across web, design, development, and video for higher-production work and specialized execution.
• Demand Generation & Campaigns
  • Define quarterly and annual demand goals with Sales leadership, and track ROI and campaign performance against them.
  • Drive outbound strategy and create campaign briefs, campaign-building assets, and follow-up content that align Sales and maximize lead conversion.
  • Lead digital content programs including webinars, replay programs, and podcasts, and evaluate new formats such as live streams and office hours.
  • Manage events and field programs, including conferences, AI-focused events, executive dinners, roundtables, and direct mail campaigns.
  • Plan and execute the Customer Summit to drive expansion deals.
  • Own inbound lead management, forms, and campaign tracking, and co-manage HubSpot with the Director of Growth Marketing.

  • Partner with Growth Marketing to define measurement requirements and use established analytics, attribution, and reporting to optimize digital performance.
  • Build a disciplined experimentation approach across channels, creative, web experiences, and conversion paths.
  • Continuously evaluate new channels, formats, technologies, and AI-powered tools that can improve creative velocity, digital performance, and conversion.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of progressive experience in digital, growth, or performance marketing, ideally within high-growth B2B SaaS or enterprise technology.
• Deep hands-on experience managing paid acquisition across Google and LinkedIn, with experience in YouTube and other relevant digital channels.
• Demonstrated success optimizing digital investment toward conversion, pipeline, revenue, CAC, and ROI, not simply clicks and leads.
• Strong experience across website optimization, CRO, landing pages, digital analytics, A/B testing, and digital funnel analysis.
• Strong working knowledge of SEO and emerging AEO/GEO strategies.
• Experience optimizing web-to-product journeys, free trials, interactive product experiences, self-service experiences, or other product-led digital motions.

• AI-forward, with demonstrated use of AI tools to accelerate creative development, content production, analysis, experimentation, and marketing workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in databases, data management, data platforms, AI, developer tools, or data infrastructure.
• Comfortable moving between strategy and execution — launching campaigns, improving landing pages, developing creative, analyzing performance, and directing agency resources.
• Experience marketing to technical and enterprise audiences, including developers, data engineers, architects, AI leaders, and technology executives.
