VP, Demand Generation

Build and run the ABM motion for strategic and named enterprise accounts — account selection and tiering, buying-group mapping, orchestration, and creative built for a specific account.

Pair ABM programs with matched sales development coverage so account engagement is followed by a human within the window it matters.

Apply intent, engagement, and firmographic signal to prioritize where the team spends its time and where Sales spends theirs.

Measure ABM on account progression and opportunity creation , using the metrics Sales recognizes.

Lead inbound and outbound sales development globally , including coverage models, capacity planning, territory alignment, and quota setting in partnership with Sales and Finance.

Own speed to lead and qualification standards jointly with Sales leadership , including a shared definition of a qualified opportunity.

Keep campaign messaging and outbound sequences in lockstep so what a buyer reads and what a rep says are the same argument.

Make sales development a talent pipeline for Five9 , with a development path into sales, marketing, and customer-facing roles.

Own partner marketing across the ecosystem — resellers, distributors, systems integrators, and technology alliances — in partnership with the Partner organization and the leaders who run it.

Build co-marketing programs that produce partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline , managing MDF and joint investment with discipline.

Drive expansion demand into the installed base , in partnership with Sales, Customer Success, and Product Marketing.

Build the advocacy and reference engine — customer stories, references, speakers, and communities that carry more weight with buyers than anything Five9 says about itself.

Own the global events portfolio — company events, industry tradeshows, partner events, executive roundtables, and regional field programs.

Treat every event as a campaign — pre-show targeting, on-site engagement, and follow-up that is staffed and sequenced before the event opens.

Set the selection criteria for the event calendar with input from the Sales organization , and measure each investment on pipeline and cost per opportunity.

Lead a global organization across several teams , and build the shared cadence, forecast discipline, and reporting that hold them together.

Hire, develop, and retain leaders , and create a function that strong marketers and sales development professionals want to join and stay in.

Partner across Marketing — Product Marketing, Brand and Communications, Marketing Operations, and Analytics — so campaigns are built on the right positioning and measured on the right data.

Represent the demand engine to the executive team with a clear account of what is working and what changes next.

You are comfortable being accountable to targets. You would rather commit to a pipeline number and be measured against it than be evaluated on activity.

You lead breadth well. You can move from an ABM account review to an SDR pipeline call to an event budget conversation in the same morning and add something useful in each.

You are direct about what is not working, and you say so plainly rather than letting a program run out the year.

You build strong partnerships with Sales. You are in their forecast calls, you know their territories, and you are treated as part of the revenue team rather than as a supplier to it.

You hire well and develop people generously, and you have a track record of promoting leaders out of your organization.

You are genuinely curious about AI and have already woven it into how you and your teams work — not as a talking point, but as a tool that changes what is possible.
