Full Job Description
About the Role

Notion is looking for a Head of Demand Engine to build the engine that turns our best product stories, customer proof, and market opportunities into scaled pipeline. You'll lead demand programs across campaigns, digital, paid strategy, webinars, email, web, and emerging channels. You'll partner closely with Product Marketing on audience and offer strategy, with Performance Marketing on paid execution, and with Field Marketing & Events on the moments that benefit from in-person activation.

This is a senior leadership role with both AMER and global scope. You'll help set the global standard for how Notion plans, runs, tests, and measures demand programs, while learning from strong regional teams and making the best ideas repeatable across markets. You'll lead a growing team spanning demand programs and digital demand, with room to expand into areas like partner marketing over time.

This is a build job as much as a run job. We're looking for someone with real taste who can spot a strong idea, turn it into a sharp program, and build a repeatable engine around what works. You should care about quality and craft, but also love testing, data, systems, and execution. The opportunity is to modernize demand generation at one of the companies defining how teams work with AI.

This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We're looking for someone who's excited to work alongside the team during those days.

What You'll Do
  • Own the demand programs strategy, calendar, and operating rhythm across priority audiences, segments, and offers.
  • Turn strong product stories, content, customer proof, and market opportunities into integrated programs that can scale across channels and regions.
  • Build a high-velocity testing practice. Set a high bar for creative and execution, learn quickly, and put more weight behind what works.
  • Serve as the global point person for paid digital demand strategy. Define the audiences, offers, creative, programs, and goals, then partner closely with Performance Marketing on execution and optimization.
  • Lead digital demand across webinars, email, web, review sites, nurture, and new formats, creating new programs where the strategy calls for them.
  • Partner with Marketing Ops and RevOps to build a trusted global approach to marketing ROI, attribution, forecasting, MQA/MQL methodology, and campaign reporting.
  • Work closely with Enterprise Product Marketing on audience, offer, and campaign strategy, and with Field Marketing & Events on coordinated execution.
  • Help build our muscle in account-based marketing and partner marketing as those motions develop.
  • Be a trusted partner to Sales and executive leadership. Bring a clear point of view, make the numbers legible, and advocate for what will have the most impact.
  • Hire, coach, and lead a strong team across demand programs and digital demand.


What You'll Need
  • A track record of building and scaling B2B demand programs that create qualified pipeline.
  • Strong judgment and taste. You can point to specific programs that worked because the audience, offer, creative, and execution were sharp.
  • Deep digital demand experience across paid strategy, email, web, webinars, nurture, and integrated campaigns.
  • A testing mindset and the operating discipline to turn learnings into repeatable programs, systems, and investment decisions.
  • Comfort with data. You can work closely with Marketing Ops and RevOps on attribution, reporting, forecasting, and ROI, and translate the numbers into clear action.
  • Executive presence. You earn trust with Sales and company leaders, hold a strong point of view, and are comfortable making hard calls.
  • Experience leading and developing strong teams in a fast-moving environment.
  • Experience operating across regions, or genuine curiosity and appetite to build globally.
  • Comfort with ambiguity. This model is still being written, and you'll help write it.


Nice to Haves
  • Experience building account-based marketing programs.
  • Experience with partner or ecosystem marketing.
  • Experience working across both product-led and sales-assisted growth motions.


Why This Role

This is one of the most visible, highest-impact seats in Notion's marketing org. You'll have the mandate to build the demand engine, shape how we measure marketing ROI globally, and work directly with Sales, RevOps, company leaders, and regional marketing teams.

The playbook for B2B demand generation is changing. Buyers expect better content and experiences, AI is reshaping how programs get built, and old attribution models are under pressure. If you want to apply what already works, challenge what doesn't, and help define a more modern model, this is the job.

Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role's scope and complexity, and the candidate's experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco or New York City, the estimated base salary range for this role is $245,000 - $275,000 per year.

A Note on AI

You don't need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement - when that's the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
