Full Job Description
About the Role

Reporting to the VP, Growth Marketing & Operations, you are the operational and technical engine behind our marketing data infrastructure, paid programs, and AI-powered campaign tooling. You build systems that make campaigns measurable, automations that make the team faster, and agents that make spend smarter. You own the website - the technical foundation and the instrumentation that make it fast, findable, and measurable.

This is a hands-on technical role. You build, maintain, and optimize, and you own the numbers on everything you touch.

What You'll Do
  • Web Infrastructure & Optimization - Technical Foundation & Growth Layer
  • Own site technical health - Core Web Vitals, speed, accessibility, crawlability, redirects - and the standards agencies build against
  • Run technical SEO audits and resolve crawl and indexation issues as the site grows
  • Build the templates, modules, and tracking components that let the team ship without a developer
  • Own the analytics stack - GA4, GTM, Search Console - and the measurement plan behind it
  • Drive organic strategy for ICP - keyword and topic strategy, on-page, IA, and content briefs
  • Lead AI Engine Optimization (AEO) so Laurel surfaces in LLMs

SEO & AEO - Organic and AI-Assisted Discovery
  • Drive organic strategy for ICP - technical SEO, on-page, IA, and content briefs
  • Run technical audits and resolve crawl and indexation issues as the site grows
  • Build the structured data and content architecture that makes Laurel citable to LLM retrieval
  • Track AI-assisted visibility and the organic pipeline that follows

HubSpot Operations
  • Own the HubSpot instance: workflows, lifecycle stages, lead scoring, list management, and campaign tracking infrastructure
  • Build and maintain contact database hygiene, segmentation logic, and attribution across all touchpoints
  • Configure UTM structures, form tracking, and pipeline reporting so every campaign ties back to revenue
  • Ensure data flow between HubSpot and CRM is accurate, reliable, and audit-ready

Paid LinkedIn - Data, Analytics & Execution
  • Execute and optimize paid LinkedIn campaigns: audience targeting, budget pacing, creative trafficking, and A/B testing
  • Build reporting frameworks that connect LinkedIn spend to pipeline contribution, not just clicks
  • Identify performance patterns in the data and act on them - audience refinement, bid adjustments, creative rotation
  • Establish and maintain campaign architecture so performance data is always trustworthy

Google Ads AI Agent & Marketing Automation - Build & Orchestrate
  • Build and maintain an AI agent that manages Google Ads operations: keyword management, bid strategy, budget allocation, and anomaly detection
  • Orchestrate the agent across campaign types - search, display, retargeting - using performance signals to drive autonomous optimization decisions
  • Define the logic, guardrails, and escalation rules so the agent operates reliably without constant supervision
  • Continuously improve agent performance by feeding it better signals, tighter rules, and accurate data
  • Collaborate with the AI Engineering team to identify and implement AI-powered marketing workflows beyond Google Ads
  • Drive adoption of these workflows, ensuring solutions are effectively implemented, measured, and continuously improved

Reporting & Analytics
  • Build and maintain dashboards across HubSpot, LinkedIn, and Google Ads that provide unified view of pipeline contribution by channel
  • Own attribution modeling for paid channels - last touch, multi-touch, and assist credit
  • Surface actionable insights that drive budget allocation, campaign optimization, and growth strategy, and improve conversion rates across the buyer journey

What You'll Own
  • The website's technical foundation - performance, crawlability, tracking integrity, and the standards everything on the site is built against
  • HubSpot marketing automation, workflows, and database integrity
  • Paid LinkedIn execution, optimization, and pipeline reporting
  • Google Ads AI agent - build, orchestration, and ongoing performance
  • AI-powered marketing workflows in partnership with the AI Engineering team
  • Marketing attribution infrastructure across paid channels
  • Channel performance dashboards and reporting

What You Bring
  • 10+ years in web development, marketing operations, growth marketing, or a technical digital marketing role in B2B
  • Deep marketing automation experience (HubSpot): workflows, lead scoring, lifecycle management, attribution, and reporting
  • Hands-on paid B2B channels (LinkedIn, Google): targeting, pacing, creative testing, and performance analysis
  • Hands-on web development: shipping production code, owning the deploy, and optimizing performance.
  • Experience building or working with AI agents or automation frameworks - comfortable with APIs, prompt engineering, or orchestration tools
  • Demonstrated SEO/AEO ownership - technical audits, IA and content strategy, and organic growth you can point to with numbers
  • Strong data instincts - you build clean tracking, trust the attribution, and make decisions from numbers

Nice to Have
  • Experience marketing to professional services, legal, or financial enterprise buyers
  • SQL or Python fluency for self-serve data work
  • Experience with Google Ads Scripts, Performance Max, or campaign automation tools
  • Prior work with LLM-based agents or workflow orchestration platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier, LangChain)
