As a Senior Growth Marketing Specialist at OpenGov, you're a full-stack marketer-owning the complete go-to-market lifecycle for products, features, and campaigns. You'll develop positioning and messaging, craft integrated demand gen programs, build enablement collateral, execute launches, and measure impact. From strategy through execution, you'll combine storytelling and data to drive pipeline and establish OpenGov as the AI and ERP leader for state and local governments.

You bring both strategic vision and tactical execution chops.

Product Launches & Enablement
  • Lead end-to-end launch plans for new products and features-defining objectives, audience, messaging, tactics, timeline, and success metrics.
  • Develop comprehensive enablement materials (pitch decks, one-pagers, battlecards, FAQs) to equip sales, customer success, and support teams on new capabilities.
  • Coordinate internal comms, customer announcements, and field readiness to drive product adoption.

Performance & Optimization
  • Own campaign measurement and reporting-tracking pipeline contribution, engagement rates, conversion metrics, and ROI.
  • Analyze campaign performance, identify learnings, and translate insights into optimization recommendations.
  • Stay plugged into competitive, industry, and government trends; use insights to shape timely, relevant campaigns.


What We're Looking For

Core Experience
  • 5+ years of B2B or B2G marketing experience, ideally in SaaS or high-growth environments.
  • Proven track record developing and executing multi-channel campaigns that drove measurable pipeline results.

  • Analytical and strategic; able to synthesize customer insights, competitive intelligence, and market trends into clear, compelling narratives.
  • Roll-up-your-sleeves operator; comfortable owning everything from strategy to execution across campaigns, content, and launches.
