  • Lead conversion rate optimization efforts across the website and funnel, including experimentation with landing pages, messaging, and calls to action.
  • Build and run email marketing and nurture programs that support lead conversion, education, and long-term engagement.
  • Partner with an external agency to reimagine and establish Wisable's brand, and serve as the internal steward to ensure consistent execution across all touchpoints.
  • Create and oversee content across formats, including email, web, educational resources, social, and sales enablement materials.
  • Develop and execute live event and field marketing initiatives, such as conferences, sponsorships, or local events, to generate demand and build brand visibility.
