Director of Digital Marketing

Organizational Reporting

Reports to: VP of Revenue Marketing  
Department: Marketing

Purpose of the Role

The Director of Digital Marketing owns the company's most important always-on marketing asset: the website. But this role extends far beyond web management alone. This leader is responsible for turning every digital surface - the website, paid media channels, third-party review and comparison platforms, and search presence - into a measurable, pipeline-generating engine that fuels the company's growth.

This is a commercially-minded leadership role for someone who sees a website as a revenue instrument. The right candidate brings deep technical fluency across SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), CRO, and paid media - and pairs it with the strategic judgment to prioritize what truly moves pipeline.

They will lead a cross-functional digital team spanning paid media, web development, CRO and testing, and regional marketing coordination, while managing agency relationships and collaborating across product marketing, content, campaigns, and demand generation.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility position at the center of how the company shows up digitally - and how effectively that presence converts into revenue.

Responsibilities & Accountabilities

Website Ownership & Pipeline Performance

• Own the company website end-to-end as a critical marketing surface, accountable for both overall marketing health metrics (traffic, engagement, domain authority) and pipeline-specific outcomes (conversion rates, MQL/SQL generation, pipeline contribution)
• Treat the website as a living product - continuously optimizing structure, content, UX, and conversion paths to maximize its effectiveness as a revenue-generating asset
• Lead the technical SEO, GEO, and AEO strategy to ensure the company is discoverable, authoritative, and well-represented across traditional search engines, AI-driven answer engines, and generative search experiences

• Drive a disciplined culture of conversion rate optimization and experimentation through a direct report focused on testing, CRO, and coordination
• Establish and maintain a structured testing roadmap across landing pages, CTAs, forms, site architecture, and user flows

• Collaborate with regional demand generation teams to ensure digital programs are localized, relevant, and aligned to territory-level pipeline goals
• Serve as the digital execution partner for product launches, seasonal campaigns, and integrated marketing moments

Team Leadership

• Lead and develop a team that includes a paid media lead and a CRO/testing and coordination lead
• Set clear goals, create accountability structures, and build a team culture that values both creative ambition and commercial discipline
