Role Overview

This is a senior individual contributor role within the India-based Go-To-Market team of an AI-powered, cloud-native test automation SaaS platform trusted by global enterprises across banking, retail, and manufacturing. The incumbent will own and accelerate the top-of-funnel pipeline across enterprise SaaS markets in the US, UK, and India, executing end-to-end lead generation and demand generation programmes spanning outbound prospecting, ABM campaigns, and inbound lead nurturing.

Reporting to GTM leadership, this position offers significant cross-functional exposure to sales, marketing, and product strategy. The final designation Assistant Manager, Deputy Manager, or Manager will be determined by the candidate's years of experience and merit demonstrated through the selection process.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and execute high-volume multi-channel outbound campaigns across email, LinkedIn, and cold calls targeting enterprise accounts across the US, UK, and India.
- Identify and build targeted prospect lists aligned to defined Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs) across technology, BFSI, retail, and manufacturing verticals.
- Qualify inbound MQLs and self-generated outbound leads; convert them into Sales Qualified Leads and pipeline-ready opportunities for Account Executives.
- Plan and execute integrated demand generation programmes including ABM, webinars, content syndication, and virtual events aligned to GTM strategy.
- Develop personalised, insight-led outreach messaging for technical and executive buyer personas including Engineering, QA, DevOps, and Product leadership.
- Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene in HubSpot — logging all activities, updating pipeline status, and ensuring accurate and timely data at all times.
- Track and optimise campaign performance across channels; deliver structured weekly reports on pipeline contribution, SQL conversion, and CPL to GTM leadership.
- Collaborate with Account Executives to align on target accounts, messaging frameworks, and structured lead handoff protocols.
- Partner with Marketing to refine ICP definitions, outreach sequences, and campaign content based on market feedback and outbound signals.
- Monitor the competitive landscape, industry trends, and buyer pain points in the software quality engineering space and feed insights to GTM and product teams.
- Support participation in events, webinars, and industry conferences to generate, qualify, and nurture enterprise leads.




- Build and present structured monthly pipeline and activity reports to GTM leadership, highlighting wins, gaps, and recommended course corrections.

Required Qualifications

- MBA or Post-Graduate Diploma in Marketing or Sales Management is preferred.
- HubSpot Marketing or Sales Hub certification is an added advantage.

Required Experience

- 10 + years of hands-on B2B lead generation, demand generation, or inside sales experience is required.

- Demonstrated experience targeting enterprise or mid-market accounts in US, UK, or India markets from an India-based role.
- Proven and quantifiable track record of consistently meeting or exceeding pipeline generation and SQL conversion targets.
- Experience working alongside Account Executives, marketing teams, or revenue leadership in a structured GTM workplace is strongly preferred.

- HubSpot CRM: pipeline management, workflow automation, and reporting dashboards.
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator: prospect research, InMail outreach, and account mapping.
- Sales prospecting and data tools: Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha, or equivalent platforms.
- Sales engagement and sequencing platforms: Outreach, Salesloft, or similar tools.
- Account-Based Marketing (ABM) platforms, methodologies, and playbook execution.
- Email marketing, campaign management, and multi-touch outreach sequencing.
- Data analytics and performance reporting for demand generation metrics.

Professional Tenure and Background

The ideal candidate will have spent the core of their career in recognised SaaS companies, enterprise technology product firms, or high-growth B2B startups with a defined GTM motion.
