The Role

As Senior Manager of Demand Generation at Backstory, you will own how buyers find us and how they convert into pipeline. This is an AI-first marketing seat—equal parts strategy and hands-on execution. You will manage paid media, agency partners, web conversion, and organic discovery across both traditional search engines and AI answer engines. Partnering directly with the SVP of Marketing, you will commit to an enterprise pipeline target and build the automated systems to hit it.
