The ideal candidate combines deep channel expertise, a strong understanding of account-based marketing (ABM), and sound creative judgment.

What You’ll Do:

• Execute campaigns that build awareness and create demand
  • Plan, launch, and optimize campaigns across LinkedIn, Meta, X, Reddit, YouTube, Google Demand Gen,programmatic display and emerging channels, including audience setup, bidding, budget pacing, tracking, and reporting.
  • Support major brand moments that build awareness, credibility, and consideration among relevant audiences in priority markets.
  • Activate demand-creation programs through content syndication, industry publishers, newsletters, and sponsored email, with clear audience requirements and lead-quality standards.
• Put ABM strategy into practice
  • Translate priority account lists, engagement signals, and buying-group needs into actionable paid media audiences.
  • Build distinct campaigns to introduce Navan to unengaged accounts, reach missing buying roles within engaged accounts, and support progression where paid media can add value.
  • Partner with Marketing Operations to maintain audience syncs, exclusions, and suppression rules, and troubleshoot match rates and delivery issues.
  • Support one-to-one and one-to-few customer expansion campaigns in partnership with Customer Marketing and account teams, validating audience size and reach before launch.
  • Familiarity with 6Sense, Demandbase, StackAdapt or comparable programmatic and account-targeting platforms.
• Partner with Creative and Content
  • Develop clear creative briefs that connect the campaign objective, audience, message, offer, and channel requirements.
  • Work with Creative, Content, and Product Marketing to produce paid social, display, and sponsored-content assets.
  • Run structured tests across messaging, concepts, formats, and landing pages, and turn results into clear recommendations for the next creative iteration.
  • Manage production timelines and asset refreshes so campaigns launch on time and stay relevant.
• Measure, learn, and improve
  • Set campaign KPIs that match the objective, from qualified reach and consideration lift to account engagement, buying-group coverage, opportunities, and pipeline.
  • Partner with Analytics to design controlled tests, establish baselines, and evaluate incremental impact over appropriate measurement windows.
  • Validate account matching, placement quality, viewability, reach, and frequency, and resolve delivery issues before increasing investment.
  • Work with Marketing Operations and Sales to connect meaningful campaign responses with clear follow-up and feedback.
  • Communicate what is working, what remains uncertain, and where to scale, adjust, or stop investment.

What We’re Looking For:

• 8+ years of experience in performance marketing or paid media, including meaningful experience in B2B marketing.
• Deep, recent hands-on experience with LinkedIn Ads and multiple channels across paid social, YouTube, Google Demand Gen, and programmatic display.
• Practical knowledge of ABM, including account segmentation, buying committees, audience activation, and long B2B buying cycles.
• Experience executing both brand-awareness and demand-creation campaigns, with a clear understanding of how their objectives, creative, and measurement differ.
• A track record of managing budgets, optimizing campaigns directly, and making thoughtful investment decisions.
• Experience partnering with creative teams to develop briefs, test concepts, and improve campaign assets.
• Strong vendor management skills and experience working with media partners, publishers, or agencies.
• Confidence using campaign, CRM, and analytics data to assess audience quality and downstream performance.
• Strong project management and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple campaigns and cross-functional partners.
