Director, Demand Generation- Capital One Software (Remote)

Capital One Software Marketing is looking for a Director of Demand Generation to own the pipeline engine that fuels the growth for our industry leading SaaS platform.

You'll partner closely with Sales, RevOps, Product Marketing, SDR/BDR, Partner Marketing, Web Marketing and Data & Analytics teams to build a repeatable, scalable growth engine, developing and delivering always on campaigns and programs for our ICP and target segments.

Sales alignment & pipeline management

• Refine and govern marketing-to-sales SLAs, lead/account routing, and follow-up cadences.

• Run joint pipeline inspection and coverage reviews with Sales leadership; prioritize geos, accounts, and segments jointly.

• Continuously improve conversion rates, velocity, and win rates by stage and segment.

Team & operating cadence

• Build, mentor, and grow a high-performing team.

• Lead weekly/monthly/quarterly operating reviews with clear demand metrics, accountability, and course correction.

• Communicate plans, results, and resource needs to executive leadership with clarity and conviction.

Budget & ROI

• Own the demand generation budget with disciplined allocation, reallocation, and ROI accountability across channels and segments.

• Drive down CAC and improve payback period while sustaining pipeline coverage and growth.
