About the role:

The Director, Demand Generation, North America, will lead the strategy and execution of demand generation programs focused on acquiring new leads and logos, and improving conversion rates across top-, mid- and bottom-of-funnel metrics. This leader will design and deliver integrated campaigns that increase engagement, optimize lead quality, and drive marketing-sourced pipeline and qualified opportunities for LRN’s solutions across North America. The role is focused on new business, while also supporting Client Marketing on expansion and cross-sell programs. This is a hands-on individual contributor role responsible for both developing the North America demand generation strategy and personally executing, managing, and optimizing campaigns.

Working cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Rev Ops, Agency Partners, and other Regional Marketing Directors, the Director will build scalable, data-driven, buyer intent-led programs that deliver measurable growth. The Director will also partner closely with BDR and SDR leadership, ensuring strong coordination between marketing and inbound and  outbound efforts to maximize conversion efficiency.

What you'll do:

• Develop and own the North America demand generation strategy, focusing on new logo acquisition and conversion rate improvement across all funnel stages.
• Own marketing-sourced pipeline targets for North America, with shared accountability for qualified opportunity creation, campaign ROI, and contribution to new business revenue.
• Manage a multi-channel budget
• Plan, build, and execute integrated, multi-channel campaigns (digital, paid media, content syndication, email, nurture sequences, remarketing, webinars, PR and in-person events) to generate and nurture qualified leads.
• Build ABM campaigns that move marketing qualified accounts to sales-ready, and delivery insights to Sales in a timely manner.
• Build persona-driven campaigns informed by Sales’ customer insights and Product’s roadmap, aligned with vertical priorities and regional objectives.
• Partner with BDR, SDR, and RevOps to gather pipeline insights, then define target audience segments, lead goals, and conversion metrics, owning accountability throughout the funnel
• Drive engagement and response by building assets, workflows, and sequences with MarOps.
• Optimize paid media performance with agency partners.
• Partner closely with BDR and SDR leadership to align campaign strategy, lead qualification, follow-up processes, and conversion efforts, improving conversion rates from MQL to SQL.
• Work closely with Marketing Events Manager for pre-event, event, and post-event initiatives.
• Partner with MarOps to analyze funnel performance, velocity, identify drop-off points, and develop initiatives to increase conversion efficiency.
• Define and implement processes for lead handoff, feedback loops, and performance tracking between marketing and the BDR team.
• Conduct A/B testing, message optimization, and channel performance analysis to continually refine acquisition and conversion outcomes.
• Measure and monitor key funnel metrics—impressions, CTR, MQL→SQL rate,  SQL→Opportunity rate, marketing-sourced pipeline—and provide actionable recommendations.
• Report regularly on marketing-sourced pipeline, campaign ROI, and revenue contribution, driving continuous improvement initiatives.
• Share best practices and insights across the global marketing organization to elevate campaign effectiveness.
• Support the Customer Marketing team on expansion and cross-sell initiatives, lending demand generation expertise, channels, and campaign infrastructure where they add value.

• Proven success in optimizing funnel performance metrics in a B2B setting (e.g., MQL conversion, lead-to-meeting rate, etc.).

• Deep expertise with marketing automation (e.g., HubSpot) and CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce).
• Experience running ABM campaigns, paid media, SEO/SEM, and content-driven demand generation
