Manager, Marketing Operations

<p>Marketing Operations sits inside Revenue Operations (RevOps) at Aiven. The team covers three functions — MarTech, Marketing Operations, and Marketing Analytics — running the engine behind Marketing across PArdot, Salesforce, and the wider MarTech stack. We partner daily with Marketing, Sales, Product, IT, Security, and Finance to turn marketing investment into measurable pipeline and revenue.</p> <h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2> <p>As the <strong>Senior Marketing Operations Lead</strong>, you are a commercial owner first and a systems builder second.

You’ll set the direction for how we measure funnel performance, attribute pipeline, and translate data into decisions the VP of Marketing and GTM leadership can act on.</p> <p>You will also lead the team responsible for the MarTech stack and funnel operations — setting the architecture, governing the data, and deploying AI automation to drive efficiency and scale. You report to the Senior Director, Revenue Operations, and work closely with the VP of Marketing as her primary business partner in RevOps.</p> <h2><strong>What You’ll Do</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Own marketing analytics and insight: measure funnel performance end-to-end, attribute pipeline accurately, identify where we’re generating returns and where we’re not, and translate findings into clear recommendations for the VP of Marketing and GTM leadership.</li> <li>Act as the strategic thought partner to the VP of Marketing: challenge her thinking on where to invest and what to cut, translate ambitions into funnel and MarTech roadmap and own the “how” behind her “what.”</li> <li>Design and govern the end-to-end funnel — from capture to pipeline — with a relentless focus on conversion rates, velocity and leakage.
