Vice President of Marketing

 GoFormz – San Diego, CA

GoFormz is in the middle of a deliberate GTM transformation — moving from a product-led, trial-driven motion to an enterprise sales-led model targeting Construction and Energy companies. We are looking for a VP of Marketing who has done this before, thrives in lean environments, and considers pipeline their personal responsibility.

This is not a brand stewardship role. It is a revenue generation role with a marketing budget and a team. The right candidate is as comfortable building a target account list as they are writing the one-pager that opens the door. They know how to sell to an operations director on the floor and a CFO in the boardroom — and they can coach a team to do the same. They consider themselves a partner to the revenue leader and a key driver of overall business success.

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Pipeline and revenue accountability — Marketing owns a number. You own that number.
• Market-level positioning and narrative — the "what, why, and for whom" of GoFormz in the market. You shape how we show up and what we stand for with enterprise buyers.
• ABM strategy — target account selection, campaign architecture, and account engagement from first touch through qualified pipeline.
• Sales and SDR partnership — tight alignment with the sales team on messaging, sequencing, handoff quality, and pipeline review cadence.
• Team leadership — you directly manage the Director of Demand Generation, SDR Manager, Director of Product Marketing, Director of Partnerships, MOPs Manager, and Experience Manager.
• Board reporting — own the marketing narrative in quarterly board updates, including pipeline contribution, program performance, and forward-looking targets.

Pipeline and Demand Generation

• Set and hold the quarterly pipeline target for Marketing in partnership with the CEO and VP of Sales.
• Oversee the ABM program in partnership with the Director of Demand Generation — account selection, multi-channel engagement, and pipeline reporting.
• Evaluate and optimize marketing's contribution to MQL → SAL → SQO conversion at each stage.
• Ensure paid programs (Metadata, LinkedIn) are running with clear attribution and cost-per-pipeline accountability.
• Manage relationships with SEO and content agencies — set the brief, hold the standard, own the output.

Positioning and Messaging

• Own the market-level narrative — what GoFormz is, who it's for, and why it wins.
• Partner with the Director of Product Marketing on use case and buyer-level messaging (HSE, Inspections, Time & Materials, Daily Construction Reports).
• Ensure consistent narrative across website, outbound sequences, sales decks, event materials, and partner collateral.
• Conduct regular messaging validation through Gong call reviews, customer interviews, and win/loss analysis.

SDR and Sales Alignment

• Partner daily with the SDR Manager to ensure outbound sequences, targets, and messaging are aligned to marketing programs.
• Run bi-weekly pipeline reviews with the sales leadership team.
• Establish and enforce MQL-to-SAL handoff SLAs with clear quality criteria.
• Use Gong data to identify messaging gaps and coach the SDR team alongside the SDR Manager.

Team and Agency Management

• Lead, coach, and develop a lean, high-accountability marketing team.
• Manage the SEO agency and content agency relationships — strategy and brief ownership stays in-house.
• Hire and onboard key open roles ensuring a balanced, cultural fit and a cross-functional, accountable mix of talent.
• Set clear performance expectations and conduct regular 1:1s and performance reviews across all direct reports.

Supervisory Responsibilities

• Recruits, interviews, and hires marketing team members in partnership with HR and the CEO.
• Oversees the daily workflow and output of the marketing team and agency partners.
• Provides regular, direct, and constructive performance feedback to all direct reports.
• Manages performance improvement processes and team development plans as needed.
• Handles discipline and termination in accordance with company policy.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Proven pipeline ownership — has carried a marketing revenue or pipeline target and been held accountable to it. Not "influenced" pipeline. Owned it.
• ABM experience — has designed and run account-based programs at the Tier 1 level, including account selection logic, multi-touch sequencing, and pipeline attribution.
• Lean operator — has built and run effective marketing programs with small teams and constrained budgets. Does not require a large org or agency infrastructure to execute.
• Sales partnership instinct — naturally collaborative with sales, comfortable in pipeline reviews, and knows how to coach a team to align messaging with how buyers actually buy.
• Strong written communicator — can write executive-level positioning and a concise, persuasive one-pager. Understands that great messaging is the foundation of great demand gen.
• Actively uses AI tools to accelerate competitive research, synthesize market intelligence, pressure-test positioning, and scenario plan — treating AI as a strategic multiplier that lets a lean team punch above its weight.
• Industrial or field services vertical experience strongly preferred — knows how operations leaders and CFOs in asset-intensive industries make decisions.
• 8+ years of B2B SaaS marketing experience, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role with direct pipeline accountability.
• Preferred experience in one or more of our key verticals: Construction, Energy, or adjacent industries.

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or related field required.
• MBA or equivalent experience a plus — not required.

EduTools and Technology

Candidates should have working familiarity with the following or close equivalents:

• Marketo — campaign orchestration and lead management
• Salesforce — pipeline tracking and attribution
• Metadata — paid media automation and ABM targeting
• Amplemarket — SDR sequencing and outbound coordination
• Gong — call intelligence and messaging analysis

A Note on Culture Fit

GoFormz is an $18M company with enterprise ambitions and a lean team. This role requires someone who gets energy from building — not managing what's already been built. If you're most comfortable with a full agency roster, a large headcount, and a mature playbook, this is not the right fit. If you want to own something meaningful and move fast, we'd like to talk.
