About the role

Cohere builds frontier AI for the enterprise. We're hiring a Senior Director of Integrated Marketing to bring our demand engine, product marketing, and field/partner motion under one strategic roof. This is the senior marketing leader most accountable for pipeline. You're the person who turns Cohere's product, brand, and category narrative into qualified enterprise opportunities for our sales team.

Sub-functions report to you: Product Marketing, Web Marketing, Growth, and Events & Partnerships.

You'll work with the Chief of Staff on planning, budget, and operating cadence, and with the Marketing Operations Director and her analytics team on attribution, forecasting, martech, and the dashboards your pipeline number lives in. The demand engine only runs if you and the analytics group work as one team on measurement, and building that partnership is part of the job from week one.

This role is built for someone who has done it before at a high-growth B2B SaaS or infrastructure company, and is ready to do it again at the frontier of AI.

WHAT YOU'LL RUN

Integrated marketing strategy

• Build and run the integrated marketing plan against Cohere's annual pipeline and revenue targets, by segment (enterprise, mid-market) and by region (NA, EMEA, APAC, Japan). You'll build it with the Chief of Staff, who holds the planning calendar for the wider marketing org. You will carry the pipeline number for marketing

Growth & demand generation

• Manage the Growth lead across paid media, SEO, lifecycle/email, web conversion, ABM, and developer-led acquisition. Set the demand strategy with them: efficient pipeline from both top-of-funnel demand (broad-reach campaigns, content syndication, paid) and bottom-funnel ABM into our priority accounts.

Product marketing

• Manage the Product Marketing lead, whose team runs positioning, messaging, competitive intelligence, pricing/packaging input, launches, and sales enablement. Partner with Product and Research leadership to translate frontier capability into language enterprise buyers actually care about: business outcomes, security, deployment flexibility, ROI.

Events & partnerships marketing

• Manage the Events & Partnerships lead as they build the partner marketing motion with our cloud, SI, and technology partners: co-marketing campaigns, joint field activity, partner-sourced pipeline. Hold events to a pipeline standard.

Team leadership

• Manage and develop three established leads as direct reports, plus their teams of ~[20–35] across the three sub-functions.
• Set the operating cadence with the Chief of Staff: weekly pipeline reviews with Sales, monthly QBR-style reviews internally, quarterly planning with Finance and RevOps.

HOW SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED

Primary

• Marketing-sourced pipeline ($ and # of opportunities)
• Marketing-influenced pipeline
• MQL → SQL conversion rate and velocity
• Cost per opportunity / pipeline ROI

Secondary

• Launch impact (pipeline generated within 90 days of major launches)
• Event ROI (pipeline per event $)
• Partner-sourced pipeline
• ABM account engagement and penetration in named accounts
• Sales team NPS / enablement satisfaction

What you bring

• 15-20+ years in B2B marketing, with at least 4–5 years leading multi-function marketing teams at a high-growth enterprise SaaS, cloud, data, or AI/ML company.
• A demonstrable track record of owning a pipeline number, not just contributing to one. You can walk us through the campaigns, the math, and the trade-offs.
• Experience managing across at least two of: demand gen / growth, product marketing, field/events, partner marketing. Bonus if you've covered three or more.
• Fluency in the modern B2B marketing stack: Marketo or HubSpot, Salesforce, an ABM platform (6sense, Demandbase, or similar), and attribution tooling. Comfortable in a dashboard, not just a deck.
• Experience marketing to technical buyers (engineering leaders, data/ML leaders, CIOs) and selling technical products. AI/ML, data infra, dev tools, or cloud experience strongly preferred.
• Operating range: comfortable on a board-deck slide and on the floor of a trade-show booth in the same week.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership, particularly with Sales, RevOps, Product, and Finance.
