at Xpansiv
๐ข About Xpansiv
Xpansiv is the leading infrastructure provider for energy transition markets, operating registries, marketplaces, and data services that enable transparent, credible environmental claims. Backed by Blackstone and built through over 10 acquisitions since 2009, it sits at the intersection of climate action and commodity markets. Working here means shaping the digital backbone of global carbon and renewable energy markets at a pivotal moment for climate accountability.
About This Role
As Senior Manager, Demand Generation & Growth Marketing, you will own inbound demand programs, performance marketing, and funnel optimization to drive qualified pipeline across Xpansiv's business lines. This is a hands-on builder role that blends demand gen strategy with execution across key digital channels. Your work will directly fuel growth in markets where credibility and precision are paramount.
๐ก A Day in the Life
You might start by reviewing overnight campaign performance, adjusting bids and budgets, then meeting with sales to align on lead follow-up. Later, you could be building a new nurture sequence in HubSpot, analyzing funnel conversion data, or collaborating with product marketing on a webinar. Expect a mix of hands-on execution and strategic planning in a remote, collaborative environment.
๐ Application Tools
๐ฏ Who Xpansiv Is Looking For
- 5โ8 years in B2B demand generation or growth marketing, with a proven track record of building and optimizing multi-channel campaigns (paid search, paid social, email, webinars, content syndication).
- Deep experience with marketing automation (HubSpot, Marketo) and CRM (Salesforce), including lead scoring, nurturing, and attribution modeling.
- Data-driven mindset with strong analytical skills; comfortable analyzing funnel metrics, running A/B tests, and reporting on pipeline impact to leadership.
- Self-starter who thrives in a remote, fast-paced environment and can manage multiple campaigns across complex, technical product lines.
- Familiarity with energy, environmental commodities, or climate tech is a plus, but aptitude to learn quickly is essential.
๐ Tips for Applying to Xpansiv
Highlight specific demand gen campaigns you've built from scratch, including the channels used, budget managed, and pipeline/revenue generated.
Show familiarity with Xpansiv's market: mention environmental commodities, carbon markets, or energy transition in your outreach to demonstrate genuine interest.
Emphasize hands-on executionโthis role is not just strategy; provide examples of you personally running campaigns, optimizing landing pages, and analyzing data.
Quantify results wherever possible: e.g., 'Increased MQL-to-SQL conversion by X%' or 'Generated $Y pipeline in Z months'.
Use your cover letter to connect your demand gen experience to Xpansiv's mission of transparent climate action, showing you understand the stakes of credible environmental claims.
โ๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
['Your hands-on experience building and scaling demand gen programs that drove measurable pipeline, with specific metrics.', "Why Xpansiv's mission and market position excite you, and how you can contribute to growth in environmental commodity markets.", "Your proficiency with marketing tech stack (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.) and how you've used it to optimize funnels and attribution.", 'Your ability to work cross-functionally with sales, product, and leadership in a remote setting to align demand gen with revenue goals.']

โ ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Focusing only on high-level strategy without demonstrating hands-on executionโthis role requires someone who can both plan and do.
- Ignoring the industry context; applying with generic demand gen experience without connecting it to climate, energy, or commodity markets.
