How to Apply for Senior Manager, Marketing Operations

at Xpansiv

🏢 About Xpansiv

Xpansiv is a market leader in environmental commodity trading and digital infrastructure, powering transparent and credible climate action. If you're passionate about using data and technology to drive sustainability at scale, this is a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven company at the forefront of the green economy.

About This Role

As Senior Manager of Marketing Operations, you'll be the architect behind Xpansiv's marketing engine—owning Pardot, data architecture, and lifecycle automation to fuel pipeline growth. Your work directly enables the company to scale its impact by delivering clear attribution and insights that guide go-to-market strategy.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing marketing attribution dashboards and identifying pipeline bottlenecks, then jumping into Pardot to build a new lifecycle automation for a product launch. After a meeting with the web agency to align on a landing page design, you'd analyze lead scoring performance and iterate on the model with insights from the sales team.
