Growth Marketing Manager — Enterprise


ABOUT THE ROLE

We are an enterprise AI company selling to large, regulated businesses with long sales cycles and multi-person buying committees. Marketing here runs on named accounts rather than broad campaigns, and every claim we make carries a number behind it.


This role owns the execution engine underneath that: demand generation, the marketing technology stack, performance marketing, search and answer-engine visibility, developer and customer marketing, and the reporting that proves any of it worked. It is a hands-on role in a small team — you build these systems yourself.


WHAT YOU WILL DO?

  • Demand generation inside account plays. Build and ship the landing pages, sequences, personalised outreach and targeted social that account-based plays require, against a single list shared with sales.
  • Own the martech stack end to end. CMS and hosting, GA4 and Tag Manager, CRM and marketing automation, attribution, SEO tooling and dashboards — selection, configuration, integration, access and cost.
  • Website operations and technical SEO. Site and landing page builds, architecture, structured data, redirects, page speed, indexation.
  • SEO and AEO. Own organic visibility, and build the tracking for how often we appear in AI-generated answers to buyer questions. This part has no established playbook.
  • Performance marketing. Paid social to named buying-committee roles, retargeting and paid search — small budgets, tight tests, honest reporting.
  • Developer marketing. Run the developer-facing surface with engineering — documentation and sandbox operations, sample repositories, technical content programming, developer events and hackathon presence, and adoption measurement.
  • Customer marketing. Own the reference programme with sales — case studies, verified reviews on marketplaces andreview platforms, logo permissions, advocacy and reference calls.
  • Events and community. Executive dinners, conferences, sponsorships and an invitation-only practitioner circle — logistics, follow-up and attributed pipeline.
  • Reporting. One dashboard, one source of truth, reported weekly on pipeline influenced and accounts moved rather than lead volume.


WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

  • 3–4 years in growth marketing, demand generation or marketing operations. Early-stage startup experience strongly preferred someone who has built a function, not inherited one that already ran.
  • Hands-on across a modern martech stack — you have configured analytics and tag management, built automation workflows and shipped CMS pages yourself. We care that you have wired tools together, not which brands you used.
  • Real technical SEO ability — audits, structured data, internal linking, redirect strategy, and confident use of crawl and keyword tools.
  • Performance marketing you ran personally, with a view on what small B2B budgets can and cannot buy.
  • Strong with spreadsheets, dashboards and light no-code automation. SQL is a bonus, not a filter.
  • Comfortable with technical audiences and with customers — you can brief engineers on developer content, and ask a live customer for a case study or a review without flinching.
  • Clear written English, and the judgement to start from context rather than a brief.
  • Willing to be measured on pipeline influenced.


BONUS POINTS

  • B2B enterprise or regulated-industry experience
  • Account-based marketing
  • Developer marketing or technical community work
  • An informed opinion on how large language models surface brands
  • Enough HTML and CSS to unblock yourself
  • Exposure to both Indian and international markets.
  • Apply with a page you shipped end to end, a dashboard you built, and one campaign that did not work and what you changed because of it.

Job Overview

We are looking for a highly driven, analytical, and hands-on Assistant Digital Marketing Manager to lead and execute our multi-channel digital growth strategies. Operating as a core individual contributor, you will take full end-to-end ownership of lead generation, marketing campaigns, search engine & generative engine optimization (SEO/GEO), social media management and outreach initiatives.

If you are a self-starter who thrives in a data-driven environment and excels at driving marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) through impactful digital execution, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

1. Lead Generation & MQL Pipeline

  • Plan, execute, and optimize end-to-end multi-channel marketing campaigns focused on driving high-quality Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs).
  • Build and maintain lead conversion funnels, working continuously to improve lead quality, cost-per-acquisition (CPA), and pipeline conversion rates.
  • Collaborate closely with sales/business development teams to align lead criteria, qualify MQLs, and refine lead-nurturing workflows.

2. Campaigns & Performance Marketing

  • Directly design, set up, manage, and scale acquisition campaigns across channels (e.g., Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, etc.).
  • Actively monitor daily campaign performance, budget utilization, and bid strategies to maximize return on ad spend (ROAS).
  • Perform continuous A/B testing on ad copies, creatives, audiences, and landing page messaging to optimize click-through and conversion rates.

3. SEO & Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

  • Manage on-page, off-page, and technical SEO strategies to drive sustainable organic traffic growth.
  • Implement cutting-edge GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) tactics to ensure brand visibility within AI-driven search environments (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Search Generative Experience/AI Overviews).
  • Perform key phrase research, content optimization, and link-building strategies.

4. Social Media Marketing & Outreach

  • Own and manage organic social media channels, developing engaging visual and written content that reinforces brand authority.
  • Execute targeted outbound outreach strategies (e.g., cold outreach campaigns, partnership co-marketing, and influencer/industry network connections) to broaden brand reach.
  • Track engagement, reach, and conversion metrics across all social profiles.

5. Data-Driven Analytics & Reporting

  • Utilize marketing analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics 4, CRM platforms, platform-native ads managers) to track and analyze campaign performance in real time.
  • Build actionable weekly and monthly performance dashboards highlighting key metrics (MQL volume, CPA, CTR, ROAS, pipeline impact).
  • Leverage data and performance insights to continually iterate and pivot strategies for maximum impact.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

  • Experience: 3–5 years of hands-on experience in performance marketing, digital lead generation, and digital channel management.
  • Hands-on Execution: Proven track record as a self-sufficient individual contributor capable of executing campaigns from scratch without agency reliance.
  • Core Skills:
  • Demonstrated capability in driving MQLs through paid and organic channels.
  • Hands-on experience managing PPC/Paid Social campaign setups and budgeting.
  • Solid understanding of traditional SEO combined with awareness/experience in GEO strategies.
  • End-to-end webinar management and digital outreach experience.
  • Advanced proficiency with Google Analytics (GA4), marketing automation/CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce), and ad platforms.
  • Mindset: Highly analytical, data-oriented, curious, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment.

A BIT ABOUT US

Appknox is a leading AI-native mobile application security platform trusted by enterprises around the world. Recognized by Gartner and G2, Appknox helps organizations secure mobile applications throughout their lifecycle through automated security testing, continuous monitoring, and actionable intelligence.


Headquartered in Singapore with engineering based in Bengaluru, Appknox serves customers across North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, and India. Our customers include Fortune 500 companies, governments, financial institutions, and digital-first enterprises that rely on Appknox to secure their mobile ecosystem.


We are a profitable, fast-growing B2B SaaS company with a highly collaborative culture and ambitious plans to shape the future of application security in the AI era.


About The Role

Application security is undergoing a fundamental shift. AI is changing how software gets built, how vulnerabilities emerge, how security teams investigate and prioritise risk, and how enterprise buyers discover and evaluate security platforms.


Appknox has spent more than a decade building deep expertise in mobile application security. Our next chapter requires us to evolve both what Appknox stands for and how effectively we take that story to market.

We are looking for a hands-on Lead for GTM Marketing to translate Appknox’s product, positioning and business priorities into integrated go-to-market programmes that create awareness, engagement and pipeline.

You will lead the GTM marketing team and own demand generation, campaigns, ABM, website and conversion, organic discovery, content activation, field marketing and events. You will work as a peer to Product Marketing, partnering closely with Sales, Product and leadership to connect market strategy with disciplined execution.


This is not a role for someone who only manages agencies, runs isolated campaigns or waits to receive briefs. You will help determine where marketing should focus, challenge assumptions, build the operating plan, develop the team and remain close enough to execution to maintain a high quality bar.


What You Will Own


1. GTM strategy 

Translate Appknox’s product, positioning and revenue priorities into a focused GTM strategy, operating plan and measurable goals.

For each significant opportunity, help answer:

Who are we trying to influence? What problem matters to them? What do we want them to believe? What should we take to market? Through which channels? What commercial outcome should it create?

You will:

  • Lead and develop the GTM marketing team, creating clarity around priorities, ownership, quality and performance.
  • Build quarterly and annual GTM plans aligned with company, product and regional revenue priorities.
  • Prioritise across markets, audiences, channels and opportunities rather than allowing every request to become a campaign.
  • Manage relevant budgets, agencies and specialist partners.
  • Establish clear operating rhythms across GTM Marketing, Product Marketing, Sales and Product.


2. Demand Generation and Integrated Campaigns

Build integrated programmes that create qualified demand and contribute meaningfully to pipeline.

You will:

  • Own marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline targets, measurement and review rhythms.
  • Design programmes across inbound, paid, organic, content, webinars, retargeting and emerging acquisition channels.
  • Connect campaigns to defined audiences, customer problems, offers, conversion paths and commercial outcomes.
  • Diagnose funnel performance and work with Sales and revenue operations to improve conversion.
  • Identify successful GTM plays that can be repeated and scaled.

Success will be measured through qualified engagement, opportunity creation and progression, pipeline contribution and conversion-not campaign activity alone.


3. Account-Based and Segment GTM

Partner with Sales and Product Marketing to build focused programmes for priority accounts, industries, personas and regions.

You will:

  • Identify segments and accounts where focused marketing can create disproportionate impact.
  • Understand buying committees, account-level triggers and market-specific context.
  • Work with Product Marketing to develop relevant narratives by segment and buyer.
  • Design integrated ABM programmes, offers, landing experiences and content.
  • Coordinate marketing engagement with SDR and sales outreach.
  • Track account engagement, opportunity creation and progression.


At Appknox, ABM should combine account insight, buying committee, customer problem, narrative, offer and sales motion-not simply apply advertising to an account list.


4. Website, Organic Discovery and Conversion

Transform Appknox.com into an active GTM and experimentation engine.

You will own or drive:

  • Information architecture and messaging activation.
  • Product, use-case, industry, persona, regional and competitive pages.
  • Campaign landing experiences and conversion paths.
  • Website experimentation and performance measurement.
  • SEO and evolving AI-led discovery across platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.

You will develop a measurement system connecting discoverability, relevance, engagement, conversion and pipeline. Traffic, rankings and AI mentions alone are not success.


5. Product Launches and Market Activation

Partner with Product Marketing and Product to take new capabilities and products to market.


Product Marketing will lead customer insight, ICP definition, positioning, competitive differentiation and product narrative. You will lead GTM planning and activation across campaigns, website, content, distribution, organic discovery, sales activation, field programmes and amplification.


This is not a downstream handoff. You will participate in launch strategy, contribute market and performance insight, and help test whether the positioning works when exposed to buyers.


6. Content and Thought Leadership

Lead the GTM content agenda and the team responsible for bringing it to life.

You will:

  • Determine what Appknox should talk about based on customer problems, market shifts, buyer demand and the company’s strategic point of view.
  • Guide the development of category narratives, research-led content, technical thought leadership, competitive content, executive communications and campaign assets.
  • Build content distribution into every major initiative rather than treating publication as the finish line.
  • Maintain a consistently high standard of clarity, substance and differentiation.

Every significant content investment should answer: Who are we trying to influence? What belief are we trying to change? What should happen after they consume it?


7. Field Marketing and Events

Own the GTM strategy and marketing execution for priority industry events, executive programmes, regional activations and field initiatives.


You will:

  • Select and prioritise events based on target audiences, market objectives and commercial potential.
  • Build pre-event, onsite and post-event motions with Sales.
  • Develop programmes that create meetings, progress target accounts and deepen customer and partner relationships.
  • Establish consistent measurement for event-sourced and event-influenced pipeline.
  • Balance global consistency with the realities of different regions and sales motions.


8. Market Intelligence and Experimentation

Work with Product Marketing to continuously monitor competitor positioning, market narratives, buyer behaviour, campaign signals, organic discovery and emerging security themes.

Product Marketing will lead the strategic implications for positioning and product. You will ensure relevant market and performance signals translate rapidly into GTM action.



Work Expectations


First 60 days

  • Understand Appknox’s market, customers, product portfolio, team, current GTM programmes, website funnel, organic presence and competitive landscape.

  • Eager to build and grow with the company over the long term.



What We Are Looking For

  • Demonstrated ownership of integrated GTM programmes and measurable pipeline outcomes.
  • Strong understanding of product positioning and messaging, with the ability to turn strategy into market-facing activation.
  • Experience working closely with Sales on demand generation, ABM, field marketing or regional programmes.
  • Strong digital and website fundamentals, including conversion optimisation and organic discovery. Familiarity with AEO and GEO is valuable, but deep SEO specialisation is not required.
  • Ability to understand technically complex products and simplify them without losing substance.
  • Strong analytical capability and a desire to understand why a metric moved—not simply report that it did.
  • Excellent writing, storytelling and communication skills.
  • Ability to move between strategic thinking, team leadership and hands-on execution.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, making trade-offs and building systems where none currently exist.
  • Low ego, high ownership and the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively.
