Senior Director, Growth Marketing

About the Role: Growth Marketing is one of PubMatic's highest-leverage investments, and it is being built from the ground up. We are looking for a Senior Director of Growth Marketing to lead a transformation of how PubMatic marketing investments generates, converts, and proves pipeline.   Today, growth marketing has strong people and real momentum, but needs infrastructure tuning to perform at scale. We are investing in bolstering that foundation, projected to lift marketing-sourced pipeline 15 to 25 percent within the first year, climbing toward 35 to 50 percent at full build. This role is accountable for turning that investment into results.   It is building the engine that takes a known audience, whether a target account, an engaged prospect, or a re-engaged pipeline opportunity, and converts it into quality pipeline and, ultimately, revenue. You will own the martech stack, the data and audience targeting strategy across first- and third-party sources and intent signals, the account-based marketing motion, and the digital channels that carry it all to market from brand to demand.   Reporting directly to the CMO and partnering closely with Marketing Operations, Product Marketing, Region Marketing Leaders, Corp Marketing, Sales & Sales Operations you will take the growth marketing function, including campaign and marketing automation, paid media, and business development outreach, from a team doing good work without full
