- Company Overview A nonprofit research and philanthropic institution recognized for its long-standing commitment to scientific discovery is investing in
Company Overview
A nonprofit research and philanthropic institution recognized for its long-standing commitment to scientific discovery is investing in a newly formed function dedicated to embedding AI into how the organization operates day to day. This team sits close to the executive suite, reporting through senior leadership, which reflects the strategic weight placed on this work. The culture favors integration over isolation. Developers here are woven into delivery teams alongside engineers, architects, and business partners, rather than siloed off to work on narrow pieces of a larger puzzle. As this function scales, it is building out the team that will define how AI moves from idea to production across the organization.
Position Overview
This is a rare opportunity to help stand up a brand new AI function from the ground up, with direct visibility to executive leadership and a mandate to change how a respected research institution operates. First, the scope is genuinely full lifecycle: model selection, evaluation design, deployment, and operations all fall under one seat, not split across teams. Second, the impact is immediate and visible, since the systems built here will be adopted across administrative and operational functions organization-wide. Third, the growth trajectory is real. The team is expanding beyond this initial hiring round, and early members will shape the patterns, architecture, and culture the function scales on.
Position Responsibilities
- Design and build production AI systems embedded within a delivery team, working alongside engineers, architects, and business partners to ship collaboratively rather than in isolation.
- Select the right technical approach for each problem, whether that means a large language model with retrieval, a gradient boosted tree, or a well featured regression model, and be able to defend that choice with sound reasoning.
- Build within established reference architectures and shared engineering patterns, contributing improvements back to the team when gaps are identified.
- Design evaluation methodology before any system reaches production, covering precision, recall, calibration, drift, business outcome metrics, and A/B testing where appropriate.
- Own deployment and operations end to end, including CI/CD, infrastructure as code, observability, and cost, with production considerations built in from the first commit.
- Partner with receiving teams on handoff, including documentation, runbooks, on call posture, and ownership transition, so systems remain operable by others.
- Translate technical trade-offs for business stakeholders while also communicating at a peer level with engineering teams, moving fluidly between both audiences.
Position Qualifications
Required:
- A demonstrated track record of shipping production enterprise systems, with clear ownership of outcomes from design through operation.
- 6 or more years of hands-on software engineering experience, including at least 3 years building and shipping production machine learning or deep learning systems, with at least 2 years of that experience beyond generative AI specifically.
- Strong proficiency in Java and/or Python.
- Hands-on experience with classical machine learning techniques (gradient boosting, regression, clustering, tree based methods, dimensionality reduction) as well as deep learning.
- Experience designing evaluation frameworks for production ML systems, including offline and online evaluation, A/B testing, and statistical inference.
- Fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform or comparable), container orchestration, and CI/CD, with the ability to work across AWS, Azure, and GCP without dependence on a single provider.
- Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph or Strands.
Preferred:
- Experience with front end frameworks such as React, for building end to end user facing AI features.
- Production experience with vector databases, retrieval systems, or knowledge graphs.
- Familiarity with MLOps tooling, including model registries, feature stores, or training pipeline orchestration.
- Prior experience in research, academic, or mission driven institutional environments.
- Background as a forward deployed engineer or solutions engineer, comfortable being client facing while owning technical delivery.
Compensation Range: $145,000 – $200,000 plus a competitive benefits package.

- Consistently hit activity benchmarks including calls, meetings booked, and pipeline created to support a predictable and forecastable new business book.

- A documented track record of hunting, prospecting, and closing net-new logos in a B2B environment, with consistent quota attainment and a demonstrated ability to build pipeline from scratch.

- Resilient, self-motivated, and competitive, with a track record of treating a quiet pipeline as a problem to solve.

Location: Remote, United States | Type: Full-Time
A growing, well-established company in a relationship-driven B2B industry is hiring a Director of Demand Generation to own its lead pipeline and the budget behind it. This is a builder role for a performance marketer who runs on numbers: someone accountable for every dollar of demand gen spend and the qualified pipeline it produces, reporting into senior marketing leadership.
Position Overview
You will own demand generation end to end, from budget strategy to sales handoff. The north star is efficient, measurable growth: allocate spend across channels, forecast pipeline against revenue targets, and prove ROI with clean attribution. You will run the channels directly, from paid media to organic and AI-powered search, and build agentic workflows that make the function compound over time. For a marketer who wants full ownership and a clear path into broader marketing leadership, this role offers startup-level autonomy with the infrastructure and stability to scale.
Position Responsibilities
- Own the demand generation budget, including allocation across channels, spend pacing, and efficiency, with direct accountability for return on every dollar deployed.
- Build forecasting and attribution models that connect spend to pipeline and revenue, and use them to reallocate budget toward the highest-performing channels.
- Own and report on core performance metrics on a set cadence to leadership, including CPL, CAC, MQL volume and quality, MQL-to-SQL conversion, and pipeline contribution.
- Manage paid media across Google Ads and LinkedIn, including campaign structure, targeting, creative testing, and budget allocation, with a bias toward conversion and cost efficiency.
- Own SEO strategy and execution, including keyword targeting, on-page and technical optimization, and content signals, in partnership with the web team.
- Grow visibility in AI-powered search environments such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews through Generative Engine Optimization.
- Build and iterate on agentic workflows that automate repeatable functions, from lead scoring to outreach sequencing.
- Partner with Sales on lead handoff, pipeline review cadences, and feedback loops to keep quality and conversion aligned.
- Run A/B tests and channel comparisons to improve performance, and keep all outbound programs compliant.
Position Qualifications
Required
- A minimum of 6 years of progressive experience in demand generation, growth, or performance marketing, with direct ownership of pipeline metrics.
- A track record of managing marketing budgets and tying spend to measurable revenue outcomes, with the ability to point to specific channels built or optimized and the pipeline they produced.
- Strong data fluency, including the ability to run independent analysis, build attribution or forecasting models, and present pipeline results to leadership.
- Proven, hands-on SEO expertise across keyword ranking, technical SEO, and content-driven organic growth.
- Hands-on experience managing paid media on Google Ads and LinkedIn.
- Real experience building agentic workflows or AI automation tools in a live marketing context, not theoretical familiarity.
Preferred
- Experience with marketing automation or CRM platforms such as HubSpot, Marketo, or ActiveCampaign.
- Familiarity with B2B services, professional services, or a similarly relationship-driven industry.
- A collaborative, low-ego mindset with a bias for action and a genuine partnership approach with sales.
