About the role
About us
At Sierra, we’re creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices in Atlanta, New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Munich, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney.
We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.
Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.
What you'll do:
Build and scale Sierra's performance marketing function by defining and executing the strategy that turns paid spend into pipeline. Own paid search and paid social end-to-end, including channel strategy, campaign execution, and the systems needed to scale.
Own pipeline and budget performance, managing a quarterly pipeline target and multi-million-dollar advertising budget. Make data-driven investment decisions and use forecasting, attribution, and reporting to optimize efficiency and demonstrate ROI.
Lead strategy through execution, defining account and persona targeting, messaging, and competitive positioning while also building campaigns, optimizing bids, allocating budget, and developing high-performing ad copy and creative.
Drive a culture of rapid experimentation by continuously testing audiences, messaging, creative, channels, and campaign strategies. Quickly identify what works, double down on successful initiatives, and iterate away from underperforming tactics.
Leverage AI to multiply impact, automating meaningful aspects of the marketing workflow to increase speed, scale experimentation, and expand the team's reach beyond what a traditional performance marketing function could achieve.
You'll partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Marketing/Revenue Ops, and Customer & Product Marketing to align on target accounts, messaging, campaigns, data, attribution, and pipeline performance, while reporting into marketing leadership with the autonomy to set strategy and the visibility to drive measurable business impact.
What you'll bring:
7–10 years of B2B performance marketing experience with deep, hands-on ownership of paid search and paid social, including expert-level proficiency across Google Ads, Microsoft/Bing Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Meta/Facebook Ads.
Proven success owning pipeline and budget performance, managing multi-million-dollar quarterly ad budgets, maximizing ROAS, partnering closely with Sales in a sales-led motion, and using attribution, forecasting, and marketing operations to connect spend to pipeline and revenue.
Strong strategic and executional capabilities, with the ability to develop account and persona targeting, messaging, and competitive positioning while also executing campaign structure, platform optimization, bid strategy, budget allocation, copy, and creative.
A data-driven operator with a bias for experimentation, who treats every campaign as a learning opportunity, translates complex data into actionable insights, and continuously optimizes performance based on results.
A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments, embraces ambiguity, is excited by AI and its applications to marketing, and is motivated by building scalable programs and processes from the ground up.
Even better...
Hands-on experience with modern GTM tooling, including Clay and data enrichment platforms, along with experience executing ABM strategies for high-ACV, named-account sales motions.
Experience marketing technical or AI products to sophisticated B2B buyers, with a strong point of view on measurement and attribution in a privacy-first, post-cookie world.
A relentless experimentation mindset, with a constant backlog of ideas to test and optimize, always looking for new ways to improve targeting, performance, and growth..
Our values
Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.
Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers’ business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.
Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn’t right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve.
Intensity: We know we don’t have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn’t, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.
Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other’s personal and professional achievements.
