3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Marketing-Sourced Revenue

The total revenue directly attributable to marketing-generated leads and campaigns.

Target · Deliver >30% of all new business revenue for your business unit.

If the business unit's new revenue target is £10M, your team needs to directly contribute at least £3M of that. We'll track this closely, often with multi-touch attribution models.

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

The average cost to acquire a new customer through your demand generation efforts.

Target · Reduce CAC by 10% year-over-year (YoY) while maintaining or increasing lead quality.

If last year's CAC was £1,000, you'll be aiming for £900 this year, showing we're getting more efficient with our marketing spend. This isn't just about spending less, it's about smarter spending.

Lead Velocity Rate (LVR)

The month-over-month growth in qualified leads (SQLs) entering the sales pipeline.

Target · Maintain >10% month-over-month growth in SQLs, consistently.

If you had 100 SQLs in January, you'd need 110 in February, 121 in March, and so on. This shows healthy, accelerating pipeline growth, which is a key indicator for future revenue.

Pipeline Influenced by Marketing

The total value of sales opportunities that marketing had a significant touchpoint with, even if not directly sourced.

Target · Influence >70% of the total sales pipeline for your business unit.

If the total pipeline for the quarter is £20M, marketing should have touched at least £14M of that, showing our broad impact beyond just 'new' leads.

Strategic Alignment with Sales

How well your demand generation strategy supports and integrates with the sales organisation's goals and efforts.

Sales leadership actively seeks your input on GTM strategy
joint planning sessions are productive and lead to clear, shared objectives
sales teams consistently report satisfaction with lead quality and follow-up processes. You're seen as a true partner, not just a service provider.

Team Development & Retention

The effectiveness of your leadership in building, mentoring, and retaining a high-performing demand generation team.

Low voluntary turnover within your direct and indirect teams
clear career paths and development plans for your managers
positive feedback in 360-degree reviews
internal promotions from your team to more senior roles. Your team members feel supported and see a future here.

MarTech Stack Optimisation

The strategic selection, integration, and optimisation of marketing technology to maximise efficiency and impact.

Regular audits and improvements to the MarTech stack
successful integration projects that reduce manual work or provide new capabilities
clear ROI demonstrated for significant tech investments
your team uses the tools effectively to drive results.

Market Insight & Innovation

Your ability to identify emerging market trends, competitive shifts, and new technologies, and translate them into innovative demand generation strategies.

Regular presentations to the C-suite on market opportunities
successful pilot programmes for new channels or technologies
your team is often first to market with new approaches
you're seen as an industry thought leader internally and sometimes externally.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Driving Tangible Business Growth

You'll get a real kick out of seeing your strategies directly contribute to revenue figures. Every board report, every sales win, every increase in pipeline velocity will be a direct reflection of your team's impact.

You'll be the one presenting the Q4 revenue contribution from marketing to the CEO, showing a clear line from your team's efforts to the company's success.

Building & Mentoring High-Performing Teams

You'll spend a good chunk of your time coaching your managers, helping them develop their teams, and fostering a culture of excellence. Seeing your people grow and take on bigger challenges will be a huge source of satisfaction.

You'll celebrate when a manager on your team successfully launches a complex new programme or when a junior team member gets promoted, knowing you helped create that opportunity.

Shaping Organisational Strategy

You won't just execute; you'll be at the table influencing the company's overall go-to-market strategy, product launches, and market expansion plans. Your insights will directly inform executive decisions.

You'll be part of the core leadership team defining next year's target markets and how marketing will penetrate them, not just taking orders.

What frustrates people

Navigating internal politics and getting buy-in from various department heads who might have conflicting priorities.
The 'blame game' when sales misses targets, with marketing often being the first scapegoat for 'bad leads'.
Managing a large team means dealing with performance issues, interpersonal conflicts, and the constant need for recruitment and retention.
The sheer volume of data and the challenge of distilling it into clear, actionable insights for executive consumption.
Budget constraints that force difficult trade-offs between strategic investments and immediate lead generation needs.
The constant need to justify marketing spend and demonstrate clear ROI to a skeptical C-suite or board.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, solitary work environment where you can just focus on your own tasks—this is a highly collaborative and visible role.
Guaranteed stability or predictability; the market and our business needs are constantly evolving, requiring frequent strategic adjustments.
An escape from difficult conversations; you'll regularly be giving tough feedback, making hard decisions, and defending your team's performance.
The luxury of avoiding technical details; while strategic, you'll still need to understand the underlying MarTech stack and data intricacies.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the top-line revenue for an entire business unit, typically £2M-£10M+. You're shaping the go-to-market strategy, influencing product roadmaps, and ensuring the sales organisation has the fuel it needs. Your decisions here can make or break quarterly and annual targets, and you'll often present directly to the board on pipeline health and marketing ROI.

Outside the business

Industry Analysts
Major Customers (for feedback and advocacy)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven track record of leading and scaling demand generation functions for at least 5-8 years, ideally within a B2B SaaS or similar high-growth environment.
Demonstrated success in managing budgets of £1M+ and consistently achieving or exceeding pipeline and revenue targets.
Extensive experience building, developing, and retaining high-performing teams, including managing managers.
Deep expertise in designing and optimising complex MarTech stacks, including CRM and marketing automation platforms.
Strong analytical skills, with a proven ability to use data to drive strategic decisions and present compelling business cases to executive leadership.
A clear understanding of the full sales and marketing funnel, from top-of-funnel awareness to closed-won revenue, and how to optimise each stage.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Composability in MarTech Architecture

The traditional monolithic MarTech stack is giving way to a more flexible, 'composable' approach where best-of-breed tools are integrated via APIs. Understanding this allows you to build a more agile, scalable, and future-proof marketing ecosystem that can adapt to changing business needs without costly overhauls.

API-First Integrations · Microservices Architecture in Marketing · Data Orchestration Layers · Vendor Lock-in Mitigation

This quarter: Research the MACH Alliance (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) principles and how they apply to MarTech.
Next 6 months: Identify one area of our current MarTech stack that could benefit from a more composable approach; draft a proposal for a pilot.
Next 12 months: Lead a project to implement a new composable component into our MarTech stack, demonstrating its benefits.
Ongoing: Engage with industry experts and consultants on composable architecture best practices and emerging trends.

Quick win: Start by mapping out your current MarTech stack and identifying any 'single points of failure' or areas where a more modular approach would offer greater flexibility.

Web3 & Decentralised Marketing Principles

While still nascent, Web3 technologies (blockchain, NFTs, metaverse) are poised to fundamentally change how brands interact with customers, offering new models for ownership, community, and data privacy. As a Director, you need to understand these shifts to identify future opportunities and threats, ensuring our demand generation strategy remains relevant.

Blockchain Fundamentals for Marketing · NFTs for Community & Engagement · Metaverse Marketing Strategies · Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) in Marketing

This quarter: Read introductory books or courses on Web3, blockchain, and NFTs. Get a foundational understanding.
Next 6 months: Identify 1-2 potential Web3 applications for demand generation relevant to our business unit; conduct a small-scale experiment or proof-of-concept.
Next 12 months: Develop a 'Web3 readiness' report for the C-suite, outlining potential opportunities, risks, and a roadmap for exploration.
Ongoing: Follow leading Web3 marketing thought leaders and attend virtual events to stay updated on this rapidly evolving space.

Quick win: Join a few relevant Web3 communities on platforms like Discord or Twitter. Just observing the conversations can give you a feel for the landscape and the language.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences (e.g., Marketing Nation Summit, Dreamforce, Festival of Marketing) to stay abreast of trends and network with peers.
Participate in executive-level peer groups or mentorship programmes to share insights and learn from other senior leaders.
Contribute to industry thought leadership through articles, webinars, or speaking engagements, positioning yourself and the company as an expert.
Pursue ongoing learning in areas like AI, data science, or advanced business strategy through online courses or executive education.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Ethical AI & Data Governance

With AI becoming central to everything from content creation to predictive analytics, the ethical implications and regulatory scrutiny are exploding. Companies need leaders who can navigate this minefield, ensuring AI use is responsible, unbiased, and compliant. Get this wrong, and you're looking at huge fines and reputational damage.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

Sustainability & ESG Marketing Integration

Customers, investors, and employees increasingly demand that companies demonstrate strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. Integrating sustainability into our demand generation messaging and strategy isn't just good PR; it's becoming a critical differentiator and a driver of customer loyalty. Ignore it, and you'll lose market share.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Director of Demand Generation is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Ethics, Fairness and Explanation in Artificial IntelligenceLevel 7

Applied to your work in Director of Demand Generation

1. To enable the learner to articulate the fundamental ethical dilemmas arising from advancements in artificial intelligence, drawing connections to relevant philosophical frameworks. 2. To enable the learner to critically evaluate the nuances of AI safety and AI alignment debates, considering diverse perspectives and proposed solutions. 3. To enable the learner to identify and explain various sources of bias present within machine learning algorithms and datasets. 4. To enable the learner to apply and interpret common metrics used to quantify bias in AI systems, demonstrating practical measurement skills. 5. To enable the learner to describe and compare different algorithmic fairness approaches designed to mitigate bias, selecting appropriate methods for specific scenarios. 6. To enable the learner to conduct empirical analysis, utilising relevant libraries and tools, to assess and address bias and fairness in machine learning models.

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, as a Director, your time is precious. You're meant to be thinking strategically, building teams, and driving growth, not getting bogged down in endless reports or tactical reviews. The good news? AI isn't just for junior roles; it's a game-changer for senior leaders too.

Imagine having an AI assistant that helps you distill complex market data, forecast pipeline health with greater accuracy, and even draft executive summaries. We're not talking about replacing your strategic brain, but augmenting it. Our AI Productivity Hub shows you how to use these tools to free up your strategic capacity, allowing you to focus on what truly moves the needle for the business unit.

Predictive Pipeline Forecasting

Use AI-powered models to forecast future lead volume, MQL-to-SQL conversion rates, and pipeline value with significantly higher accuracy. This means better resource planning and more reliable revenue predictions for the C-suite.

Automated Executive Reporting

Generate comprehensive board-level reports and executive summaries in minutes, not hours. AI can pull data from various sources, highlight key trends, and even draft initial interpretations, allowing you to focus on strategic insights and recommendations.

MarTech Stack Optimisation AI

Leverage AI tools to analyse your current MarTech stack's performance, identify redundancies, suggest integration improvements, and even evaluate new vendor solutions based on your specific requirements and budget. This helps you make smarter tech investments.

Strategic Market Trend Analysis

Use AI to rapidly analyse vast amounts of market research, competitor activity, and industry reports. Get concise summaries of emerging trends, potential threats, and new opportunities, giving you a serious edge in shaping your demand generation strategy.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Director of Demand Generation, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 2 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Director of Demand Generation: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles at Level 7

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The strategic and leadership skills you'll develop in this role are highly transferable. You could move into similar Director or VP-level roles in other B2B SaaS companies, or even transition into consulting, private equity, or venture capital, advising other companies on their growth strategies. The ability to drive revenue is always in demand.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.
