1What this role really is

This isn't just about running campaigns; it's about owning them, end-to-end. You'll be the person who designs the strategy, gets everyone on board, and then actually makes it happen. We're talking about integrated B2B campaigns that don't just look pretty, but genuinely drive pipeline and revenue. You'll be the go-to person for specific campaigns, making sure they hit their marks and really move the business forward.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

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.

MQL-to-SQL Conversion Rate
The percentage of Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) that Sales accepts as Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs). This tells us if we're sending Sales the right stuff.
Target · Achieve a consistent 20% conversion rate or higher for your campaigns.

If your campaign generates 100 MQLs, we'd expect at least 20 of those to be accepted as SQLs by the sales team.

Marketing-Sourced Pipeline
The total value of sales opportunities that originate directly from your marketing campaigns.
Target · Contribute £1.5M - £2M in new marketing-sourced pipeline per quarter.

Your Q2 campaign for our new integration software generated £1.8M in pipeline, directly leading to 5 new sales opportunities.

Campaign ROI (Return on Investment)
The revenue generated from a campaign compared to its cost. We want to know if our spend is actually making us money.
Target · Maintain a minimum 3:1 ROI for all major campaigns.

A campaign costing £50K that eventually closes £150K in revenue would be a 3:1 ROI – that's the sweet spot.

Website Conversion Rate (Key Landing Pages)
The percentage of visitors to your campaign landing pages who complete a desired action, like downloading an asset or requesting a demo.
Target · Improve conversion rates on key campaign landing pages by 10% quarter-over-quarter.

Your new landing page for the 'Data Security' whitepaper saw its conversion rate jump from 8% to 9.5% after you tweaked the headline and CTA.

Sales & Marketing Alignment
How well Marketing and Sales work together. Are we on the same page about lead quality, messaging, and follow-up?
  • Sales leadership actively seeks your input on GTM plans
  • Sales reps consistently provide feedback on campaign leads
  • Joint planning sessions are productive and lead to clear actions
  • You're seen as a trusted partner, not just a lead generator.
Strategic Campaign Design
The thoughtfulness and effectiveness of your campaign strategies. Do they address real business problems and target the right audience?
  • Campaign plans clearly articulate target personas, pain points, and desired business outcomes
  • Campaigns are multi-channel and integrated, not just one-off tactics
  • Your strategies are adopted by other teams as best practice
  • You can clearly defend your approach to senior leadership.
Mentorship & Team Contribution
How you help develop junior team members and contribute to the overall knowledge and capability of the Marketing team.
  • Junior team members regularly seek your advice
  • You lead internal training sessions or share best practices
  • Your code reviews (for Marketo programmes, for example) are constructive and helpful
  • You proactively identify skill gaps and suggest solutions.
Adaptability & Problem-Solving
Your ability to adjust campaign plans when things go sideways (and they will) and find creative solutions to unexpected challenges.
  • You quickly pivot campaign elements when performance dips
  • You propose innovative solutions to budget constraints
  • You maintain composure and find a way forward when a key vendor lets us down
  • You learn from campaign failures and apply those lessons to future work.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Direct Business Impact

You get a real buzz from seeing your campaigns directly contribute to new sales opportunities and closed-won revenue. You're constantly checking pipeline reports and celebrating wins with the sales team.

That moment when a sales rep tells you, 'That whitepaper you launched? It just closed a £100K deal!' That's what gets you out of bed.

Solving Complex Go-to-Market Puzzles

You love figuring out how to reach a niche audience, craft compelling messaging for a complex product, and orchestrate multiple channels to achieve a specific business outcome. It's like a strategic game.

When a new product launches, you're excited to map out the entire GTM plan, from persona research to lead nurture flows, knowing it's a big challenge to crack.

Building & Optimising Systems

You enjoy setting up scalable processes for campaign execution, refining lead scoring models, and making sure our marketing tech stack is working efficiently. You like bringing order to chaos.

You're always looking for ways to automate a repetitive task in Marketo or build a better dashboard in Tableau to track campaign performance.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Leaky Bucket' of Sales Follow-up: Generating thousands of high-quality MQLs only to see them sit untouched in the Salesforce queue for weeks, then getting blamed for 'poor lead quality.'
  • Attribution as a Dark Art: Fighting a constant battle to prove ROI when the sales cycle is long and involves many untrackable touchpoints.
  • The CFO Who Sees Marketing as a Cost Centre: The endless cycle of justifying your existence and budget with lagging indicators.
  • 'Dirty Data' Sabotage: Your brilliant segmentation and personalisation strategy rendered useless by a CRM filled with duplicates and missing info.
  • The 'HiPPO' Request: When the Highest Paid Person's Opinion derails your data-driven quarterly plan with a shiny new idea.
  • Last-Minute GTM Scrambles: Product team announcing a major change a week before go-live, forcing frantic updates to every asset.
  • Accountability Without Authority: Being held 100% accountable for marketing-sourced revenue, but having 0% authority over sales rep performance or product-market fit.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 where every day is the same.
  • Complete autonomy without needing to justify your decisions with data.
  • A role where you only focus on creative output without caring about numbers.
  • Instant gratification for every piece of work you produce.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to generate marketing-sourced and marketing-influenced pipeline, which is crucial for hitting our overall revenue targets. You'll be instrumental in shaping how we go to market with new products and solutions, ensuring we're reaching the right buyers with the right message at the right time. Frankly, without strong campaign leadership, our sales team would be left scrambling for leads, and our growth would stall.

Inside the business
  • Sales Leadership (VP of Sales, Sales Directors)
  • Product Marketing team
  • Content Marketing team
  • Digital Marketing Specialists (Paid Media, SEO)
  • Sales Operations & Enablement
Outside the business
  • Marketing agencies (creative, media buying)
  • Technology vendors (e.g., Marketo, 6sense)
  • Industry event organisers
  • Key partners for co-marketing initiatives

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven track record of designing, executing, and optimising multi-channel B2B marketing campaigns that delivered measurable pipeline and revenue.
  • Hands-on, expert-level experience with a major Marketing Automation Platform (ideally Marketo) – you can build complex programmes from scratch.
  • Strong analytical skills, comfortable with data analysis in Google Analytics and building dashboards in Tableau (or similar BI tools).
  • Experience collaborating directly with B2B sales teams and understanding their needs and challenges.
  • A portfolio or examples of successful B2B marketing campaigns you've personally led.
  • Experience mentoring or guiding junior marketing professionals.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced MarTech Stack Orchestration

Our marketing technology stack is getting more complex, with more tools needing to 'talk' to each other. Simply knowing how to use Marketo isn't enough; you'll need to understand how Marketo, Salesforce, 6sense, and our data warehouse all integrate and share information. This will be crucial for building truly seamless, data-driven campaigns and troubleshooting issues when data goes missing.

API Integrations & Webhooks · Data Flow Mapping · Data Governance & Hygiene · Troubleshooting Data Discrepancies

  • This week: Spend an hour with our Sales Operations team to understand how Salesforce is configured and what data is critical for them.
  • This month: Map out the current data flow between Marketo and Salesforce. Identify any potential points of failure or manual steps.
  • Month 2: Take an online course on API basics or integration concepts. You don't need to code, but understanding the principles helps.
  • Month 3: Shadow our MarTech Ops specialist (if we have one) for a day to see how they troubleshoot integration issues.

Quick win: Proactively audit a recent campaign's data flow from initial capture to Salesforce. Did all the data make it across correctly? If not, figure out why.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attend industry webinars and virtual conferences (e.g., MarketingProfs, SiriusDecisions/Forrester, B2B Marketing Exchange).
  • Subscribe to leading B2B marketing blogs and newsletters (e.g., Sangram Vajre, Chris Walker, Dave Gerhardt).
  • Participate in online communities or forums for Marketo users or B2B marketers to share knowledge and troubleshoot.
  • Take advanced courses on specific topics like multi-touch attribution, advanced segmentation, or sales enablement.
  • Mentor junior marketers or volunteer for internal projects that stretch your strategic thinking.

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: AI-Powered Content Personalisation at Scale

Our competitors are already using AI to dynamically generate and personalise content for individual accounts or even specific personas within an account. This isn't just about 'Dear [First Name]'; it's about showing them a case study relevant to their industry, company size, and specific pain points. If we don't keep up, our messaging will feel generic and get ignored.

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

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 Senior B2B Marketing Manager 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

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:

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.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, B2B marketing involves a lot of repetitive tasks and digging through mountains of data. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work and focus on the really strategic stuff? That's where AI comes in. We're embracing tools that help you work smarter, not just harder.

In this Senior B2B Marketing Manager role, you'll find AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical co-pilot. From drafting compelling ad copy to spotting in-market accounts, AI can free up significant time, letting you focus on the creative strategy and deep analysis that truly moves the needle. It's not about replacing your brain, but augmenting it.

Automated Lead Scoring & Routing

Use AI models (like Einstein in Salesforce or native tools in Marketo) to analyse hundreds of signals – demographic, firmographic, behavioural – to prioritise the hottest leads. Then, route them instantly to the right sales rep, cutting out manual review and getting sales on the phone faster.

Intent Data Analysis

Leverage the AI in platforms like 6sense to sift through billions of web signals and surface the 5% of your target accounts that are in-market *right now*. This replaces guesswork with a data-driven priority list for your ABM campaigns, making your outreach far more effective.

Persona & Messaging First Drafts

Feed customer interview transcripts, support tickets, and G2 reviews into a generative AI tool. Ask it to generate initial drafts of ICP definitions, pain points, and value-prop messaging for different personas. This seriously accelerates your GTM planning process and gets you to a solid draft much quicker.

Executive Summary Generation

Got a stack of raw campaign performance data (spend, clicks, leads, pipeline)? Pop it into an AI tool and ask it to write a concise, one-paragraph executive summary for your weekly leadership update. It translates raw data into a business narrative instantly, saving you valuable time on reporting.

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 Senior B2B Marketing Manager, 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 12 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 Senior B2B Marketing Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Other roles at Level 5

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 skills you'll build here—strategic campaign leadership, deep MarTech expertise, B2B buyer understanding, and revenue accountability—are highly transferable across various B2B sectors, especially in SaaS, technology, and professional services. You could easily move into a similar role in another industry or even transition into a more specialised MarTech consulting role.
