About Red Rover

Red Rover Sales & Marketing Strategy is one of just two private, full-service B2B agencies in the U.S. that guarantees marketing ROI. Since 2006, we've built a proven process for generating strong, predictable growth for mid-market B2B companies. While we have a strong concentration in manufacturing, industrial, and professional services, we work across a broad range of B2B industries. We don't just build campaigns.

We crash the ceilings limiting our clients' growth — and we put our money where our mouth is with a performance guarantee.

Our founder closes 75% of qualified proposals through deep diagnostic work and founder-to-founder trust. We generate consistent, high-quality leads through a proprietary speaking program with 40+ engagements per year. The engine works. We need someone to run it.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional sales hire. You will be the revenue engine behind a high-performing consultancy — managing every stage of the sales process from lead capture through close, and eventually building and leading a small revenue team beneath you.

In year one, you feed the founder's pipeline and learn the methodology deeply. By month six, you're closing smaller engagements independently. By year two, you own the full sales motion — and you're hiring your own hunter to open a second channel.

This role has real runway. If you want to grow into a Head of Revenue role at a company doing exceptional work, this is it.

What You'll Own

• Speaking Event Ownership (End-to-End)
• Lead Nurturing & Pipeline Development
• Proposal & Discovery Support
• Team Leadership (Immediate + Future)

Who You Are

Background

• 5-8 years in marketing strategy, B2B consulting, or agency-side business development
• Deep fluency in how mid-market B2B businesses grow through marketing — experience in manufacturing, industrial, or professional services is a plus, though we work across many B2B industries
• Track record of winning business through marketing strategy expertise, not just relationship management
• Comfortable presenting to and building relationships with founders and CEOs
• Strong written communicator — you can draft a proposal that reflects genuine marketing strategy insight and offers clarity into complex subject matter
• Genuinely tech-savvy — fluent in CRM platforms, digital communication tools, and modern sales workflows and automation (Hub Spot experience a big plus)
• AI-proficient — you actively use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to work faster and smarter, not as a novelty

How You're Wired

• You think in marketing strategy first, tactics second
• You're self-directed — you don't need hand holding to own a process
• You're hungry to grow with the company, not just fill a seat
• You thrive on helping founders and CEOs see around corners, on challenging their marketing thinking, and on shaping smarter growth strategies
• You are a natural with understanding data and analytics
• You are a persuasive storyteller
• You persevere despite the obstacles
• You have an insatiable curiosity
• You are highly coachable
• You are known for your problem-solving abilities

Not a Fit If

• Your background is pure sales with shallow marketing strategy depth
• You need a large company infrastructure to perform
• You're not willing or able to travel 15-20 times per year for speaking events and conferences
• You're looking for a role where success is measured by hours logged — we're energized by outcomes, not activity
