About the Role:

The Director of Growth Marketing owns eSentire’s paid media, SEO/AEO, and website conversion strategy, and oversees the content marketing function. This role is accountable for turning eSentire’s digital presence — website, paid search and social, organic search, and content — into measurable, trackable pipeline contribution across both prospect (net-new) and customer (expansion/retention) marketing. The Director partners closely with the web team, the paid media agency, SEO/AEO partners, product marketing, and the content team to keep eSentire’s digital demand engine performing against pipeline and revenue targets.

This role owns website governance — intake, approvals, and roadmap prioritization — and drives conversion rate optimization (CRO), while web design and development execution sit with the web team. The role requires a strong understanding of B2B marketing strategy, demand generation, conversion rate optimization, paid media, SEO/AEO best practices, and the cybersecurity industry, including how eSentire’s positioning and messaging compete against top competitors.

Drive continuous conversion rate optimization (CRO) across the website — using tools such as VWO and Mouseflow to run structured A/B tests, improve on-site conversion paths, and increase pipeline yield from existing traffic.

Own and manage the paid media agency relationship to implement, test, and optimize an always-on paid media strategy across paid search, paid social, and display, including support for international markets.

Own digital demand generation strategy — including ICP-based campaigns and structured A/B testing across landing pages, ads, and offers — in partnership with the campaigns team.

Serve as the internal decision-maker for AEO/SEO strategy — partnering with LQ Digital on content retention/removal decisions, pillar page strategy, and AEO prioritization — to improve top search term performance, grow ICP traffic, and…
