About the role
- This is a new role at Katana, and a foundational one.
- Free has some foundations and needs sharpening.
- Core has a running paid engine with some inefficiencies to fix.
Responsibilities
- Own paid acquisition strategy across Google Ads, LinkedIn, Meta, and Reddit - where we invest, what we test, how we allocate budget
- Design experiments with a clear hypothesis and success criteria, direct our performance agency on execution, and decide what scales or dies based on results
- Lead the performance agency relationship: brief campaigns, review work, hold them accountable to pipeline outcomes
- Build the ABM motion for Advantage from scratch: define account selection criteria, build the target account list, and design the campaign structure
- Design an ABM approach that fits how we actually sell - not a hyper-personalized list of 20 accounts, and not a mass, un-targeted list either.
- Build nurture sequences suited to a longer B2B sales cycle - not a generic drip
- Partner closely with our Account Executives and Solutions Engineers so acquisition programs align with sales priorities, handoffs are clean, and real pipeline intelligence feeds back into campaign strategy
- Build the trust and working model between marketing and sales for Advantage from the ground up
- Opportunity to have a real impact at a global growth company and own a domain that directly drives revenue
Requirements
- You have deep, proven ABM experience - you've either built a program from scratch yourself, or been close enough to the center of one across multiple companies that you've seen it succeed and seen it fail.
- You know what a strong program actually looks like, you can spot what's going wrong in someone else's, and you know what to do about it.
- You can name a program, the ICP, the channel mix, and the outcome - and explain why you built it that way and what you'd do differently
- You can look at attribution data, identify what is and isn't actually correlated to revenue, and reallocate budget accordingly - not just report on CTR and CPM
- You can look at a dashboard full of data and quickly spot what's off - what's a benchmark issue versus a real problem - and know exactly what to do about it on the spot.
- You can direct and hold an external performance agency accountable to pipeline outcomes, not just campaign activity
- You can explain a specific campaign or program you killed - and why
- Familiarity with HubSpot, GA4, and customer data platforms (learnable if you're strong everywhere else)
- Experience in the Free plan / PLG side of acquisition
Skills
- Work with our content writer and designer so nurture content is grounded in what prospects actually need, not just what we want to say
- Kill or rebuild what isn't moving pipeline
- Connect low-level attribution events to SQL and closed-won data so you know which programs are real
- Use AI tools daily to surface patterns and move faster than manual analysis allows - this is baseline, not a differentiator
- Bring insight to marketing, sales, and product in a way that changes decisions, not just informs them
- Make sure paid and organic acquisition reinforce each other, including AEO
- Feed performance data back into content strategy
- Final decisions are always made by people.
- Ask us anytime about what this means.
Compensation
- A competitive, market-aligned salary and employee stock options
Benefits

- Time off that's genuinely encouraged: statutory annual leave aligned with local requirements, with a global minimum of 4 weeks, 3 paid health days annually, and your birthday off

Company info
- Work with a talented, highly committed, global team across marketing, product, sales, and beyond - distributed and hybrid, with one office in Tallinn, Estonia
- Flexible, remote-first work (we are a results-driven team)
