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

  • A competitive, market-aligned salary and employee stock options
  • 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
  • Home office stipend
  • Health & wellness stipend

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)
