Sophos is seeking a Senior Marketing Manager, Lead Lifecycle & Conversion to join our Global Growth Marketing team and own the strategy for how prospects progress through the buying journey – from initial engagement and qualification through to opportunity and revenue.
This role will bring together lifecycle strategy, nurture, buying signals, lead management and conversion optimization to create more connected, relevant experiences for Sophos prospects. Working across Growth Marketing, Marketing Operations, SDR, Sales and Revenue Operations, you will identify where prospects stall or disengage and develop programs that improve progression, conversion and pipeline outcomes.
This is not a traditional nurture marketing role. We are looking for someone who can think across the entire funnel, use data and buying signals to understand customer behaviour, and build a lifecycle strategy that turns engagement into measurable business outcomes.
What You Will Do
What You Will Bring
- 7+ years of B2B marketing experience, ideally across lifecycle marketing, demand generation, growth marketing or marketing operations.
- Strong understanding of complex B2B buying journeys, preferably within SaaS, enterprise technology or cybersecurity.
- Demonstrated experience developing lifecycle, nurture or demand programs that drive measurable pipeline and revenue outcomes.
- Strong understanding of lead management, scoring, qualification, routing and recycling.
- Experience using CRM, marketing automation and ABM/intent platforms such as Salesforce, Marketo/Eloqua and 6sense or equivalent.
- Strong analytical capability, with experience using funnel and conversion data to identify problems and drive action.
- Experience partnering with Sales, SDR, Marketing Operations and Revenue Operations teams.
- Ability to influence and drive change across a complex, global organization without direct authority.
- Commercial mindset with a strong understanding of pipeline, conversion and revenue metrics.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex data and customer journeys into clear recommendations.
- Hands-on experience using AI within marketing workflows, with an interest in how AI can improve journey orchestration, personalization and conversion.
