The Calling:

The VP of Marketing is a senior leadership role on the Revenue Team and is responsible for driving brand awareness, demand generation, and revenue growth. Reporting to the CRO, you will own the full marketing function — from strategy and messaging to team leadership and execution. This is an opportunity to build a high-impact marketing engine at a mission-driven company with meaningful market traction.

What You Will Achieve:

Marketing Strategy

• Own a marketing strategy that directly accelerates growth — one that connects brand positioning, buyer education, and pipeline growth into a coherent, measurable system.
• Give Branching Minds a clear, consistent voice in the market: a narrative that resonates with district leaders, stands apart from competitors, and holds up across every channel and audience.
• Equip the whole organization to communicate consistently — keeping Sales, CS, and Product aligned on messaging and confident in how they tell the Branching Minds story.
• Partner closely with Revenue Operations to build a strong marketing data and analytics foundation, track performance against revenue goals, identify what’s working, and reallocate quickly when it isn’t.
• Optimize the channel mix to increase customer lifetime value and reduce acquisition costs over time — and bring a rigorous, test-and-learn mindset to any new channel investment.
• Stay ahead of the market so Branching Minds leads conversations rather than reacts to them — monitoring competitive moves, policy shifts, and buyer trends that shape the MTSS landscape.
• Stay deeply curious about buyer behavior — using research, data, and direct feedback from the field to build campaigns and content that actually resonate with district leaders.

Demand Generation

• Build a pipeline engine that sales can rely on — consistent, high-quality lead flow from multi-channel campaigns that reach the right buyers at the right moment.
• Build a true partnership with Sales: align on lead quality standards, set shared pipeline targets, and create feedback loops that make both teams sharper over time.
• Grow revenue from existing customers, not just new ones — by identifying cross-sell and expansion opportunities and building campaigns that drive them.
• Equip the revenue team to win more deals: develop sales enablement content, tools, and programs that shorten sales cycles and increase conversion rates.
• Ensure every touchpoint — ad, email, event, or conversation — reflects a unified brand and message that builds trust with buyers over time.
• Make Branching Minds owned events experiences that strengthen community, showcases impact, and generate real pipeline.
