The Opportunity

Forge is building the future of home electrification, and we're looking for a hands-on demand generation expert to help us scale.

You'll own demand generation end-to-end, partnering closely with sales and leadership to drive pipeline, improve conversion, and fuel growth. Reporting directly to the CRO, you'll inherit a strong foundation—proven acquisition channels, a robust HubSpot instance, and executive support—but you'll be expected to take it much further.

This is not a corporate marketing role. It's a scrappy startup builder role. You'll set the strategy, generate ideas, and execute the work—often all in the same day.

We're looking for a true demand gen operator: strategic, highly hands-on, and energized by building. If you thrive in ambiguity and love rolling up your sleeves, you’re in the right place.

What You'll Own

Demand Generation

• Own pipeline generation across the full funnel, from lead acquisition through qualification.
• Scale and optimize our core acquisition channels, including referrals, paid search, radio, and SEO.
• Identify, test, and expand into new growth channels, including content, partnerships, influencer, and emerging AI search platforms.
• Hire and partner with freelance specialists where it makes sense, while maintaining deep ownership internally.
• Build and execute campaigns that create consistent demand throughout the year and protect us from seasonal dips.

Content & Brand

• Develop compelling messaging that differentiates Forge.
• Write and publish high-quality content, including blog posts, landing pages, and campaign assets, with support from our content team.
• Ensure every campaign reflects a clear, consistent brand voice.

Revenue Operations

• Own HubSpot as the central source of truth for sales and pipeline performance.
• Improve attribution, lead routing, reporting, and funnel visibility.
• Build dashboards and reporting that help the business understand what's working and where to invest next.
• Continuously optimize the systems, workflows, and tools that power growth.

Sales Enablement

• Own and optimize how leads move through HubSpot, including routing, lifecycle stages, and sales workflows. Identify friction in the funnel and fix it—especially anything slowing down speed-to-lead or follow-up.
• Optimize the tools, workflows, and automations that help sales move faster and close more—whether that’s a better deck, a new follow-up sequence, or fixing something broken in HubSpot.
• Partner closely with Sales and RevOps to improve lead flow, pipeline visibility, and conversion.
• Jump in where needed to support deals and help the team win.

Team & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Manage and mentor a very small internal marketing team.
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Revenue Operations, Finance, and Leadership.
• Make a case for, hire, and work effectively with external freelancers.

What Success Looks Like

In your first few months, you'll quickly assess our existing engine, identify gaps, and prioritize the highest-impact opportunities.

Over time, you'll diversify our acquisition mix, improve funnel efficiency, strengthen attribution, and build a scalable demand generation machine that can support our next stage of growth.

Most importantly, you'll help Forge grow faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
