The Account-Based Marketing (ABM) Manager is responsible for standing up and scaling a foundational ABM program focused on driving engagement, pipeline creation, and revenue progression within strategic target accounts. This role will define the ABM framework, operationalize target account processes across systems, and launch sales-aligned, multi-channel plays that advance buying groups through the funnel.
The ABM Manager partners cross-functionally—inside and outside the Marketing team—to align strategy, execution, and measurement for ABM success. This role is accountable for performance reporting, insights, and continuous optimization across target account segments and ABM plays.
All activities must be in compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity laws, HIPAA, ERISA and other regulations, as appropriate.
Essential Functions
Define ABM strategy and program architecture (e.g., tiering, prioritization criteria, governance, engagement stages, and measurement), creating a repeatable framework that can scale across specialties and segments.
Establish and maintain a target account management process in Salesforce (e.g., account identification/flagging, segmentation, buying group mapping support, and governance) and ensure target segments can be activated in marketing automation and ABM platforms.
Create and run ABM operating rhythms (weekly/monthly cadences), intake/brief requirements, and cross-functional workflows that enable consistent execution and fast iteration.
Launch and optimize sales-aligned, multi-channel ABM plays (pilot → refine → scale) across target account lists/specialties to drive engagement, pipeline creation, and opportunity progression.
Partner with Sales/BDR leadership to define target account objectives, buying group hypotheses, outreach orchestration, and SLAs; integrate marketing touches with BDR/sales sequences to improve conversion across stages.
Develop account insights and reporting (engagement, coverage, pipeline, and revenue influence), and use test-and-learn experimentation to continuously improve ABM plays, messaging, and channel mix.
Collaborate with Product Marketing, Content/Creative, Events, Sales Enablement, and Client Success to align account messaging, assets, and experiences to priority specialties and target accounts.
Carry out additional responsibilities as assigned based on business need.
