Cloudinary is looking for a Director of Digital Marketing, a commercially rigorous, technically fluent growth leader to run our integrated Digital Marketing engine across self-service motions.
As the business owner of growth, you will create demand, improve conversion, build owned acquisition surfaces, and translate growth investment into revenue and pipeline outcomes.

Own Growth Marketing strategy and execution across the self-service PLG funnel, from acquisition through qualified pipeline and new paying accounts.

•
Own performance visibility and measurement. Partner with Data, RevOps, Product and Sales to maintain trusted funnel definitions, diagnose data discrepancies, establish attribution guardrails, and model maturity from lead to pipeline and revenue.
•
Be the business owner for Growth Marketing ROI: create CFO-ready investment cases, distinguish attributed revenue from influenced value and leading indicators, and make capital-allocation recommendations.

Manage and develop a lean, high-output team of employees and specialist contractors; design pod structure, hiring plans, operating processes, quality controls and AI-enabled ways of working.
•
Align senior stakeholders across Product, Web, Content, Design, Sales, RevOps, Finance and leadership, translating growth insights into clear asks, durable ownership and shipped work.
