I’m looking for a growth marketing, ABM demand generation & paid media role where I can own full-funnel paid media and ABM with clear pipeline and profitability KPIs. I want to partner closely with sales/CS, lead creative testing, and use data + AI to scale what works.

Growth Marketing Manager | SaaS, Finance | Paid Media & ABM Demand Generation | £5M+ Ad Spend Managed | Fixing Funnels & Lead Quality
What I'm looking for
🏆 Growth Marketing - Paid Media - ABM - Demand Generation - £5M+ Ad Spend.
Growth Marketing Manager with 6+ years running paid media across Google, Bing, Meta, and LinkedIn, and ABM programs using 6sense, Clay, Apollo, and HeyReach for B2B SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, and financial services.
Managed six-figure monthly budgets with full-funnel accountability, tracking CPL:SQO, LTV:CAC, and payback period across every channel.
My approach: business fundamentals first (CPL:SQO, show rate, close rate, LTV:CAC, churn rate), then the paid media system (offer, hook, ad copy, risk reversal, social proof), then the funnel (landing page, VSL, conversion path). That delivered 89% client renewal and 34% average YoY budget growth from renewing clients.
