First or second marketing hire at a B2B SaaS startup where the GTM motion needs building. I want to own demand gen, ABM, and pipeline from zero — not slot into an existing team. Seed to Series B, remote.
Gowtham Palanisamy
@gowthampalanisamy
7+ yr B2B SaaS demand marketer. Built pipeline engines at Trengo, Easygenerator & Silver Mine. $150K+/mo. ABM, paid, SEO, GTM.
What I'm looking for
I build demand generation engines from zero for B2B SaaS companies. 7 years across EMEA, APAC, and North America — owning paid, ABM, SEO, and funnel ops end to end.
At Silver Mine Group I managed $150K+/month across Google, Meta, and Bing while cutting CAC 30% and doubling SQL quality. At Trengo I brought paid acquisition in-house (saving $14K/month) and cut SQL acquisition cost 50% through sales-aligned ABM. At Easygenerator I doubled international pipeline through multilingual demand gen across 7+ languages.
Now running the full marketing function at Kingsley Integrators, a B2B SaaS I founded — GTM strategy, content engine, outbound motion, and competitive positioning built from scratch.
I'm looking for a first or second marketing hire role at a seed to Series B startup where the GTM motion needs building, not managing.
