Senior Demand Generation Manager

New York · Full-time · From April 2026 Who we are Formance is building the financial infrastructure for the hybrid economy, the world where money moves across fiat, crypto, and every payment rail in between. Our unified ledger gives digital asset companies, vertical SaaS platforms, and regulated financial institutions the speed, flexibility, and compliance-grade trust they need to build money movement products without compromise. We're a YC S21 company backed by a $21M Series A led by PayPal Ventures and top-tier investors. Customers include leading crypto exchanges, neobanks, payment platforms, and fintech infrastructure companies. Our market is expanding fast, product-market fit is real, deals are closing at record pace, and retention is strong. Today our pipeline is fully organic — it's time to accelerate. This role is the opportunity to build demand generation from the ground up: create the playbook, experiment across channels (events, email, ABM, ads, gifting, and more), and build the machine that takes us from Series A to the next level. You'll be at the coalface with a specific focus on AEO/SEO and paid, with room to experiment in partnerships, customer marketing, and PLG distribution. We're looking for someone who thinks about demand generation with a point of view, will thrive in a hyper-growth environment, and loves working collaboratively within a team that troubleshoots together, shares learnings, and wins together. What you'll own This is a full-ownership IC role. You own the Inbound SQL number. You orchestrate two top-tier agencies, build the in-house demand gen muscle, and are the operator accountable for marketing's pipeline contribution. Lead generation Build the machine. Design and implement Formance's inbound lead generation infrastructure from the ground up, building repeatable and scalable acquisition motions for our core ICPs. Own the channels. Own and manage ad spend across relevant paid channels (LinkedIn, Google, Reddit, X), AEO/SEO, online events, and ABM plays. Campaign architecture. Build the campaign calendar. Define channel mix and budget allocation. Launch new channels as the data supports them (X, Reddit, crypto-native placements). Agency orchestration. Run relationships with external providers on paid and AEO/SEO. Drive accountability, evaluate performance, generate results. Explore and test. Scale new channels, messaging, personas you run the tests, read the signal, and or kill fast. Operations Marketing-sales partnership. We frame GTM as one revenue engine, from first expression of interest to expansion. Create the feedback loop that pushes sales on lead follow-up and pulls feedback on lead quality: both directions, every week. Conversion optimization. Introduce and optimize lead conversion mechanisms across multiple surface areas (website, content, email, etc.). Reporting and attribution. Own the marketing performance report. Ensure the lead generation funnel is tracked end-to-end: UTMs, attribution, lead scoring, CRM integration, conversion tracking.

You can walk through a funnel model. Analytical chops. Self-sufficient with a spreadsheet. You know your way around HubSpot and the ad platforms. Funnel models, LTV/CAC, cohort analysis — you know how to get the numbers and tell the story behind them. Technical audience fluency. You've marketed a technical product to engineers or developers. You understand why marketing to developers is different from marketing to generic B2B buyers. Early-stage adaptability. You've worked at a Series A-B and thrived in ambiguity. You can execute campaigns hands-on while building the foundations of our demand gen strategy. Communication and presence. You can run a weekly marketing meeting, present data with a point of view, and bring up a challenge.
