Demand Generation Manager in Paisley

Are you a commercially minded Demand Generation Manager who understands that marketing is about more than campaigns and clicks? Do you know how to build and optimise marketing funnels, challenge agency performance and ensure marketing activity translates into high-quality pipeline and revenue? This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-growing SaaS business with an established customer base, a strong reputation in its market and ambitious plans for growth.

We are looking for a Demand Generation Manager to take ownership of the end-to-end demand generation function, ensuring that marketing activity is driving measurable business outcomes and delivering a consistent flow of Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) and Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs). This is not a traditional marketing role. This is a highly commercial, data-led position for someone who understands how demand generation directly impacts sales performance, pipeline growth and revenue. You will be empowered to make decisions, challenge performance and take ownership of what is and is not working. Importantly, this is not a people management role to begin with. Instead, you will manage external agencies and partners, holding them accountable for delivery, results and return on investment.

The Role

• Own and optimise the end-to-end demand generation funnel from lead acquisition through to MQL, SQL and revenue generation
• Define, monitor and improve MQL and SQL performance metrics
• Work closely with sales leadership to improve lead quality, conversion rates and pipeline contribution
• Manage and hold external marketing agencies accountable for campaign delivery and performance
• Analyse campaign effectiveness, attribution and return on investment
• Identify what is and is not working and make recommendations based on data
• Coordinate multi-channel campaigns across internal stakeholders and agency partners
• Monitor pipeline performance and identify bottlenecks within the funnel
• Present clear reporting and insights to senior leadership
• Ensure marketing activity remains commercially focused and aligned to growth targets
• Support demand generation initiatives designed to increase customer acquisition and revenue growth
• Manage campaign priorities, budgets and deadlines effectively
• Drive continuous improvement across lead generation and nurture activities
