Senior Marketing Operations Manager (USA)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 1, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jun 30, 2026. DroneDeploy scores B on the Alion truth index.
Role Overview
As the Senior Marketing Operations Manager, you will design and run the foundational systems that power DroneDeploy’s go-to-market strategy. Reporting to the Head of Marketing Operations, your primary focus is on the inbound funnel and campaign operations (lead capture, campaign intake, production, and channel reporting). While the Head of Marketing Ops will focus on the outbound funnel and ABM strategy, the two areas are deeply connected so you'll jointly shape both.
This is a senior individual contributor role who will partner closely with the Head of Marketing Ops to build the AI infrastructure from the ground up. You will shape how tools like Marketo, Salesforce, Clay, Claude CoWork, Glean, Gemini and related platforms work together, and you will set the operating standards that Demand Gen Managers, Field Marketers, and BDRs rely on every day.
You will work directly with senior GTM leaders, including the VP of Demand Generation and senior directors in Comms, Business Development, and Revenue Operations. Your strategy is the backbone to their success, so you will be in lockstep on setting strategic priorities and measuring performance.
Work Environment
Work from Home: This role is based in the United States. DroneDeploy operates in a remote-first environment. This role works closely with partners across Marketing, Revenue Operations, Sales, and GTM Engineering, so consistent overlap with US-based teams is important.
Business Travel: Minimal travel is expected, with occasional domestic travel for team planning, onsite collaboration, or company events.
AI tooling: AI is part of how this team operates. This role is expected to lead adoption of AI-powered workflows across the GTM stack, using tools such as Clay, Claude CoWork, Glean, and Gemini to improve campaign execution, data quality, and funnel performance.
Responsibilities
Scope and production: collaborate with Demand Gen Managers and Field Marketers in launching marketing programs (emails, webinars, paid ad, event). Manage the intake, define target segments, and build assets in Marketo and related tools
AI-powered workflows: lead AI adoption and techstack design (current mix: Clay, Claude CoWork, Glean, Gemini). Beyond streamlining execution, you identify gaps in the funnel and deploy workflows to close them
Partner with marketers: translate new, ambiguous go-to-market requests into structured programs and processes, as both the strategist and builder.
Database health: partner with Legal to ensure compliance (GDPR, CCPA) and minimize degradation of contactable database
Data hygiene: ensure marketing and sales data are complete/accurate to support critical workflows (e.g. account prioritization, lead scoring, routing)
Data optimization: design and optimize the infrastructure to support growing lead enrichment and contact acquisition needs from ABM
End-to-end funnel health: own form management and partner with the web team on conversion optimization. Maintain sync between core systems (Marketo, Salesforce).
Drive lifecycle management: In collaboration with the Head of MOPs, optimize lead scoring, personas, and segmentation to support both inbound motions and ABM
ROI Reporting and Attribution: design and maintain the piping (UTM, campaign structure) to connect marketing spend to pipeline
