We’re a small but growing team looking to revolutionize the way organizations share and consume knowledge. We’re looking for an experienced marketer, who is ready to roll up their sleeves and own demand generation at Guru (www.getguru.com). After publicly launching in September with a product that our customers truly love, we are now ready to scale our demand gen efforts to drive awareness and more leads at the top of the funnel.

Knowledge management is a critical need for all companies as soon as they start hiring team members. Almost 30% of a knowledge worker’s time is spent just searching for content and information. More importantly, once you do find that knowledge, how do you know if it’s still accurate? With our browser extension, we live where you work and our verification workflow ensures content is always up-to-date. We are even working on eliminating search altogether, by surfacing knowledge contextually to you within the business apps you use everyday. 

We already have a solid customer base, and now it’s time for marketing to help us ramp our growth to the next level. While we have tested several different ad channels, we need someone who can come in and scale out our efforts, efficiently and effectively.

As our Demand Generation Lead, you’ll own everything to do with driving qualified leads into our sales pipeline: strategy, planning, and making it happen. You'll be expected to deploy a diverse mix of marketing channels and tactics. You'll own specific lead gen goals; you'll devise how we report out to the rest of the organization on our progress; and you'll explore and recommend new channels to drive acquisition marketing results. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of the ground floor of building a great company (and marketing team culture) and will play a critical role in driving our success.
