Job Description
Meeting Tomorrow is a 23-year-old company with a growing team of 90 talented, friendly people. We’re headquartered in Chicago, with about 80% of our team working remotely in cities across the country.
We are a full-service event agency with three core divisions: planning, production, and creative. We plan and produce corporate events of every shape and size, partnering with clients that include Fortune 500 companies and leading organizations across a wide array of industries.
We’re known for our exceptional customer experience, our collaborative culture, and our can-do spirit. Our culture has earned us recognition as a Top 20 Inspiring Workplace in North America, as well as the Events Industry Council’s Social Impact Award. We offer great benefits, the best coworkers you’ll find anywhere, and the opportunity to work in a dynamic, team-oriented environment. We can’t wait to meet you!
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Director of Demand Generation to own a qualified pipeline from first touch to sales handoff. You’ll drive leads across three channels: paid advertising (Google, LinkedIn), organic search and SEO, and AI-powered search and LLM visibility (GEO). You’ll report to the VP of Marketing, and partner closely with our Sales team.
This is a builder role. You’ll own the strategy, run the channels, and build the agentic workflows that make the whole machine run more efficiently over time. Your success is measured in the qualified pipeline, not activity.
What You’ll Own
Pipeline end to end: qualified leads across inbound and outbound channels, from first touch to sales handoff
Paid advertising: Google Ads and LinkedIn, with full budget accountability and a bias toward what actually converts
Organic search and SEO: making Meeting Tomorrow’s content and website attractive to Google and ranking for the terms that matter to our buyers
LLM and GEO: growing Meeting Tomorrow’s presence in AI-powered search and recommendation environments
Agentic workflows: building and managing the automations that drive campaign efficiency and compress time-to-pipeline
Demand gen KPIs: CPL, MQL volume and quality, MQL-to-SQL conversion, pipeline contribution, and CAC, with regular visibility to leadership
Budget decisions: full accountability for how demand gen dollars are allocated, with the VP of Marketing in the loop
Key Responsibilities
Build and execute the demand generation roadmap, aligned to revenue targets and Sales priorities
Own SEO strategy and execution: keyword targeting, on-page optimization, content signals, and technical SEO in partnership with the web team
Manage paid media across Google and LinkedIn: campaign structure, targeting, creative testing, and budget allocation
Develop Meeting Tomorrow’s presence in AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) through GEO strategies
Build and iterate on agentic workflows that automate repeatable marketing functions, from lead scoring to outreach sequencing
Run A/B tests and side-by-side comparisons across channels to continuously improve performance
Partner with Sales on lead handoff, pipeline review cadences, and feedback loops
Ensure all outbound programs comply with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and CCPA
Who You Are
You’re a builder. You see a gap, you close it. You don’t wait for someone to tell you how.
You’re entrepreneurial about channels: when something works, you double down. When it doesn’t, you move on and find what does.
You think in systems and automation. The goal is a demand gen function that compounds over time, not one that depends on you doing everything manually.
You treat Sales like a partner, not an internal customer. Pipeline is a team sport.
You can walk into ambiguity, build structure, and make progress without waiting for someone to hand you a playbook.
What You’ve Done
Proven SEO expertise: you know how to make a website and its content rank. You’ve done it, you can show the results, and you understand the technical and content sides of the discipline.
Hands-on experience building AI agents or agentic workflows: not theoretically familiar, not interested in learning. You have built at least one agent that automated something real and you can speak to what it did.
A clear track record of digital lead growth tied to revenue: you can point to a channel you found or optimized and tell us what it made the business.
Strong data fluency: you own your numbers, run your own analysis, and can walk leadership through your pipeline story without a deck full of caveats.
Experience with paid media platforms (Google Ads, LinkedIn) and marketing automation or CRM systems (HubSpot, Marketo, ActiveCampaign, or equivalent).
The Impact
Within 1 month, you’ll:
Deeply understand the brand, business, and related goals.
Run a full audit of existing programs, stack, and agent infrastructure to understand the foundation we are working from.
Within 3 months, you’ll:
Create first agentic workflow live and tracked against pipeline KPIs
Create a demand gen roadmap presented to leadership with agent strategy integrated
Within 6 months you’ll:
- Have measurable pipeline impact from agent-run programs with compounding momentum
Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision plan options
Employer paid STD, LTD, Life Insurance, and EAP access
401k with employer matching up to 4%
16 PTO days (increases with tenure) + 9 paid holidays
Annual profit-sharing bonus
12 weeks 100% paid parental leave (maternity, paternity, adoption)

Company donation(s) to your charities of choice (up to $1,000 annually)

The above range is the starting salary range for this role. The final starting salary is based on individual experience and how closely it translates to the role. Once in the role, we offer annual merit increases based on performance.
