Demand Generation Manager
Lafayette, IN - USA
Job Summary
KPA has spent over four decades earning a reputation as the company automotive businesses trust with compliance. More than 15000 of them count on us to protect their people their customers and their operations across Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Sales Advertising Privacy and HR.
Underneath it is one conviction: that documented is not the same as safe. A binder of current paperwork has never prevented an injury so we built the company to close that gap. Software thats always watching out training that reaches the newest person on the floor and 150 consultants who keep finding what actually goes wrong. We think that work is worth doing somewhere people want to be and Built In Colorado has named KPA one of the states Best Places to Work seven years running.
Why This Role Exists
That kind of trust is a rare foundation for a marketing team and it is the raw material for one of the best demand engines in B2B. Dealer groups are consolidating and buyers increasingly start their research inside AI answer engines rather than a list of search results. Both shifts favor the company that builds for them first.
This role builds that engine: automation that meets buyers where they are campaigns that run as one program rather than five measurement clear enough that every dollar has an answer and AI woven throughout it so a small team moves like a much larger one. Youd own it end to end the automation the campaigns the data and the pipeline outcomes on top of a story nobody else in our industry can tell.
This is a builders job at a company worth building for: if youd rather design the whole engine than tune someone elses single channel this is it.
The Role
The Manager Demand Generation drives the execution and performance of KPAs demand programs across all paid owned and automated channels and is a critical partner in improving the systems and measurement that underlie them. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with budget decision-making authority and a direct line to pipeline.
Youll spend your weeks in HubSpot ZoomInfo GA4 Salesforce in the ad platforms and analytics and in the space between marketing and revenue operations where demand engines drive results. Youll also use AI the way a team twice this size would use headcount to research produce test and operate and to build workflows the rest of marketing can use too.
Success is measured in qualified pipeline that Sales agrees is qualified a funnel everyone can see and a cost per opportunity that improves quarter over quarter with a clear decision and data behind each improvement you make.
