Summary We're looking for a Senior Demand Generation Manager to continue to grow Deel's SMB segment. You'll own full-funnel demand strategy and non-paid channels, working hand-in-hand with Sales, Growth Marketing, Product Marketing, and Regional Teams to build a world-class, AI-powered demand machine. This is a hands-on builder role that combines strategic thinking with relentless execution—you'll set quarterly and monthly strategy, then get in the trenches optimizing campaigns, testing new channels, and driving measurable pipeline growth. You'll collaborate across teams to align everyone around growth targets and leverage AI to move faster and smarter.

Reporting to leadership, you operate with high autonomy while excelling at rallying teams around ambitious growth targets. You're accountable for demand strategy, pipeline performance, and growth velocity across non-paid and emerging demand channels.

Use LLMs and AI agents to generate, test, and refine campaign messaging, creative, and landing pages at high velocity—reducing time-to-launch and increasing iteration speed

Research, test, and operationalize new platforms and demand partners; establish clear ROI frameworks for each; quickly kill what doesn't work
