In a portfolio company
The seat between marketing and sales that most $20m companies leave empty: someone who owns the forms, the scoring, the routing and the attribution, so marketing spend shows up as pipeline.

What they'll do
Full time, on US hours. Contracted through us, so there's no cross-border admin on your side.
Under half a US salary.
A US marketing ops manager earns about $9,200 a month in base salary at the median, and about $13,400 once payroll tax and benefits are added.
A Portco Crew operator starts at $4,000 a month. Rarer skills or more seniority cost a bit more. See pricing.
Where a marketing ops manager fits.
Full time, as a permanent part of the company's own team.
At a roll-up platform
A permanent seat at the platform with one lifecycle model and one attribution method, applied to every acquired brand so marketing can be compared and consolidated.
Before a sale
For a company going to market in the next 6 to 12 months: attribution that shows which spend produces pipeline, which is the first question a buyer asks about marketing.

How it works.
Intro call
Thirty minutes on what needs automating, the stack it runs on and who the operator would report to. We'll tell you straight if it isn't a fit.
Meet the operators
We send you a few operators who've done this work before, with what they've built and the tools they know. You meet the ones you like on a video call.
Hire and start
Hire the one you want. We sign the contract, you give them access, and they start on the first build.
We stay close
One flat invoice a month. We check in with both sides, and if it isn't working we fix it or find you someone else.
Good questions.
What does a marketing ops manager do?
They run the systems behind marketing: lifecycle and email programs, lead scoring and routing, attribution and the reporting on all of it. In the 147 marketing ops posts we tracked, 51% mentioned reporting and 47% automation.
Is this a marketer or an operator?
An operator. They don't write the campaign strategy or the creative. They build the system that runs it and measure what it produced.
Which platforms?
HubSpot in half the posts we track, Salesforce in 43%, then Marketo, Pardot and Klaviyo depending on the company. We match on the platform you run.
Who do they report to?
The CMO or Head of Marketing, or the RevOps lead where there is one.
