Inbound Marketing & Demand Generation (DemandGen) Manager

About Imagine

Imagine Business Development is rewriting the standard for sales, marketing, and customer success. Long before Inbound Marketing even had a name, we were leveraging our sales efforts with content (seriously, our founder was blogging and creating premium content in 1994). Before revenue operations were a thing, we presented the role of structure, systems, and design thinking to large audiences. 

Imagine enables mid-market and small-enterprise companies to gain more impact from their existing customer & revenue acquisition & expansion strategies. We’ve got a track record of being ahead of the curve, producing results, and making an impact.

Today, more companies realize they need to change the game they’re playing, and they’re turning to us to help make their objectives a reality.

You’ll be responsible for helping clients achieve results and make the adjustments to keep them on track.
