Director Marketing Demand Generation Jobs (NOW HIRING)

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health is our Purpose, and it's no small feat. It takes the imagination and passion of all of us-from design and engineering to the manufacturing and marketing of our billions of MedTech products per year-to look at the impossible and find transformative solutions that turn dreams into possibilities.

The Director, Digital Demand Generation owns BD's global demand generation strategy and operating model end-to-end. This leader architects the Lead Lifecycle Framework - defining scoring models, routing logic, persona-based nurture programs, and global KPIs and benchmarks - and ensures full-funnel visibility through dashboards that tie directly to commercial outcomes. By harmonizing process and elevating platform usage across Marketo, Salesforce, and adjacent martech, the role accelerates opportunity creation and elevates the buyer experience at scale.

This is a role that demands equal parts strategic authority and organizational influence.

Success in this role will be demonstrated through:

• Define investment priorities for demand generation capabilities and make the case for resourcing to senior leadership.

2. Lead Lifecycle Design & Performance

• Architect and continuously evolve BD's Lead Lifecycle Framework - encompassing scoring models, routing logic, persona-based nurture programs, and qualification and acceptance criteria - ensuring it is fit for purpose across diverse business models and markets.

• Drive full-funnel measurement of demand performance, ensuring consistent visibility into velocity, conversion, leakage, and SLA adherence across BUs and Regions.

• Lead global growth in qualified lead volume by optimizing capture mechanisms, expanding high-performing acquisition channels, and partnering with BUs and Regions to scale proven plays and correct underperformance.

• Partner with the Director AI for Marketing on delivering AI initiatives across the demand funnel.

4. Account-Based Marketing

• Establish and own the global Account-Based Marketing (ABM) strategy, process, and capability - defining standards, selecting technology partners where required, and driving adoption across BUs and Regions.

• Build ABM into the core of BD's demand model, ensuring it is integrated with lead lifecycle management, Salesforce, and Marketo, and that performance is measured consistently against defined commercial outcomes.

• Partner with BU commercial and sales leaders to identify target account sets, align on engagement strategies, and track ABM contribution to pipeline and revenue.

• Lead the strategic evolution from Account-Based Marketing toward Person-Based Marketing (PMB), developing the identity resolution, intent data, and individual-level activation capabilities needed to engage specific buyers within target accounts with precision and scale.

5. Brand-to-Demand & Integrated Demand Programs

6. Platform Partnership & Martech Integration

• Partner strategically with Marketing Technology teams and TGS to shape the martech roadmap, ensuring platforms - including Marketo, Salesforce, and adjacent tools - are configured, integrated, and evolved to support the global demand strategy.

• Serve as the business owner and demand generation authority in platform governance forums, defining requirements and driving adoption of global standards while platform ownership remains with Marketing Technology.

• Ensure data quality, integration, and process compliance across the demand technology stack, working with Martech and TGS to resolve issues that impact funnel performance.

7. Global Adoption & Change Management
