Prospecteo recruits Marketing Operations talent for the systems and processes behind effective marketing execution. We define the role around campaign delivery, lead management, measurement, and the connection between marketing platforms and your CRM.

Discuss your Marketing Ops hire

When to make
this hire.

A dedicated Marketing Ops hire can help when campaign delivery depends on a few undocumented steps, leads reach sales inconsistently, or teams cannot reconcile marketing and CRM reports. Identify whether the immediate need is execution capacity, platform ownership, or leadership of the function before choosing a title.

DEFINE THE SCOPE

Roles we recruit.

These are example scopes to shape a hiring conversation. Titles and responsibilities vary by company; they are not current job openings.

Marketing Operations Specialist

Build and check campaigns, maintain segmentation and data hygiene, and support reporting within an established operating process.

Marketing Operations Manager

Own marketing automation and lifecycle processes, coordinate campaign operations, and improve the reliability of marketing measurement.

Director or Head of Marketing Operations

Set the systems and operations roadmap, align resources with marketing priorities, and develop the team’s standards and responsibilities.

BEYOND THE TITLE

What we look for.

Campaign quality

Ask the candidate to walk through a campaign launch. Look for audience checks, suppression logic, testing, tracking conventions, and a plan for catching errors.

Lifecycle ownership

Explore how scoring, routing, and status changes interact with the CRM. Ask what happens with duplicate records, conflicting updates, or a lead that should not be contacted.

Measurement judgment

Discuss a disagreement between marketing and sales reports. Look for investigation of definitions, source data, and attribution assumptions before the candidate recommends a new dashboard.

Start with
a clear brief.

Use these questions to define the search with your team.

Which marketing automation and CRM platforms are in use?
Who owns campaign strategy versus campaign execution?
Where do lead handoffs or reporting definitions break down?
Does the person need to operate a platform, redesign the process, or lead both?

Marketing Ops hiring questions.

How is Marketing Ops different from demand generation?

Demand generation typically owns programs intended to create demand and pipeline. Marketing Ops typically owns the systems, data, and processes that help those programs run and be measured. If your role combines them, make the priorities and workload explicit.

Should we require HubSpot or Marketo experience?

Require platform experience when the hire must independently own complex work from the start. For a role with support and time to learn, transferable automation and lifecycle skills may matter more. Match the requirement to the actual configuration and integration work.

How do we assess a Marketing Operations candidate?

Use a realistic campaign or lifecycle scenario and ask the candidate to explain their checks, assumptions, and tradeoffs. Separate platform knowledge from execution discipline and measurement judgment. Our evaluation guide includes example questions and evidence to look for.

When should we hire a manager instead of a specialist?

A specialist can fit a defined execution workload with clear direction. A manager may fit when the person must prioritize requests, establish processes, and coordinate platform decisions with other teams. The scope and support available matter more than the title.
