Growth at Five9 depends on a demand engine that works across regions, segments, partners, and the installed base — and on a marketing organization willing to own the outcome all the way through to a qualified conversation with a buyer, not just the click that started it. That is where this role comes in.
We are looking for a Vice President of Demand Generation to build and run the pipeline engine for Five9. Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, this leader owns global campaign strategy, account-based marketing, partner marketing, customer marketing, the full events portfolio, and the sales development organization that converts the demand those programs create.
The role is measured on the whole path: response, qualification, opportunity, and pipeline that Sales is willing to forecast. This leader will partner with the Chief Sales Officer, the regional and segment sales leaders, the Partner organization, and the teams they lead.
The right candidate is not a channel specialist who has spent a career optimizing paid media, and not a program manager who runs the calendar while someone else carries the number. This is closer to a general manager of demand — a leader who can set global strategy, run several teams with different rhythms and different definitions of success, and stand behind a pipeline commitment to the Sales organization every quarter.
Five9 sells AI for customer experience, and we hold ourselves to the same standard we set for our customers. We expect this leader to apply AI across the demand engine — audience selection and prioritization, creative production and localization, campaign operations, sales development research and outreach, and the measurement loop that connects spend to pipeline to bookings.
