Director, Customer Expansion Marketing
We have an opportunity for a Director, Customer Expansion Marketing to join our Marketing – Customer Expansion Marketing team in Bangalore, reporting to the Vice President, Field Marketing. In this pivotal role, you will build and lead a highly strategic Customer Expansion Marketing (CEM) engine dedicated to unlocking the immense revenue potential within Infoblox’s tenured installed base. You will move the organization away from traditional “batch-and-blast” marketing and build a modern, product-led digital motion designed to cross-sell, up-sell, and drive product adoption, targeting a $67M+ ARR pipeline. Based in our Bangalore Center of Excellence, you will work directly with global marketing leadership and adjacent Marketing Operations (MOPS) teams to build, launch, and optimize digital expansion campaigns using cutting-edge AI-native tools.
Be a Contributor - What You’ll Do
Act as a hands-on player-coach to architect and build the initial signal-led expansion plays, personally launching the first pilot campaigns before scaling execution across the CEM team
Design and lead audience segmentation and cohort-building strategies by manipulating complex customer data to isolate targets based on product telemetry, hardware refresh cycles, and contract renewal dates
Operate hands-on with modern growth and data enrichment tools (e.g., Clay, Pendo, Salesforce, Qualified) to trigger signal-led, automated expansion plays that generate Product-Qualified Leads (PQLs)
Build and maintain in-app and email-based automated activation nurture journeys that trigger when a customer purchases a product but fails to activate it, driving them toward sticky feature usage and minimizing churn risk
Monitor campaign performance, track Influenced Pipeline and PQL generation, and run focused A/B tests to improve conversion rates on cross-sell and up-sell motions
Act as a force multiplier for Sales by partnering with sales leadership to identify expansion opportunities, align plays to account priorities, and translate signals into actionable pipeline motions
Leverage AI-powered tools for intent detection, audience discovery, predictive scoring, content generation, and campaign optimization to accelerate execution and sharpen targeting
Define and own the CEM team’s KPIs, dashboards, and reporting cadence, translating data insights into concise, actionable recommendations for global leadership
Partner closely with Renewals leadership to design co-terming and renewal-adjacent up-sell motions, then codify successful plays into repeatable frameworks across segments, products, and regions
Recruit, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of CEM Execution Leads within the Bangalore Center of Excellence, setting the standard through hands-on execution before delegating and scaling
Be Prepared - What You Bring
10+ years of experience in Marketing Operations, Demand Generation, Digital Marketing, Lifecycle Marketing, or Growth Marketing within a B2B SaaS or enterprise technology environment
Demonstrated success building and leading teams in a “zero-to-one” environment, including standing up new functions, processes, and playbooks
Deep architectural familiarity with enterprise stacks (Marketo, 6sense, Salesforce) combined with a willingness to operate hands-on with modern PLG and data enrichment tools (Pendo, Clay, Qualified) to build the initial engine
Experience with, or strong technical desire to master, modern product-led growth (PLG) mechanics and data enrichment tools such as Pendo, Clay, Qualified, or similar intent-signal platforms
Strong analytical and data manipulation skills, with the ability to merge disparate data sets, apply scoring models, and find the “signal in the noise” to create hyper-targeted customer cohorts
Proven experience using AI and automation in marketing workflows (e.g., predictive analytics, AI-assisted content creation, automated lead routing, personalization engines) with a focus on responsible and transparent use
Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey campaign strategies, performance, and data insights to senior stakeholders
Proactive, builder mindset with comfort operating in an agile, fast-changing environment where processes are being designed and refined in real time
Bachelor’s degree in marketing, Business, Analytics, Computer Science, or a related field; MBA or master’s degree preferred
Experience managing and developing direct reports in a global, matrixed organization
