VAST Data is the AI Operating System company, redefining how organizations build and operate intelligent systems at scale.
As enterprises, AI-native companies, and cloud providers move from isolated models to fully operational AI systems, the need for a unified data and compute platform has become mission-critical.
About the Role
We're looking for a Director of Digital Demand Generation & Growth Marketing to lead our Paid Media and Campaigns team and build a modern, AI-powered demand engine.
This is a revenue-first leadership role responsible for generating qualified pipeline through digital marketing. You'll own strategy, execution, and optimization across paid channels and integrated campaigns, partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to accelerate growth.
Success in this role is measured by business outcomes and not marketing activity.
