Head of Marketing - Venture & Growth Business

Location: Tysons Corner, VA (will require travel to various VBU offices as necessary)

Job Summary:

As an experienced, hands-on marketing leader, you will help Venture Business Unit (VBU) portfolio companies analyze and optimize their marketing performance from strategy to execution.

The Alarm.com Venture Business Units (VBU) portfolio consists of a unique and fast-growing group of companies which Alarm.com has either acquired or incubated (e.g., Building36, EnergyHub, Noonlight, OpenEye, PointCentral, Shooter Detection Systems and several others). These businesses range in size and organizational maturity and several of the businesses can benefit from hands-on, tactical support across the marketing spectrum. Your job will be to ensure that the entire portfolio (initially starting with a subset) is fully optimized in its approach to marketing, from brand management, marketing communications, market research, product marketing, channel / account marketing, and lead / demand generation. This role is analogous to a marketing leadership role on a value creation team within a private equity or venture capital firm. You will also work closely with and collaborate with Alarm.com’s internal marketing team.

• Produce and review actionable and accurate marketing reporting for executives at Alarm.com and across the VBU portfolio (e.g., tracking a robust set of marketing performance ROI/ROAS and key performance metrics); achieve robust data, attribution and continuous measurement reporting.
