About the Role:

Most marketing teams still measure output in campaigns shipped. We measure it in decisions our agents make autonomously, and we want to widen that gap. As VP, Marketing Operations & Agentic AI Systems, you will own the management of our martech stack and the strategy, architecture, and execution of the agentic layer that runs Sidetrade marketing: lead scoring, enrichment, prospection, campaign orchestration, and attribution. You will define what "production-ready" means for AI agents at Sidetrade, build and lead the team that ships them, and hold accountability for measurable business outcomes reported at board level.

This is a builder-leader role. You will set the vision and roll up your sleeves. You will not manage a function that runs on slide decks.
