What Hiring Managers Look For

L1-L3: Hiring managers want to see measurable pipeline contribution — specific numbers on MQLs generated, conversion rates improved, or attribution models you've built and defended.

L4-L6: Leaders look for evidence you've orchestrated multi-channel campaigns that moved revenue needles, plus the scars from failed experiments that taught you what doesn't work.

L7+: Boards evaluate your track record of building demand generation engines that scale predictably — can you architect systems that generate $10M+ in pipeline without proportional headcount growth.
