What moves a Marketing Operations Manager’s salary

  • Hands-on experience with HubSpot, Marketo, or Salesforce and at least two other marketing tools (analytics, ads, email)
  • Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets; ability to build dashboards, pivot tables, and simple SQL queries for data pulls
  • Experience designing and documenting processes; comfortable using Asana, Notion, or similar for SOPs and team enablement
  • Understanding of marketing fundamentals (CAC, LTV, attribution, lead scoring) and how revenue operations fits into the business
  • Comfort with API integrations, webhooks, and troubleshooting tool connectivity issues without relying solely on vendor support
