Sr. Growth Marketing Specialist - Upsell & Expansion
Job Description
Onwards Together!
Illumio is the leader in ransomware and breach containment, redefining how organizations contain cyberattacks and enable operational resilience. Powered by the Illumio AI Security Graph, our breach containment platform identifies and contains threats across hybrid multi-cloud environments – stopping the spread of attacks before they become disasters.
Recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave™ for Microsegmentation, Illumio enables Zero Trust, strengthening cyber resilience for the infrastructure, systems, and organizations that keep the world running.
Location: 4 on-site days a week in Sunnyvale, CA Headquarters.
Our Team's Vision:
Our Marketing team illuminates and evolves the global brand, driving revenue and empowering future success for our Sales team. As a leader in Zero Trust Segmentation, we are dedicated to helping organizations prevent cyberattacks and mitigate the impact of ransomware.
Renowned for our innovative solutions and collaborative spirit, we foster an inclusive environment within Marketing and across the company. Join one of the industry's most creative and dynamic teams, where you'll discover opportunities to excel, be empowered to set ambitious goals and define your path to success!
You'll sit at the intersection of product, sales, and customer success, building campaigns and programs that get current customers to expand their containment coverage — more of the environment segmented, new modules adopted, higher tiers. This isn't top-of-funnel lead gen. It's about finding customers who've proven out containment value in one part of their environment and giving them a reason to expand it everywhere else.
Your Impact:
Build and run expansion campaigns targeting existing accounts — email, in-product messaging, events, ABM plays
Partner with Customer Success and Sales to identify upsell triggers (usage patterns, containment wins, renewal timing, new attack surface exposure) and turn them into repeatable programs
Work with sales leaders and field marketing teams to design and execute upsell sales plays — arming reps with the right timing, messaging, and offers to expand accounts
Partner with Product Marketing to package and position new modules (cloud, endpoint, container segmentation) for the installed base
Own the metrics: expansion pipeline, upsell conversion rate, net revenue retention contribution
Test messaging and offers relentlessly — this is a role for someone who likes running experiments, not just executing a plan
Your Toolkit:
4+ years in growth, lifecycle, or expansion/customer marketing — SaaS or cybersecurity experience strongly preferred
Working knowledge of breach containment and segmentation concepts (Zero Trust, ransomware containment, lateral movement, attack surface) — fluent enough to translate technical value into a business case
Comfortable with data: you can pull your own reports, read a funnel, and know what’s a trend versus a pattern that we need to build on
Experience running sales plays in partnership with field marketing and sales leadership
Bias toward action based on data, rather than vanity metrics
