Here’s a polished LinkedIn message you can send to a hiring manager or recruiter:
Hi [Name],
I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out because I’m very interested in the Marketing Manager role at HubSpot. I’ve spent the past several years leading B2B SaaS marketing campaigns—from demand-gen programs and product-led growth initiatives to multi-channel content strategies—and I’ve consistently driven pipeline and customer engagement through data-backed decision-making.
One of the reasons HubSpot has always stood out to me is its authentic commitment to inbound marketing. The way HubSpot empowers businesses to attract and educate customers—rather than push messages at them—has shaped much of my own approach to campaign building. I admire how consistently the company pairs genuine customer-centricity with strong operational rigor.
I’d love the chance to learn more about the role and share how my background might support the team. If you’re open to a brief conversation, I’d be grateful.
Thank you for your time,
[Your Name]
