We are seeking an experienced and educated Marketing Manager to lead our dynamic and growing marketing team. In this role, you will serve as the driving force behind our marketing initiatives — owning timelines, enforcing deadlines, and managing campaign scheduling across multiple platforms. You will work cross-functionally with our web team and purchasing department to ensure campaigns are executed seamlessly and with strategic intent. As a people-first leader, you will motivate, guide, and develop a talented team of high-level content creators who excel at their craft; your role is not solely to create, but to lead — setting direction, maintaining accountability, and elevating the team's collective output. You will serve as the guardian of our brand, upholding and enforcing brand standards across every touchpoint. This position calls for a formally trained and educated marketing professional with years of real-world experience who brings structure, strategy, and strong people management skills to an already-creative environment. If you are a confident leader who thrives on building cohesive teams and delivering results, we want to hear from you.
