Job description
Hate the phrase, “stay in your lane?” Do you believe that variety — after coriander and garlic salt — is the spice of life? And do you find that the only good use for red tape is patching the holes in your lucky crimson cowboy boots?
Yes, yes, and yes? Great!
What We Are Looking For
We’re looking for a Marketing Manager who specializes in… everything, from spit-balling strategy to overseeing tight, tactical execution. (Don’t worry, we also believe in a growth mindset, leaning into failure, and providing all the resources you need to get from good to great at anything.)
At Essentia, you’ll find an entrepreneurial environment and award-winning workplace culture where you can thrive like never before. So, what are you waiting for? Slip into those rejuvenated Duct-taped boots, saddle up, and take the reins of a super-charged, trailblazing stallion that may just turn out to be A UNICORN.
Requirements:The Successful Candidate Will Have
- Approximately 5 years of marketing experience and the war stories to prove it.
- Working in B2B environments is a bonus. Working in industries including telecom, cable, and/or critical infrastructure is a double bonus. Having completed a provocative phone and/or letter-writing campaign with a telecom, cable provider, or utility that resulted in a lower bill will receive strong consideration.
- Being a true "marketing generalist" with expertise in content marketing, event marketing, PR and social media, sales support, marketing analytics, vendor coordination, and everything we’re forgetting to include here.
- A highly innovative and entrepreneurial spirit is required — we need someone who thrives on taking calculated risks, demystifying cutting-edge technology, and driving creative initiatives.
- Always having your eyes on the prize: those sales #s that, at the end of the day, determine our success or failure.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Craft and execute ingenious marketing strategies that propel Essentia's brand and support business growth.
- Create captivating content that engages and educates our target audience across various channels.
- Be the mastermind behind epic events that leave attendees in awe and generate qualified leads.
- Collaborate with our sales team, providing them with the tools, resources, and support they need to conquer the market and nail their bogeys.
- Lay bricks and sling mortar for our always expanding employer brand.
- Analyze marketing data and unleash powerful insights to optimize campaigns and improve ROI.
- Coordinate and dazzle our network of vendors, ensuring seamless partnerships and mind-blowing results.
- Give gifts better than a Kris Kringle, whether selecting promo items that uniquely resonate with prospects or reminding customers that we know them better than their other vendors.
- Network like a pro, transforming small talk and LinkedIn invites into valuable connections and opportunities.
- Deftly drive solution demos to high-profile audiences, being able to shift gears on the fly.
- Embrace your inner entrepreneur by identifying new growth avenues and proposing innovative marketing initiatives.
