Job Summary

Own and optimize Marketing Operations and collateral workflows from kickoff to delivery, while maintaining accurate trackers and asset libraries.

  • Oversee inventory and fulfillment for collateral, swag, and event materials
  • Support campaign execution and email production with QA and optimization input

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Marketing Operations & Project Coordination
  • - Drive Marketing Operations projects from kickoff to close (plans, owners, check-ins, follow-ups) so work lands on time without constant chasing.
  • - Keep project trackers, campaign calendars, and status reporting current in Smartsheet, giving leadership a clear view of what is moving and what is at risk.
  • - Administer Smartsheet, Canva, and the digital asset management (DAM) system so teams can find, use, and reuse approved assets.
  • - Build, document, and improve repeatable processes for requests, campaign execution, and asset management as gaps or bottlenecks appear.
  • Collateral, Merch & Inventory
  • - Own the master inventory of collateral, swag, and ACAMS merch, and manage the fulfillment warehouse and vendor, so every event has what it needs.
  • - Manage requests from Events and Field Marketing from intake to delivery, including quantities, budget, deadlines, printing, and shipping.
  • - Keep campaign collateral and print-ready files current with Brand, Creative, Events, and Product Marketing.
  • - Create on-brand assets in Canva, mostly for events, and build templates so teams can produce consistent materials quickly; brief the creative team on anything that needs a designer.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in marketing operations, campaign execution, email marketing, or a related role; bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying emails in a marketing automation platform (Eloqua preferred), including testing, audience management, scheduling, and QA; working knowledge of HTML and CSS for email.
  • Coordinates projects with multiple owners and deadlines in a tool such as Smartsheet, and has managed vendors, inventory, or fulfillment.
  • Catches what others miss: checks copy, links, data, and quantities before anything goes out, while keeping several projects and deadlines moving at once.
  • Takes a brief, works out what is needed, and drives it forward; asks questions, clarifies expectations, and raises issues or competing priorities early, escalating when appropriate.
  • Has a good eye for layout and visual consistency and builds clean, on-brand designs in Canva. This is not a graphic design role.
  • Uses AI tools to work faster, for example to draft, summarize briefs, or check work, and reviews the output carefully for accuracy before using it.

Preferred

  • Nice to have: events or conference marketing experience in B2B, financial services, or a membership association; experience with Salesforce, a DAM, or Adobe Creative Suite
