Job Summary

Own and orchestrate the client marketing engine across strategy, governance, and cross-functional enablement, turning marketing into a holistic growth function.

  • Lead integrated marketing & business strategy with ROI-focused outcomes
  • Align marketing with sales, customer success, and operational AI/automation initiatives

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Integrated Marketing & Business Strategy
  • - Marketing-Led Vision: Act as the primary architect of the client\'s marketing engine, ensuring demand generation, brand positioning, and content strategy are the core drivers of ROI.
  • - Cross-Functional Synthesis: Evaluate how non-marketing business functions (e.g., AI automation, technical API integrations, and PR-led authority) can be leveraged to amplify the core marketing strategy.
  • - Full-Lifecycle Alignment: Ensure the marketing strategy seamlessly transitions into sales enablement and customer success, creating a closed-loop system that factors in the entire business operation.
  • - Service Ecosystem Orchestration: Move beyond "HubSpot-only" thinking to determine when a client requires specialized services like web development or advanced data integrations to remove friction from the marketing funnel.
  • Strategic Governance & Vision
  • - Quarterly Steering: Lead high-impact strategic sessions with client executives to pivot the vision based on market trends, ensuring marketing efforts remain agile and business-relevant.
  • - Final Strategic Touchpoint: Review and refine all major strategic deliverables to ensure they reflect a holistic business perspective before they reach the client.
  • - Strategic ROI Benchmarking: Define how marketing KPIs translate into broader business outcomes like Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) and overall revenue growth.
  • Sales Growth & Collaboration

Requirements

  • Minimum of 8 years in digital strategy or business consulting, with a focus on cross-departmental integration
  • Business acumen to converse with C-suite executives about business goals, not just marketing tactics
  • Consultative maturity to steer C-suite conversations away from tactical to-do lists; toward high-level business strategy and resource allocation
  • Familiarity with how PR, SEO, Web Development, and AI tools integrate into a modern marketing and sales engine
  • Proven ability to provide high-level vision while trusting and empowering a team to handle the execution
  • Deep understanding of the HubSpot ecosystem and how third-party tools integrate to drive growth
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field
