Responsibilities

\n
• Creating quarterly strategies connected to their business goals.
\n
• Participating in leadership meetings (L10s for our EOS clients) as the marketing expert.
\n
• Coordinating with the teams executing the marketing work, whether that’s the amazing delivery team at Plum, your clients’ internal marketing employees, or the agencies they’ve hired.
\n
• Owning the rocks (goals), the roadmap, the reporting, and the relationship
\n

Requirements

\n
• Five to eight years in account management, brand leadership, agency operations, or in-house marketing director roles
\n
• A history of owning client relationships and being trusted with the outcome
\n
• Comfortable working across marketing channels. You don\'t need to be a specialist in any of them. You need to know what good looks like and when something isn\'t.
\n
• Willing to give direct advice when it\'s uncomfortable, and skilled enough to do it in a way that strengthens the relationship rather than threatens it
\n
• Strong people skills, sharp business sense, and operational empathy. A hospitality background is a plus and not a coincidence: several of us came up through hospitality and have found a lot of value in that experience.
\n
• EOS fluency and manufacturing experience are a plus. Neither is required.
\n

Preferred

\n
• EOS fluency and manufacturing experience are a plus.

Benefits

\n

\n

Compensation

\n
• Salary: $70,000 to $90,000, depending on ex\n\nperience. Structure: Full time, W-2 employment.

About Plum

We’re a fractional CMO firm based in Metro Detroit. Our clients are growth-ready manufacturers, EOS-aligned leadership teams, and second-generation business owners. They have execution happening everywhere and strategic marketing ownership nowhere. They need us to fill that very important seat.

We’re technically an agency, but we don’t act like one. We operate inside our clients’ businesses as the marketing department they always wished they had.

Our seven core values are very well thought out and actionable in everything we do. We came up with them as a team and they’re the filters we use for hiring, operating, and choosing clients:

\n
• We are Reliable
\n
• We are Strategic
\n
• We are Experts
\n
• We have EQ
\n
• We are Thoughtful
\n
• We are Worth It
\n
• We are Integrative
\n

We’re also operationally obsessed. We’re proud to have clear workflows and actual SOPs. And, we love Asana. We have written etiquette agreements for how we work together. We are utterly allergic to manufactured emergencies and chaos.

We work remotely across different schedules. We assume positive intent. We don’t manufacture fire drills. We hold each other accountable firmly and kindly. Full presence for our clients starts with full presence for ourselves.

We run on EOS internally. Level 10s, rocks, scorecards, V/TO. If those words mean nothing to you yet, that’s ok, you’ll learn them. If they’re already part of your vocabulary, we love that too!
