Job Summary

Own and scale a high-velocity marketing function, combining a data-driven content engine with demand-gen, website optimization, and collateral production to move buyers through tax and finance journeys.

  • Content Engine: lead editorial, SME partnerships, and a mix of evergreen and campaign-aligned content to grow the audience.
  • Demand Gen & SEO: drive integrated campaigns and AI-powered search readiness with external partners and internal teams.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and run a high-cadence content engine: own the editorial calendar, partner with SMEs across Transfer Pricing, R&D Credits, and Indirect Tax, and produce a mix of evergreen thought leadership and campaign-mapped content that moves our audience
  • Own GEO and AEO strategy and execution in partnership with our external service partner, positioning Exactera ahead of the curve for AI-powered search by end of year
  • Drive demand generation through integrated campaigns across email, paid, social, and events, mapped to buyer personas, tax timelines, and our existing campaign framework
  • Own website strategy and CMS management: keep the site current, optimize for conversion and discoverability, and continuously improve performance
  • Lead the design and production of internal and external collateral including sales one-pagers, decks, campaign assets, and event materials, maintaining brand consistency across every output
  • Manage our marketing coordinator and external resources, and build the team thoughtfully as the company scales

Requirements

  • 7 to 10 years of B2B marketing experience, with a strong lean toward content, AI-enabled workflows, and demand generation, and the range to own the full function
  • Proven ability to execute in a lean, high-output environment: you are as comfortable writing copy and managing a CMS as you are running a campaign or analyzing performance data
  • Hands-on with HubSpot or similar marketing automation, CMS platforms, and website performance optimization
  • AI-adept and already using tools daily: our stack includes Claude, Lovable, n8n, and Gamma, and if you have a must-have tool not on the list, we will buy the license
  • A strong writer who can make complex tax and finance topics compelling, with the judgment to know when to go deep and when to keep it sharp
  • Hungry to own something, grow into a VP-level leader, and build a function that reflects your standards

Benefits

  • A collaborative team culture with opportunities for career development.
  • Ample opportunities to be recognized, build valuable skills, and grow your career.
  • Generous vacation policy, including paid parental leave.
  • Comprehensive health plans with FSA and HSA options.
