This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You'll help shape campaign strategy, go-to-market plans, and brand positioning but also you'll be the one writing the email, scheduling the post, and pulling the performance data. You'll be building the marketing function, with direct visibility into how your work drives awareness, engagement, and pipeline for both our SaaS platform and creative services. This is the right fit for someone who wants to build. You're organized and execution-driven, but you also think critically about the strategy. What You'll Own These are your core responsibilities Campaign execution: Plan, launch, and optimize integrated marketing campaigns aligned with company growth goals, from concept through performance analysis. Content creation: Write blog posts, articles, email campaigns, social media copy, and lead magnets that drive organic traffic and position CRAFTSMAN+ as a thought leader in ad tech and creative technology. Sales enablement: Develop case studies, one-pagers, pitch collateral, and campaign materials that help close deals and generate new leads. Email marketing: Build and manage nurture sequences end-to-end — writing the copy, segmenting audiences, scheduling sends, and analyzing results. Website & SEO: Manage and maintain the company website — updating content, improving SEO, and ensuring everything stays current and on-brand. Performance & analytics: Track, analyze, and report on campaign performance. Identify insights, spot opportunities, and recommend what to double down on (or cut). What You Bring Required 3-5 years of marketing experience , ideally in ad tech, martech, SaaS, or a related digital ecosystem. Hands-on experience creating content and executing campaigns: it’s not your first rodea! Experience with marketing tools and platforms: analytics, email marketing, social scheduling, and CRM software (e.g., HubSpot, HighLevel, Salesforce). A data-aware mindset — you understand how marketing performance connects to revenue and can speak to metrics confidently. Comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities shift and the team is lean. Proven experience working within technology and/or SaaS companies, with a clear understanding of how marketing supports product-led or sales-driven growth. Experience defining and shaping marketing strategy and brand positioning, not just executing campaigns — you can connect messaging, audience, and market insights into a cohesive narrative Nice to haves… Working knowledge of the ad tech landscape (DSPs, publishers, creative technology, mobile, or performance marketing) Familiarity with basic design tools (Canva or similar) and AI-powered marketing platforms. Experience contributing to demand generation, brand marketing, or partner marketing programs. Comfort with short-form video creation or willingness to learn. What You'll Get Real ownership from day one — no red tape, no waiting for permission. Your ideas go from whiteboard to market. Brand-name clients — your work will support campaigns for some of the world's most recognized brands. Growth potential — as the company scales, this role has a clear path to senior marketing leadership or team management. Creative freedom — you'll work alongside talented creators and technologists who care deeply about craft. A collaborative, no-ego team that values initiative, creative problem-solving, and getting things done. Build from scratch — you'll shape the marketing function, not inherit someone else's playbook.
