About The Client
Our client is a proud fourth-generation, family-owned company with a century-long legacy in the logistics and moving industry. Founded in 1924, they have grown into one of the top-performing agents for a major national van lines network. Their mission is to deliver personalized, reliable moving and storage solutions built on a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Role Overview: The Strategic Builder
While the company is 100 years old, the marketing function is essentially a "startup" environment. There are no pre-existing SOPs, no playbooks, and no established marketing infrastructure. We are seeking a Senior Marketing Manager to act as a "team of one" to build this department from the ground up. This is a role for a high-level executor who is comfortable getting their hands dirty for the first 1-2 years while advising the company on long-term strategy.
You will partner closely with the Sales team to build funnels, create referral partnerships, and drive a "shotgun approach" to increasing high-quality leads.
- Marketing Strategy & Advisory
- Foundational Build:
Advise leadership on the overall marketing direction and build the structure, SOPs, and playbooks for the department from scratch. - Funnel Architecture:
Create and implement end-to-end funnels designed to capture new business and move prospects through the lifecycle. - Collaborative Lead Gen:
Work hand-in-hand with the Sales team to ensure marketing efforts directly result in increased business and qualified opportunities.
- Foundational Build:
- Hub Spot & Data Management
- CRM Mastery:
Act as the internal expert for Hub Spot (both Sales and Marketing hubs), ensuring data integrity and optimizing the platform for lead tracking. - Analytics & Reporting:
Utilize Google Analytics to track performance and provide data-driven insights to ownership. - SEO/SEM Strategy:
Manage organic and paid search strategies to increase visibility and inbound traffic.
- CRM Mastery:
- Execution & Lead Development
- Organic Growth:
Focus on the organic development of leads through referral partnerships and strategic networking rather than relying solely on paid media or PPC. - Email Campaigns:
Design and execute high-impact email marketing campaigns to reach prospects and nurture existing relationships. - Social Presence:
Maintain a consistent baseline presence on Linked In and Facebook to build brand credibility. - Collateral Maintenance:
Own and maintain all marketing collateral, ensuring the brand’s 100-year legacy is represented professionally across all assets.
- Organic Growth:
Skills & Qualifications
- Experience:
8-10 years of professional marketing experience. We are looking for a senior-level "doer" rather than a delegator. - Background:
Proven track record in small businesses or startups where you were required to be "scrappy" and build processes from zero. - Hub Spot Expert:
Complete fluency in Hub Spot Sales and Marketing hubs is non-negotiable. - Technical Proficiency:
Strong hands-on experience with Google Analytics, SEO/SEM, and basic creative tools like Canva. - Communication:
Exceptional English fluency and the ability to advise executive leadership with confidence and clarity.
- No Large Agency Backgrounds:
We are not looking for candidates who have spent their careers in large agencies or managing large teams of specialists. - No Pure Delegators:
If your most recent experience is primarily managing people or delegating tasks, this is not the right fit. You must be willing to execute the work personally. - No Social-Only Experts:
We need a 360-degree marketer, not a specialist who only understands social media management.
This is a rare opportunity to take a 100-year-old brand and define its modern marketing identity. You will have a direct seat at the table with ownership, the autonomy to build your own systems, and the potential to scale a team once the foundational work is complete.
