Digital Marketing Manager

Digital Marketing Managers at MAKE lead client strategy and execution, playing a central role in the success of our digital marketing efforts. This role is primarily focused on developing, managing, and optimizing digital marketing initiatives, while also maintaining day-to-day ownership of client relationships and engagement.

Digital Marketing Managers own the strategic direction of their assigned client roster and serve as a consistent lead for marketing-related initiatives. They develop a deep understanding of each client’s business, goals, and performance; work directly with stakeholders to define objectives; and translate insights into clear strategies, roadmaps, and actionable plans. While this role partners closely with Account and Project Managers for coordination and delivery, Digital Marketing Managers are expected to actively participate in account management, client communication, and project oversight to ensure successful outcomes.

This is a fully remote role. While candidates may be located anywhere in the U.S., those based in the Midwest and within driving distance of the Kansas City and St. Louis areas are strongly preferred.
