Role Description

Thought Leaders Institute is looking for a Marketing Manager to focus on the growth of our acquisition channels, swiftly launch new growth initiatives, and write some killer direct response copy along the way.

You’ll be empowered by some of the top marketing minds in the world and have all the tactics and tools at your fingertips to succeed. In short, if you’re a marketing-savvy trendsetter who has innovative ideas to drive rapid growth, we would like to meet you.

P.S. This is not an opportunity for the faint of heart. We’re a fast-growing company with evolving needs and market conditions. If you like a good growth-inducing challenge, this is your new home.

P.P.S. If you aren’t intimately familiar with the works of (at least) Schwartz, Ogilvy, and Kennedy, no need to apply.

The Marketing Manager will be passionate for the “art” (and science) of marketing and will have an abundance of ideas for building efficient strategies. The right person will bring a strong arsenal of techniques and methods to promote our products, services, and public image.

• Develop strategies and tactics to get the word out about our company and drive qualified traffic to our marketing funnels.
