Senior/Executive Marketing Manager (Econ, Math, & Stats)

At Macmillan Learning, we're committed to driving innovation that transforms education. We seek team members who thrive on pushing boundaries, envisioning future possibilities, and building solutions that make a lasting impact. Whether you're a Pioneer shaping bold new ideas, a Builder turning possibilities into reality, or a Stabilizer optimizing for success, you'll play a vital role in advancing our mission. If you're excited by the prospect of testing new technologies, implementing transformative strategies, and thriving in a fast-paced, innovative environment, we’d love to hear from you! 

The Senior (or Executive) Marketing Manager, Field Marketing for Economics, Mathematics, and Statistics is the bridge between Product, Sales and Marketing and is responsible for designing and leading the strategies that connect the three functions. This role ensures that sales teams are not only equipped with the right tools and training, but also supported by a clear, coordinated marketing strategy that drives pipeline growth and lead conversion. Unlike sales specialists who focus on direct selling, Field Marketing Managers take a strategic view—developing frameworks for handoffs, shaping go-to-market approaches, and ensuring consistent, scalable coordination across teams. 

By engaging directly with the market through virtual and in-person events, intentionally-selected on-campus interactions, and market intelligence gathering activities, the Field Marketing Manager brings back insights that influence product development, messaging, campaign activities, and directs sales enablement strategies. This person plays a critical role in elevating marketing’s impact on revenue by aligning the customer experience across mid and bottom of funnel touchpoints, anticipating market shifts, and creating innovative pathways to adoption and retention. This is a highly visible role that turns frontline awareness into strategic advantage, ensuring Macmillan Learning’s marketing and sales teams operate as one powerful, coordinated force. This role does not have managerial responsibilities.
