Senior Marketing Manager

Senior Manager, Marketing at Scythe

The directive is clear: we are out to build the most sought after brand in outdoor power equipment. One that creates an irresistible draw to an innovative solution. One that turns heads (but in a good way). One that stands out in a category confined to strict and stale conventionality. To make this happen, however, we need something critical – a multifaceted marketer with ambitions as big as ours and the skill set to achieve them. 

Working in lock step with Sales, you will build and execute campaigns that will bring brand awareness to new heights and generate interest from across the industry. You will develop content, content, and more content for use across our marketing mix but particularly in digital and video channels where we are looking to better reach our target audience. You will also bring a new level of sophistication to our marketing measurements, leveraging your expertise with reporting tools to share insight on which tactics are driving more conversions and why. 

You will oversee a small marketing team which means you won’t be doing this alone but you will be expected to coach and grow the members of your group. And since landscape contractors aren’t our only audience, you’ll also spend time strategizing on how to best appeal to the other stakeholder groups that are important for our growth, turning them all into brand fans.
