Who are We Looking For?
Venturi’s omni-channel sales success depends heavily on the creativity and productivity of our Marketing programs. Our tactics are diverse and interesting; our work pace is “spirited”; and the opportunities to learn and grow are endless. We’ve been at the consumer product sales game long enough to know that what worked yesterday won’t work tomorrow, and that in the fast-paced world of B2B and B2C sales, you need dedicated, talented experts in every Marketing seat in order to keep cranking out great ideas, compelling content, creative campaigns and actionable analysis.
The Position
On a small team like Venturi’s, every new hire is critical, so we don’t shy away from setting high expectations. This time around? We’re looking foranexperienced, well-rounded Marketing leader to help manage and grow our various outreach and product presentation programs. We’re searching for a passionate, creative departmental leader capable of driving Venturi’s brand development, product presentation, and customer outreach efforts forward. We need a seasoned brand builder, a creative spark, a “customer whisperer”. We also need someone who can develop world class product presentations, crank out compelling social media campaigns, and weave enticing tales about both established and emerging brands. In short, we need you.
As our new Marketing Manager, you’ll have your hands in every pot; you’ll leave your mark in every corner of our business; and you’ll ensure that everything from e-mail campaigns to social media posts to sales presentations tell compelling, conversion-driving tales. You’ll be a leader, too – directing the efforts of 3rd party creative partners as needed to deliver on time, on brand creative output. At Venturi, the omni-channel retail world will be your canvas – you will be encouraged (and expected) to explore, to attempt, to test and to learn.
