Summary
We are looking for a driven Marketing Manager to lead and scale the Marketing team at the Akash Homes Office based in Edmonton or Calgary, Alberta. This person, reporting to the Director, Marketing, will work closely with the Vice President to build and strengthen our brand presence as we continue to expand

The Opportunity

Scaling a team is a privilege. Your key role as the Marketing Manager is to set up the entire marketing function for success. Think of the marketing department as a startup company. You’ll do everything from developing short-term strategies and roadmaps, to personally executing core marketing initiatives and eventually scaling the team when the time is right.

One year at Akash Homes is like three years elsewhere. Due to our rapid expansion and unique operational challenges, this role will push you to grow as a leader while making a direct impact on the company's success.

Marketing Execution & Project Management:

• Identify and lead key projects such as advertising strategy, website rebuild, brand recognition, and visual promotion tools.
• Oversee the creation and consistency of brand awareness through marketing materials, including managing online presence and producing engaging content.
• Design the Customer Experience journey in collaboration with the Warranty and Customer Experience teams, using insights to drive improvements.
• Collaborate with other departments to meet their marketing needs and support overall business goals.

Data, Reporting & Communications:

• Establish consistent reporting on key performance indicators like impressions, click-through rates, conversion rates, return on advertising spend, and cost of customer acquisition.
• Conduct market analysis to stay ahead of changing practices, technology, competition, and consumer preferences.

What You’ll Bring

• A degree in marketing or related field. This is an asset, not a requirement.
• A broad range of experience. We’re excited to speak to candidates outside of the home building industry.
• 3–5 years of Marketing Manager experience with proven experience leading a small team in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. We have a strong coaching culture, and this role will support, develop, and mentor others.
• Proficient and high degree of experience with website design and research, customer experience, digital transformation, project management and digital marketing strategies.
• Builder Mindset. A proven track record of building and optimizing marketing departments in dynamic, high-growth environments. You thrive in energized, passionate entrepreneurial cultures that are focused on performance and embrace accountability.
• Confidence paired with a willingness to learn and adapt to new ways of working.
• Curiosity for technology, you actively seek out tools (including AI) that improve efficiency and impact.
• A natural relationship builder who collaborates well across teams and departments.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and uncertainty, you excel in environments where there are no clear-cut solutions. Your resourcefulness and adaptability allow you to thrive in ever-evolving situations, turning challenges into opportunities.
• You're a proactive self-starter who takes initiative and ownership of projects from inception to completion. Your ability to work independently and drive results without constant supervision is essential for success in this role.
• You are a strong advocate for continuous improvement, fostering a culture of openness and adaptability within your team. Your proactive approach to identifying opportunities for growth and enhancement drives positive change and innovation.
