Job description

Marketing Manager (In-Office)

MDT Sporting Goods, Chilliwack, BC.

MDT is one of the fastest-growing brands in the precision rifle industry. We design and manufacture chassis systems, bipods, magazines, accessories, and gear trusted by competitive shooters, hunters, and professionals worldwide. We innovate fast, launch often, and push hard.

We need someone who can do the same.

We’re hiring a Marketing Manager to take full ownership of day-to-day marketing execution, project management, and team leadership. This is an in-office role and a critical hire as we scale.

Our growth target over the next 3–5 years is aggressive.

We’re not shy about that.

We need someone who can keep the ball moving… every day… without needing to be constantly pushed.

What This Role Is Really About

You keep the marketing engine moving confidently, consistently, without a hiccup.

You’re not a task robot.

And you’re not just a “big idea” person who delegates everything.

You’re the operator who makes sure projects get finished, launches go out on time, and the team stays aligned.

You will run marketing operations, manage multiple projects across multiple teams, and work closely and collaboratively with our Content Manager.

What You’ll Own

You will drive execution for all major marketing activities, including:

Product Launches

• Own every launch from planning to execution (we launch roughly 1+ new SKU per week)
• Keep cross-department tasks on track (product, creative, e-com, ops)
• Maintain and improve our launch process over time

Project & Task Management

• Manage 15–30 active projects at once (Wrike)
• Ensure deadlines, dependencies, and deliverables are always moving
• Clear blockers and push projects forward

Events & Activations

• Coordinate our events calendar
• Manage deliverables for reps, shoots, matches, and activations
• Work across departments to ensure consistency and readiness

Marketing Operations

• Weekly cadence of reporting
• Clean, functional workflow systems
• Help optimize processes as we scale

Email & Campaign Execution

• Manage the planning, scheduling, and deployment of email campaigns and flows
• Coordinate with Content and E-Comm to ensure messaging, timing, and creative are aligned
• Maintain and optimize automated flows (abandoned cart, replenishment, onboarding, sunsetting, etc.)

Influencer & Ambassador Coordination

• Support the Content Manager in managing influencer relationships
• Ensure deliverables, timelines, and campaigns are organized and on track
• Coordinate product sends, approvals, and reporting

Website & Launch Readiness

• Work with E-Comm to ensure product pages, homepages, and landing pages are accurate and optimized before launches
• Coordinate cross-team updates for promotions, new product drops, and campaigns

Dealer & B2B Marketing Support

• Coordinate dealer-facing marketing assets (POS materials, product descriptions, photos, videos, etc.)
• Support dealer communication for launches, events, and product changes
• Help strengthen dealer marketing consistency and effectiveness

Team Leadership

• Directly support and manage day-to-day workflows for marketing
• Work closely with our Content Manager (who handles content pipeline, creators, etc.)
• Elevate the team’s organization, communication, and overall performance

You’re the glue.

The operator.

The person who makes sure nothing stalls.

Who You Are

• 1. You’re an Executor First: You excel at structure, accountability, and keeping projects moving. You make complexity simple, and you don’t need to be constantly pushed.
• 2. You’re a Strong Manager: You give clear direction, keep people aligned, and hold them accountable without drama. You elevate the team’s performance.
• 3. You Understand Marketing: You don’t need “Marketing 101.” You know how campaigns, content, email, events, and launches should run, even if you’re not the one creating every asset.
• 4. You’re Organized and Reliable Under Pressure: Multiple launches, events, and competing priorities don’t overwhelm you. You keep momentum steady and predictable.
• 5. You Improve Systems, Not Just Tasks: You build and refine processes that make the team faster, more efficient, and more consistent over time.
• 6. You’re Here to Scale With Us: The role will grow every year. The team will grow. You’re ready to grow with it.

What You Bring

• 4+ years of marketing experience (consumer brand experience is ideal, firearms market exp/knowledge would be exceptional)
• Demonstrated ability to run complex projects and launches
• Experience managing creators, designers, or content workflows
• Strong communication and ownership mentality
• Leadership experience (formal or informal)
• Highly organized, calm under pressure, and able to manage competing priorities
• Bonus: experience with firearms, hunting, or precision shooting (not required, just man, would it ever be helpful)
