Smart, Savvy + Associates is partnering with a large, established industrial organization in their search for a Senior Marketing Manager. This newly created role was built in response to the growing complexity of one of the company's largest business units and offers the opportunity to influence both marketing strategy and business outcomes at a significant scale.

Working closely with senior stakeholders, you'll help shape go-to-market strategy, identify growth opportunities, and elevate how marketing supports a complex, relationship-driven business. You'll join a collaborative, high-performing team that is increasingly being invited to the strategic table.

This is a role for someone who enjoys asking questions, challenging assumptions, and bringing forward new ideas backed by insight and data. If you're energized by turning business objectives into meaningful marketing strategies and want the opportunity to make a visible impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Advance account-based marketing and sales enablement

• Develop targeted account-based marketing strategies for key customer segments
• Partner closely with sales leaders to support complex, multi-stakeholder buying journeys
• Strengthen sales enablement materials, proposals, presentations, and supporting content
• Identify opportunities to improve customer engagement throughout the sales process

Build trusted stakeholder relationships

• Act as a senior marketing advisor to executive and operational stakeholders
• Present recommendations, insights, and marketing plans to senior leaders
• Build credibility through strong communication, business acumen, and strategic thinking
• Collaborate across marketing, sales, operations, and external partners
