Job description

Digital Marketing Manager (Hands-On Creative Leader)

Fully On‑Site Role

$130,000 – $170,000 Base Salary

Full‑Time | Permanent

We are partnering with a well‑established and highly respected organization in the insurance industry to hire a Digital Marketing Manager who thrives in a true “player‑coach” environment.

This is not a traditional management‑only marketing role.

We are seeking a highly creative, hands‑on marketing leader who actively designs, creates, and produces marketing assets while also leading a small internal team. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building campaigns, editing creative assets, managing digital initiatives, and mentoring others.

If your experience is primarily strategy‑focused or agency‑managed without direct creative execution, this opportunity will likely not be the right fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

Hands‑On Creative & Content Production

• Personally create and produce digital and print marketing materials
• Design graphics, presentations, campaigns, videos, and collateral using Adobe Creative Cloud
• Own projects from concept through final production and delivery
• Maintain strong brand consistency across all channels and assets

Digital Marketing Execution

• Manage website content and updates through CMS platforms such as Sitecore or similar
• Build and deploy email marketing campaigns using Pardot or comparable platforms
• Support digital campaign optimization and user experience improvements

Team Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and support a small in‑house creative/marketing team
• Serve as a working manager by contributing directly to creative production
• Partner cross‑functionally with internal stakeholders to manage priorities and timelines

Analytics & Performance

• Track campaign performance using Salesforce and related marketing tools
• Analyze results and optimize messaging, creative, and campaign effectiveness

Required Experience

• 7‑10+ years of combined hands‑on creative and digital marketing experience
• Advanced expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere
• Strong experience producing both print and digital marketing materials
• Experience working within CMS platforms such as Sitecore
• Email marketing platform experience (Pardot or similar)
• Salesforce or related campaign tracking experience
• Previous experience leading a team while remaining actively involved in execution
• Portfolio required showcasing work personally created

What Makes You Stand Out

• Strong “lead by example” mentality
• Equal strength in creative execution and marketing strategy
• High attention to detail with strong organizational skills
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, collaborative, fully in‑office environment

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Graphic Design, or a related field preferred.

Important Notes

• This role is fully in‑office (no remote or hybrid options)
• Daily hands‑on creative production is a core requirement of the position
