Additionally, Forte operates Rethink Precast Marketing (RPM), a specialized fractional marketing agency dedicated to the precast industry.

Position Overview

Forte is seeking a proactive and creative Marketing Associate for full-time work. In this role, you will be the primary driver of tactical execution across Forte’s three core business pillars: centralized demand generation, producer marketing services, and the Rethink Precast Marketing (RPM) agency.

Working closely with the Head of Marketing, you will be responsible for the hands-on, tactical production of marketing assets, from graphic design and social media management to email campaign deployment, CRM administration, and website landing page creation and maintenance. We are looking for a results-oriented professional who views tactical execution as a component of a larger system. This individual will not only deliver high-quality assets but will also consistently identify opportunities for optimization, playing an active role in architecting the foundational processes necessary to support our long-term growth objectives.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Execute the design and layout of high-quality marketing materials, including brochures, technical product catalogs, flyers, and digital assets using tools like Adobe Creative Suite or Canva.
• Own the daily operations of all social media accounts, including content scheduling, graphic creation, community engagement, and performance tracking.
• Assist in drafting and formatting blog posts, website updates, and technical documentation that translate engineered product features into clear value propositions.
• Manage the technical setup and distribution of multi-channel marketing campaigns across email, social media, and digital advertising platforms.
• Maintain the accuracy of the CRM system, ensuring lead data is current and leveraging the tool to support targeted marketing initiatives.
• Actively contribute to the development of repeatable marketing processes and asset libraries that will allow the department to scale efficiently.
• Conduct tactical market research and competitor analysis to provide the Head of Marketing with the data needed to refine brand strategies.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related field
• 5–7 years of relevant marketing experience, with a strong portfolio of creative and tactical execution.
• Proficiency in graphic design software (Adobe Creative Suite, Canva) and digital marketing tools (social media management, email automation, SEO).
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently, manage multiple deadlines, and suggest improvements to current workflows.
• Strong written and verbal skills
• A willingness to take direction from strategic leadership while contributing innovative ideas to the execution of campaigns.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with video editing and multimedia content creation.
• Background in B2B marketing within construction, manufacturing, or related technical industries.
• Experience working in a small, entrepreneurial, or agency environment.
• Retirement savings contribution – up to 5% match
• Health (medical, dental, vision) and Wellness Stipend
• Unlimited PTO/ vacation time
• Paid Holidays

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys building structure where little exists, values autonomy, and is motivated by measurable business impact over rigid corporate hierarchy.
