Job description

Reporting to the Global Marketing Communications Manager, the Marketing Communications Specialist drives go-to-market execution for G&W Electric’s Systems / ARR solutions portfolio.

• Participate in NPD gate meetings and coordinate with New Product Development, Product Marketing, and Sales to align campaign timing and content readiness with the Systems / ARR solution launch and rollout schedule.
• Build sales enablement tools (playbooks, battlecards, ROI/conversion materials) and produce and maintain marketing content and campaign assets (web content, presentations, case studies) from the strategic framework and messaging defined by Product Marketing.
• Monitor marketing channel and content performance trends to inform campaign tactics — partnering with Product Marketing on any positioning or competitive-differentiation implications.
• Ensure G&W Electric’s brand guidelines are implemented, and key messages are made visible in all marketing materials.
• Collaborate and manage projects with external vendors and agencies (for example design agencies, print houses, advertising outlets, PR agencies)
