Job description

Title: Marketing Manager

Reports to: CEO

Position: Exempt, Salary

Location: Hybrid, Phoenix, AZ

ZELUS Is a U.S.-owned BIM And VDC Consulting Firm With Roughly 17 Years In The Field, Working In All 50 States For 20+ Fortune 500 Clients. We Serve Owners, Developers, Architects, Contractors And Engineers Through Two Divisions

• Existing Conditions (ExCon) — laser scanning and reality capture by our own field crews, delivered as accurate scan-to-BIM models.
• Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) — model coordination and subject-matter expertise that keeps complex builds on schedule and on budget.

Our goal is simple: be the best and most recognized scan-to-BIM and VDC company in the United States.

The role

The Marketing Manager owns ZELUS's pipeline engine and national brand. You'll build an AI-powered marketing operation that fills the sales funnel with qualified owner, GC and design-firm leads, and make ZELUS the first name people think of for scan-to-BIM and VDC.

This is a builder role, not a maintenance role. You'll test new go-to-market plays fast, keep what works, cut what doesn't, and show the numbers behind every decision.

Lead generation

• Build and run multi-channel demand generation — LinkedIn, paid search, email nurture, webinars and industry events — aimed at owners, developers, GCs, architects and engineers.
• Use AI tools to identify target accounts, enrich contact data, score intent and personalize outreach at scale.
• Run account-based marketing for Fortune 500 owners and top national GCs, in lockstep with business development.
• Own the CRM and marketing automation stack: clean data, clear lead stages, and a clean handoff from marketing-qualified to sales-qualified.
• Track cost per lead, pipeline created and win rate by channel, and shift budget to what produces revenue.

Brand recognition

• Sharpen ZELUS's positioning so the market sees one clear story: accurate scan-to-BIM and VDC, delivered nationally, by a firm with 17 years of proof.
• Turn project wins into case studies, before-and-after model visuals, short videos and client testimonials.
• Grow ZELUS's presence at key industry events and associations (e.g., AGC, AIA, SMPS, Autodesk University, SPAR/Geo Week), including speaking slots and awards submissions.
• Lead website strategy, SEO and content so ZELUS ranks for the searches our buyers make — "scan to BIM", "laser scanning services", "VDC coordination".
• Build thought leadership for ZELUS leaders on LinkedIn and in trade press.

AI-driven go-to-market

• Make AI part of how marketing works every day: content drafting, research, campaign testing, analytics and reporting.
• Set up AI-enabled workflows that let a lean team produce like a large one, with clear review standards for accuracy and brand voice.
• Watch how buyers now find vendors through AI search and assistants, and make sure ZELUS shows up there.
• Test new channels and plays quickly, measure them honestly, and scale the winners.

Planning and budget

• Build the annual marketing plan and budget tied to ZELUS growth targets by division.
• Report monthly to the CEO on pipeline, spend and return.
• Manage agencies, freelancers and tools; hire as the function grows.

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ years in B2B marketing, with at least 2 years owning lead generation and a pipeline number.
• Hands-on, daily use of AI tools for content, research, analytics and campaign execution — and a portfolio that shows it.
• Proven results growing a brand and pipeline for a professional-services or technical firm.
• Strong command of a CRM and marketing automation platform (e.g., HubSpot or Salesforce).
• Comfort with data: you set up tracking, read the numbers and make the call.
• Clear, sharp writing and the judgment to keep technical content accurate.
• Self-starter who moves fast and owns outcomes.

Preferred

• Experience marketing to the AEC industry — owners, GCs, architects or engineers.
• Working knowledge of BIM, VDC, Revit, laser scanning or reality capture.
• Account-based marketing experience with enterprise or Fortune 500 buyers.
• Experience managing agencies and a marketing budget.
• SMPS membership or CPSM certification.
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business or a related field.
