• Collaborate with firm leadership and subject matter experts to identify timely topics, develop original perspectives, and maintain a consistent content pipeline.
• Repurpose existing expertise and materials into articles, newsletters, website content, webinar presentations, and social media posts.

• Recommend practical, cost-effective marketing initiatives aligned with the firm's growth objectives.
• Develop a focused marketing calendar and prioritize activities that deliver the greatest impact within the available hours.
• Monitor engagement and performance metrics, assess results, and recommend improvements.
• Maintain consistent branding, messaging, and professional standards across marketing channels.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of marketing experience, preferably within a professional services firm such as an accounting firm, financial advisory firm, consulting firm, law firm, or similar organization.
• Significant hands-on experience developing and executing LinkedIn marketing campaigns and content strategies.
• Demonstrated experience developing webinars and serving as a presenter, moderator, or facilitator.
