Director of Marketing

Cogir Senior Living•Scottsdale, AZ

About The Position

We're looking for a bold, creative, and hands-on Director of Marketing to shape and elevate our brand across every touchpoint: partnerships, content, campaigns, and culture. This is the person who turns strategy into action, builds partnerships that actually move the needle, and makes sure our story gets told everywhere it matters. This is not a "manage from a distance" role. We need someone who can zoom out to think strategically and zoom back in to execute fast, someone equally comfortable pitching a partnership deck to leadership and jumping in to shoot content on-site the same afternoon. This person must be genuinely fluent across the full marketing toolkit: web design, digital marketing, PR, print, direct mail, social, and analytics and comfortable rolling up their sleeves to execute in any of them, not just direct others to. If you thrive in the trenches and at the whiteboard, this is your role.
