About The Position

As our Marketing & Brand Strategy Manager, you will lead and execute marketing communication initiatives that support business growth, customer engagement, product positioning, and brand visibility across multiple product categories and markets. You’ll be a true player/coach — developing content, managing priorities, coordinating resources, and partnering closely with Sales, Engineering, Operations, Product Development, Quality, and Leadership teams.

What Makes This Role Exciting:
This is not a “sit behind the desk and manage brand standards” type of marketing role. This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the business, close to the product, and close to the people making things happen. You’ll have the opportunity to:
Shape the voice and market presence of a growing manufacturing division.
Tell meaningful stories about innovation, quality, customer partnerships, and operational capability.
Work directly with technical experts, commercial leaders, and business decision makers.
Build marketing strategies that connect directly to customer engagement and revenue growth.
Bring structure, creativity, and momentum to a fast-paced, evolving business environment.

• Strong storytelling, copywriting, editing, presentation development, and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to turn complex technical or operational information into compelling customer-facing messaging.
• Experience supporting product launches, customer programs, trade shows, digital campaigns, and branded communication initiatives.
• Knowledge of digital marketing, social media, SEO, website content, analytics, and campaign performance tracking.
• Experience with tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, PowerPoint, WordPress, Wix, or comparable design/content platforms.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, stakeholders, and shifting priorities.
• Comfort working with both technical and commercial audiences, including engineers, operations leaders, sales teams, OEM representatives, and executives.
• A bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, Business, Public Relations, Graphic Design, or a related field is preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Prior leadership, supervisory, or marketing project ownership experience preferred.
• OEM, Tier-1, transportation, specialty vehicle, automotive-adjacent, or advanced manufacturing environments.
• Product marketing, customer segmentation, market positioning, or value proposition development.
• Video production, photography coordination, content editing, or visual storytelling.
• AI-assisted content creation or marketing productivity tools.
• ISO 9001, IATF 16949, VDA, or customer-sensitive manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute marketing communication strategies aligned with TSM’s business goals and growth priorities.
• Create compelling product messaging, customer-facing content, value propositions, and application-based storytelling.
• Translate technical manufacturing, engineering, and operational concepts into clear, customer-focused communications.
• Support product launches, customer programs, trade shows, industry events, digital campaigns, and branded initiatives.
• Build content across digital, print, video, presentation, social media, website, and sales enablement channels.
• Lead digital marketing efforts, including social media communication, website optimization, SEO support, digital branding, and campaign analytics.
