Marketing Manager
About The Position
Strategy Financial Group is an independent financial services firm dedicated to building long-term, trusted relationships with our clients. We take a thoughtful, personalized approach to financial planning, combining strategy, clarity, and genuine care. We are seeking a hands-on Marketing Manager who can translate strategy into execution, bring order to a high volume of projects, and lead with sound judgment. This person will manage the day-to-day work of a small marketing team while remaining actively involved in execution. This isn’t a traditional Marketing Manager role. We’re looking for a tactical, player-coach who can lead a small marketing team, manage a high volume of simultaneous projects, and think like a leader while remaining closely involved in the work, improving the department through stronger processes, technology, and automation. You’ll work closely with our Chief Marketing Officer, who owns long-term marketing strategy, positioning, and growth initiatives. You will translate that strategy into organized plans, clear accountability, and consistent execution. For the right person, this is an opportunity to make a visible impact on a growing organization.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree required
- 8+ years of progressive marketing experience, or an equivalent combination of experience demonstrating increasing responsibility
- Demonstrated experience managing people and leading complex, concurrent projects
- Proven success building, implementing, or substantially improving marketing operations, workflows, or project-management systems
- Broad digital-marketing fluency across multiple channels
- Strong marketing and creative judgment
- Excellent editing, proofreading, and quality-control skills
- Strong organizational, prioritization, project-management, and problem-solving abilities
- Strong written and verbal communication skills

- Willingness to remain hands-on in execution while leading others
- Must reside in the Phoenix metropolitan area and be available for regular in-person collaboration in a hybrid work environment
- Ability and willingness to attend approximately six company events per quarter, including events that may occur outside standard business hours
Nice To Haves
- Strong working knowledge of marketing technology, automation, and project-management tools
- Experience implementing, managing, or improving a CRM and/or marketing automation ecosystem; experience with Salesforce/Pardot, HubSpot, Marketo, or similar platforms is valuable
- Demonstrated experience using AI or automation to materially improve a business workflow, process, or team function
- Financial-services experience is not required. We can teach you our industry and compliance environment; leadership, judgment, accountability, and learning agility are more important.
Responsibilities
- Oversee the day-to-day operations of the marketing department and a small marketing team
- Turn strategic priorities into clear project plans with defined owners, timelines, dependencies, deliverables, and accountability
- Manage a high volume of concurrent initiatives across events, digital marketing, communications, content, creative, and company-wide projects
- Own and continuously improve marketing project-management systems, workflows, technology, and automations
- Identify practical uses of AI and automation that improve productivity, quality, and scalability
- Provide oversight for a marketing operation supporting 200+ events annually, including attending approximately six events per quarter
- Review marketing communications and creative materials for messaging, accuracy, brand consistency, and overall quality
- Maintain working knowledge across digital advertising, social media, email automation, SEO/AEO, website/CMS, content marketing, and video/YouTube
- Ensure marketing dashboards, CRM data, campaign results, and reporting processes are accurate and dependable
- Manage day-to-day relationships with selected agencies, technology vendors, and marketing partners
- Step into execution personally when needed; this is a hands-on leadership role, not a manage-from-the-sidelines position
Benefits
- Quarterly firm-performance bonus opportunity
- Weekly half-day Fridays supporting work-life balance
- Hybrid work environment with regular in-person collaboration
- A culture of trust, autonomy, and ownership
- Professional, collaborative, and people-first environment
