  • Track marketing performance using data insights to understand what's working and identify opportunities for improvement.

Marketing Operations & Execution
  • Own marketing initiatives from concept through completion, balancing multiple priorities while maintaining a high standard for quality and follow-through.
  • Manage Earthscape's digital assets and coordinate photography, videography, and other creative production.
  • Strengthen marketing workflows, systems, and documentation to improve how work gets done as the team grows.
  • Explore new tools, technology, and AI to improve creative workflows and marketing effectiveness.
  • Partner with reps and train colleagues on our marketing platforms and asset use to ensure brand alignment and work efficiency.

Campaigns & Collaboration

  • Support on- and off-site Marketing and Business Development events and conferences through strong content, communications, and marketing execution.
  • Independently translate broad direction into high-quality marketing deliverables and campaigns.
  • Be a team player who is eager to jump in and help out with new initiatives when things evolve and grow.

What we're looking for:

We care about creativity and great ideas, but we're equally interested in your ability to take ownership, make things happen, and deliver great work.
  • Degree in marketing, communications, public relations, photography, advertising, a similar field or equivalent real-world experience that shows you know your stuff.
  • 5+ years of experience crafting great content and rocking marketing campaigns with top-tier storytelling skills (both words and visuals)
  • Comfort using Adobe Creative Cloud, including Photoshop and InDesign.
  • Experience managing a WordPress website and using Google Suite.
  • Experience creating and managing social media accounts for a B2B business.
  • Bringing a proactive, self-starting mindset to problem-solving and anticipating needs before they arise.
  • Data-driven mindset where you read analytics and know how to use them to level up our content.
  • Collaborative spirit who plays well with others, works beautifully on their own, and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Genuine passion for our mission to bring play to the world.
  • Experience working on a small in-house marketing team is an asset.

What's in it for you?

This role offers the opportunity to work on some of the world's most innovative playground projects while helping tell the stories behind the people, ideas, and craftsmanship that bring them to life.

You'll work alongside a highly skilled, committed group of people who care deeply about the work and hold a high standard for how things get done.
