Marketing Manager

Marketing Manager (Hands-On Player-Coach)

Were looking for a hands-on Marketing Manager who can operate in a hybrid marketing modelpartnering closely with agencies while still rolling up their sleeves when execution needs to happen internally.

Our agency partners handle much of the day-to-day execution but there are critical areas where only an IPT employee can step in: field marketing conferences internal coordination special projects overflow work and anything that requires context judgment or fast turnaround.

This is not a set it and forget it agency management role. Its a player-coach position for someone who wants ownership visibility and real impact.

What Youll Do

Manage Agencies (Hybrid Model)

• Act as the day-to-day owner of agency relationships
• Provide clear briefs context priorities and feedback to agencies
• Ensure agency execution aligns with IPTs strategy brand and timelines
• Step in personally when work is time-sensitive specialized or not suitable for agency execution
• Manage agency budgets invoices and performance

Execute Marketing(Yes Youll Do the Work)

• Handle hands-on marketing tasks that sit outside or overflow agency execution
• Create update and customize marketing materials: presentations sales collateral case studies event materials
• Manage website updates internal campaigns and special initiatives that require internal ownership
• Order manage and track branded swag and marketing inventory

Own Events & Field Marketing

• Plan and execute IPTs participation in conferences trade shows and industry events
• Coordinate booth logistics: signage shipping swag staffing and setup
• Attend conferences and represent IPT on-site
• Support webinars client events and customer-facing marketing activities

Lead Without Losing Touch

• Translate company goals into practical executable marketing plans
• Maintain brand consistency across all channels and deliverables
• Partner closely with Sales Product and Leadership
• Take ownership when things need to get doneregardless of where they sit

Our Marketing Model

• Agencies handle most repeatable and scalable execution
• IPT owns strategy prioritization quality and accountability
• This role fills the gap where:
  • Speed matters
  • Context matters
  • Presence matters (events internal coordination special projects)

If you expect zero hands-on execution this role wont be a fit.
If you enjoy knowing when to delegate and when to jump in youll thrive here.

What This Role Is (and Isnt)

This role IS:

• Hybrid: agency-led execution internal ownership
• Hands-on when needed
• Close to the business and visible
• Accountable for outcomes not just plans

This role is NOT:

• Purely strategic
• A pass-through to agencies
• A role where thats not my job works  

Why This Role Matters

Marketing at IPT isnt abstract. It shows up in booths decks campaigns and conversations with customers. This role ensures that nothing falls through the cracks between agency work and internal reality.

If you like owning the gray areas and making things happen wed love to talk.
