Marketing Operations Specialist

About The Role

Our client—a fast‑growing, nationally recognized leader in education and live events—is seeking a

Marketing Operations Specialist

to join their dynamic marketing team. This is a unique opportunity for a driven professional who thrives in fast‑paced environments and wants to make a measurable impact on a business scaling rapidly.

Why This Role Is Exciting

You’ll be the strategic connector between internal teams and external agencies, ensuring campaigns run flawlessly and deliver results.

You’ll have a front‑row seat to go‑to‑market strategy, live events, and digital funnels—perfect for someone who loves seeing ideas turn into execution.

This is not a rigid, cookie‑cutter role. If you’re energized by ambiguity, problem‑solving, and building structure where needed, you’ll excel here.

What You’ll Do

Act as the air traffic controller for marketing operations—owning campaigns, funnels, landing pages, and CRM workflows (HubSpot).

Partner with the CMO to translate strategy into execution, ensuring every initiative is optimized for success.

Collaborate with media buying teams and agencies to fix broken pieces before they become costly issues.

Streamline and optimize landing pages and conversion paths (why have 7–9 pages when you can make them work smarter?).

Analyze performance data to understand what content and messaging resonate—and pivot quickly when they don’t.

Support go‑to‑market execution for live events, virtual offerings, and community initiatives.

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of experience in marketing operations, growth marketing, or a related role.

Exposure to event‑driven marketing is a huge plus.

Understanding of media buying and experience working with internal and external stakeholders.

Highly detail‑oriented, yet able to think strategically and see the big picture.

Comfortable in chaotic, evolving environments—adaptable, not rigid.

Hungry to learn, able to work autonomously, and excited to grow with the team.

The Environment

This is a high‑energy, collaborative team that values creativity and results. You’ll work closely with a CMO who is passionate about building a best‑in‑class marketing engine, alongside agencies and internal stakeholders who are equally committed to success.
