Senior Marketing Manager

What if marketing had a seat at the table — and you were helping shape the conversation?

This Senior Marketing Manager role offers the opportunity to do exactly that. As marketing continues to evolve into a strategic business partner within the organization, they're looking for an experienced B2B marketer who can connect customer insights, business goals, and marketing initiatives into a clear plan for growth.

Smart, Savvy + Associates is partnering with a large, established industrial organization in their search for a Senior Marketing Manager. This newly created role was built in response to the growing complexity of one of the company's largest business units and offers the opportunity to influence both marketing strategy and business outcomes at a significant scale.

Working closely with senior stakeholders, you'll help shape go-to-market strategy, identify growth opportunities, and elevate how marketing supports a complex, relationship-driven business. You'll join a collaborative, high-performing team that is increasingly being invited to the strategic table.

This is a role for someone who enjoys asking questions, challenging assumptions, and bringing forward new ideas backed by insight and data. If you're energized by turning business objectives into meaningful marketing strategies and want the opportunity to make a visible impact, we'd love to hear from you.
