Marketing Manager About the Role Stratus Estate Buyers is looking for a Marketing Manager to help drive the marketing strategy and execution behind our estate buying events and continued company growth. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how to turn marketing dollars into measurable results and is equally comfortable executing campaigns, analyzing performance, managing media partners, and determining where our marketing investment will have the greatest impact. A major focus of this position will be media buying, media vendor management, and marketing budget analysis. The Marketing Manager will evaluate campaign performance, manage relationships with media and advertising partners, analyze marketing spend and ROI, and use data to answer an important question: Is our marketing working, and how do we make it better? The Marketing Manager will also play an important role in expanding Stratus's network of jewelry store partners. By developing targeted B2B campaigns and identifying new opportunities within the industry, this person will help build a strong pipeline of prospective partners for our Sales team. The role will span the full marketing mix—from media and event promotion to digital, direct mail, email, social, content, and brand—requiring someone who can connect strategy, execution, and performance across multiple channels. What You'll Do Develop and execute marketing strategies that support company growth, estate buying event performance, and jewelry store partner satisfaction. Lead the planning, execution, and optimization of media buys and multi-channel marketing campaigns, including digital advertising, direct mail, email, social media, and local promotions. Manage relationships with media partners, agencies, and marketing vendors, including evaluating performance, managing spend, and holding partners accountable for results. Own and analyze marketing budgets and campaign spend, using ROI, campaign performance, lead generation, and other key metrics to evaluate effectiveness and guide future investment decisions. Develop and execute B2B marketing initiatives that build awareness with prospective jewelry store partners and generate qualified leads and opportunities for the Sales team. Oversee marketing campaigns for estate buying events nationwide, ensuring campaigns are executed accurately, effectively, and on schedule. Track and analyze campaign performance and translate marketing data into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership. Maintain a consistent Stratus brand across marketing materials, websites, social media, partner communications, and other channels. Create and manage content for websites, email campaigns, social media, blogs, press releases, and other marketing channels. Partner with internal teams, jewelry store partners, Sales, and external vendors to execute marketing initiatives and continuously improve results. Represent Stratus at industry events, trade shows, conferences, and networking opportunities as needed. What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. 3+ years of progressive experience in marketing, brand management, campaign management, or a related field. Demonstrated experience planning and managing media buys across multiple marketing channels. Experience managing media, advertising, or agency relationships and evaluating vendor performance. Strong experience with marketing budget management and analysis, including the ability to evaluate campaign results, ROI, and effectiveness and make recommendations based on the data. Experience developing or executing B2B marketing and lead-generation initiatives that support a sales organization. Proven ability to plan and execute successful marketing campaigns with measurable results. Experience with digital marketing platforms, CRM systems, email marketing, social media, and website management. Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate marketing data into actionable business recommendations. Excellent communication, project management, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Comfortable managing multiple campaigns, vendors, deadlines, and priorities in a fast-paced environment. Willingness to travel periodically for partner visits, trade shows, company events, and other business needs. Self-motivated, collaborative, creative, and results-oriented. What Success Looks Like The right candidate for this role won't simply execute marketing campaigns—they'll understand why they're working, what they're costing, and what we're getting in return. They'll be able to look at marketing spend and performance, identify what's driving results, challenge what's not, and make thoughtful recommendations about where Stratus should invest next. Success will also mean helping marketing contribute directly to growth on both sides of the business: bringing customers to our estate buying events and creating new opportunities for our Sales team to develop new partner relationships.
