Digital Marketing Specialist

We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic, and creative team member to join our growing marketing team. We support 20+ companies within the Buyers Edge Platform. Our priorities are often shifting quickly as we operate similarly to a Marketing Agency serving our various stakeholders. At any given moment, the members of our department are likely focused on 15 separate projects.

The Digital Marketing Specialist will be responsible for day-to-day management of multiple digital marketing campaigns across paid search, display, and social advertising for multiple brands. Beyond paid media, this role also builds and updates landing pages, supports technical and on-page SEO work, and helps maintain conversion tracking from website to Salesforce.
