John Bouchard & Sons Co. (JBS) - a fifth‑generation, family‑owned company with a trusted reputation for excellence - is seeking an experienced B2B marketing professional looking for a long‑term role with end-to-end responsibility in a diversified and growing organization. This will be a new full‑time role within JBS and we are looking for the right individual to help us solidify the function of marketing and communications within our growing organization. This position is for someone who has the drive and vision to help build the marketing function for lasting impact, not someone just looking for their next short‑term career step.

While execution and organization will be the initial focus as the individual acclimates to the organization, the role is expected to develop a strong understanding of JBS’s operations, customers, and markets so they will be well equipped to translate that knowledge into increasingly strategic contributions and measurable outcomes.
