Marketing Manager

C2's client, a Milwaukee-based global leader in water solutions, seeks a contract Marketing Manager to drive the marketing behind two simultaneous product launches for a lean, fast-moving team. The company designs and manufactures products that conserve and protect water across commercial, industrial, and residential markets, and odds are you have used one without knowing it. Their filtered bottle filling stations have kept tens of billions of single-use plastic bottles out of landfills and waterways. With more than a century of history, repeated recognition as one of America's Most Responsible Companies, and the large majority of revenue coming from products that conserve water and reduce waste, this is work you can feel genuinely good about. The Milwaukee marketing team is in a high-activity launch period, with two products moving through engineering at the same time plus ongoing run-the-business work in packaging and labeling. They need a marketing generalist and driver: someone with real commercial understanding of what a launch takes, who coordinates across functions, holds timelines and stakeholders together, and matches a lean team's pace from day one. This is not a writing or design hire, though those skills are welcome in the kit; it is a hire for a marketer who can stay in their lane, work autonomously, take direction, and drive results.
