Marketing Coordinator

Position Title: Marketing Coordinator

Location: Huntsville, AL / Onsite

Reports To: Marketing Operations Manager

Employment Type: Full-time, Exempt

Position Summary

The Marketing Coordinator keeps marketing moving across every channel for Rural Metro Fire and Capstone Fire & Safety Management. This role runs trade shows, market-level social media, Google Business Profiles, email and direct mail sends, printed collateral, and local website content, and serves as the front door for every marketing request in the company. Key priorities include Rural Metro Fire's subscription membership program, business development in industrial and municipal markets, and Capstone's wildfire and confined space services.

This is an execution role with real ownership. Reporting to the Marketing Operations Manager, the Coordinator manages dozens of projects at once, keeps agency and vendor partners on schedule, and makes sure every campaign is built correctly in Salesforce so results can be measured. The Marketing Operations Manager turns the company's go-to-market strategy into plans, priorities, and budgets; the Coordinator owns the channels, the schedule, and the follow-through, and is the person who knows the status of everything.
