Build and lead AFC's marketing function to drive qualified pipeline and revenue across our trucking, brokerage, and leasing business lines.

• Ensure messaging is consistent and actionable in the field

Content and Social Authority

• Operational differentiators and customer outcomes
• Thought leadership that positions AFC as a trusted logistics partner
• Establish an efficient content engine (calendar, production process, distribution plan)

RevOps and CRM Alignment (HubSpot)

• Align marketing and sales through HubSpot workflows and clean reporting
• Own the operational backbone of marketing performance, including:
• Lead lifecycle definitions and qualification criteria
• Attribution, funnel conversion reporting, and pipeline impact
• Lead handoff SLAs and feedback loops with sales
• Improve lead routing, nurture journeys, and lifecycle hygiene to increase conversion
• Brand and Market Positioning

• Establish consistent positioning and messaging across all customer touchpoints
• Strengthen AFC's presence in the logistics market through clear differentiation and professional execution
• Ensure AFC shows up with a cohesive voice across web, collateral, campaigns, and outbound support

What Success Looks Like (First 6 to 12 Months)

• Increased volume of qualified pipeline tied to revenue outcomes
• Improved win rates, deal size, and sales productivity through better enablement
• Stronger market presence and credibility (especially on LinkedIn and in industry circles)
• Clear alignment between marketing and sales, with shared definitions, process, and reporting
• A scalable marketing foundation (systems, content engine, campaign rhythm, measurement)

Ideal Candidate

• 3 to 5+ years in B2B marketing, with experience in logistics/freight/trucking strongly preferred (or closely related B2B services)
• Revenue-first mindset: focuses on pipeline quality, conversion, and closed-won impact
• Proven partner to sales teams, with experience building enablement that gets used
• Builder mentality: comfortable creating strategy and executing hands-on, especially in an early-stage function
• Strong operational discipline: able to build repeatable processes for content, campaigns, and reporting
• Experience with HubSpot (or similar CRM/marketing automation) and using data to drive decisions
