Director of Marketing

Director of Marketing

A high-growth, private equity-backed industrial services company is seeking a Director of Marketing to build and lead its marketing function from the ground up.

This is a unique opportunity for a strategic, business-minded marketing leader who wants to create and own a modern marketing engine within a rapidly scaling organization. The company is experiencing strong growth, investing in infrastructure, and expanding through both organic initiatives and acquisitions.

This role is best suited for someone who understands how to translate business drivers into marketing strategy—and then build and execute against that strategy to drive measurable growth.

Location: Baton Rouge, LA (Hybrid flexibility considered) or Houston, TX (if based in HOU, must be willing to travel one week each month to corporate HQ)

You'll partner closely with executive leadership and play a key role in aligning marketing efforts to revenue and growth objectives.
