The Role 

LeafLink is seeking an experienced Director of Brand & Content Marketing to join our fast-growing team. In this role, you will be tasked with creating and executing a best-in-class brand and content strategy for a complex B2B business. You will lead a team of talented brand and content marketers to help them achieve our team goals and grow in their careers, and will manage our relationships with key contractors and third party vendors. 

The ideal candidate for this role will have experience leading teams focused on driving growth through B2B brand and content marketing with a focus on customer acquisition and thought leadership. The right candidate will also be a content expert in their own right, and will be confident in their ability to create, project manage, execute, and iterate on content-focused campaigns, knowing how to get the most out of every piece of content.

You and your team will be responsible for overall content and brand strategy and you’ll run the integrated campaigns for all of our key business lines. You’ll bring impeccable organization, creative ideas, attention to detail, and proven execution to take our brand and content marketing to the next level. 

You will play a key role on our marketing leadership team, and be responsible for reporting packages that will be shared with executive leadership and company-wide. The role requires curiosity, and an analytical minded person. However, you’ll help write the playbook, rather than inherit one. You must be comfortable moving quickly, and dealing with a significant amount of ambiguity. You will receive direction, coaching, and mentorship, however you will need to be self-motivated, with a great deal of initiative.
