About the role
Digital Marketing Manager (Player-Coach: Hands-On Creative + Team Leadership)
About
We are partnering with a leading, well-established organization in the insurance space to hire a Digital Marketing Manager.
This is a high-impact, fully in-office role for a hands-on creative leader who actively produces work—not just directs it.
If you primarily manage agencies or focus on strategy without executing design or production work yourself, this role is not a fit.
Compensation
- $130,000 - $170,000 base salary (depending on experience)
- Full-time, permanent
- Fully in-office (no remote or hybrid)
What You’ll Do
Hands-On Creative Production (50-60% of role)
- Personally design and produce digital and print marketing assets daily
- Create videos, graphics, presentations, and collateral using Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
- Own projects end-to-end: concept → design → production → final delivery
- Ensure all creative meets brand standards and business objectives
Digital Marketing Execution (20-30%)
- Manage and update website content via CMS (Sitecore or similar)
- Build and deploy email campaigns (Pardot or similar)
- Optimize user experience and digital performance across channels
Leadership & Team Management (20%)
- Lead and mentor a small internal creative/marketing team
- Act as a working manager (you will produce work alongside your team)
- Manage timelines, priorities, and cross-functional stakeholders
Analytics & Optimization
- Track campaign performance using Salesforce and marketing tools
- Use data to refine creative, messaging, and campaign effectiveness
Must-Have Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
- 7-10+ years of experience in hands-on creative + digital marketing roles
- Advanced, daily-use expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud (you must currently design/produce work yourself)
- Strong print AND digital production experience
- Experience with CMS platforms (Sitecore or similar)
- Email marketing platform experience (Pardot or similar)
- Salesforce or similar for campaign tracking
- Proven experience managing a team while remaining hands-on
- Portfolio required (must include examples you personally created)
This Role Is NOT For
- Pure people managers who do not execute creative work
- Strategists who rely on agencies or external designers
- Candidates without a current, hands-on design/production portfolio
What Sets You Apart
- True “player-coach” mindset—you lead by doing
- Equal strength in creative execution and marketing strategy
- High attention to detail and strong organizational skills
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, highly collaborative, in-office environment
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Graphic Design, or related field
Important
- This is a fully in-office role (no remote/hybrid)
- Hands-on Adobe Creative Cloud expertise is required—this is a core, daily responsibility
