About The Role

Vision of the Role

Want to lead marketing programs that transform an industry? With more and more jobs that need to be filled and less and less qualified candidates, the marketing programs you develop have unlimited potential to drive real business impact for Parqa clients in the Staffing & Recruiting industry. You will gain exposure to a wide variety of industries, from IT and HR to Manufacturing and Health Care, but benefit from consistency of projects with a focus on an industry that serves them all! You can be the guiding hand in launching sophisticated marketing programs that helps employers find much needed talent and candidates find meaningful employment.

Role Focus

Project Planning – the moment you hear of a new opportunity with a new or existing client, your head starts populating Gantt charts of the tasks and timelines needed to meet and exceed client expectations. You’re the type of person who uses project management software for household chores or planning vacations.
Project Management & Coordination – you love organization and probably own a label maker. To you, project management is more than a task list. You manage projects by utilizing teamwork and communication to vet and manage resources based upon timelines. You coordinate the moving pieces smoothly – but when friction arises you have agile and thoughtful solutions/ideas. You deliver because you know how to get things done.
Digital Marketing Tactic Knowledge – you understand the dependencies needed to execute digital marketing tactics based on strategic plans created by our amazing Strategists and Account Managers. You know how to translate the strategy roadmap into actionable steps needed to deliver a killer product (e.g., brand guidelines, buyer journeys, websites, automated campaigns, etc.)
Teamwork & Communication – “on track” is your middle name. You love working with a team and you probably coach kids’ soccer (bless you). You bring efficiencies in communication and accountability to the table that work for the betterment of the agency, the clients, and the team.
Process Process Process – what’s better than a well thought out and executed workflow? A well-documented one. You make sure that what we do is documented and improved upon every time.

In this role, you will:
Analyze project strategy to determine requirements and prepare related budgets and schedules
Own client communication, setting and meeting expectations for delivery, for the duration of the project

Lead projects spanning a wide variety of digital marketing programs such as brand development, web site building, social media management, paid media campaigns, marketing automation, data enablement, and technical implementation
Manage third-party vendors including website development and freelance creative resources
Contribute to strategic growth of the organization and brand positioning for the firm overall
