Strategic Marketing Lead

About the role

The Strategic Marketing Lead is a full-time, 4-month temporary position responsible for designing, piloting, and documenting a marketing operating framework that the internal marketing team can own following the engagement. Candidates must be willing to work West Coast hours to ensure strong partnership with stakeholders.

Working closely with the Senior Director of Marketing, Business Development, executive leadership, and subject matter experts, you will organize Teague's expertise, case studies, thought leadership, strategic priorities, and business development needs into a clear, repeatable marketing system.

This is not a traditional demand generation or campaign management role. Success will be measured by your ability to create clarity, establish repeatable processes, develop strategic marketing assets, and leave behind a framework that supports long-term growth.
