About the Role
Reporting to Activant’s Head of Marketing and Design, you will be an integral part of our growing firm, at the center of developing and executing the firm’s marketing and brand-building strategy. This is a role for a builder, and you get to be the creative technician.
- Plan, build, and launch marketing and communications campaigns to position Activant as the premier commerce growth investor.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Activant’s events, talent, and research teams, as well as external stakeholders and vendors (e.g. PR, copywriters, designers) to execute these campaigns.
- Coordinate with investment and research teams to transform proprietary research into powerful marketing content and collateral.
- Monitor and maintain Activant’s public presence across all channels: e.g., web, social, press, newsletter, and events.
- Test, report, analyze, and iterate on campaigns, combining creative and quantitative approaches.
- Establish and maintain relationships with media outlets, influencers, and industry partners to enhance brand visibility and credibility.
- Stay informed about industry news, trends, and competitor activities to ensure marketing strategy remains up-to-date and relevant.
- Work with the Head of Marketing and Design to support Activant portfolio companies through tactical branding, storytelling, and marketing projects with founders and leaders, as well as provide ongoing counsel.
Experience and Qualifications
- 1-4 years of experience in marketing and/or social media, ideally in a tech, startup, or investing environment. Experience with the venture and investing landscape and/or commerce market is a plus.
- Bachelor's degree required, preferably in a marketing, communications, or related field.
- Must have authorization to work in the U.S.
- Excellent written, presentation, and verbal communication skills which can be leveraged across all marketing collateral (digital, social, print, in-person).
- Strong project management skills, ability to execute against timelines, with an exacting attention to detail.
- Fluency in social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok, et al.) as well as familiarity with marketing, content, and reporting tools (e.g., CMS, web & social analytics).
- Competency with graphics software (e.g., Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop) is a huge plus, and experience with video editing (e.g., Final Cut, Premiere), even bigger. Above all, though, a willingness to learn and master the tools required to get the job done.
Even if you don’t check all of these boxes, if you want to build a defining brand in an environment with room for uncapped growth, let’s talk.
Compensation and Benefits
- Annual base salary range of $65,000 to $95,000, plus annual discretionary bonus. Activant considers a number of factors when determining compensation, including, but not limited to relevant experience and skills.
