Innovation Factory
Description
This posting is for a new role and an open vacancy.
The Marketing Manager owns how Innovation Factory’s brands show up across every marketing channel — digital, print, social, web, and earned media. You’ll lead the day-to-day marketing function: setting plans, running campaigns, watching the numbers, and making sure our brands (iF, CITM, Synapse, and emerging brands) tell a consistent, compelling story.
You’ll lead a lean, high-performing marketing team and partner closely with the Events Manager and all teams across the organization. You’re hands-on enough to jump into a campaign or press release and strategic enough to establish clear priorities for your team.
This role requires modern marketing and communication thinking and capabilities, including but not limited to; marketing strategy, communications, business development alignment, creative thinking, and internal consulting.
This role reports to the VP of Operations and is based in our Hamilton, Ontario office with some travel to our Burlington, Ontario location.
Core Responsibilities
Marketing Strategy & Execution
Innovation Factory (iF) is a not-for-profit business accelerator, providing entrepreneurs with business services, training, mentorship and strategic connections to help bring disruptive technologies to market, increase revenues, attract investment and create jobs.
Our mission is to be the primary catalyst for technology innovation in the greater Hamilton area with a vision to make Hamilton Canada’s fastest-growing innovation community and the first port of call for innovators. We will do this via direct 1-1 support for companies, creating partnerships, and building community. We will create an environment and culture that draws people outside of Hamilton as a place to invest, live, learn, work and start businesses.
The Innovation Factory is committed to a fair and inclusive work environment. We are an equal opportunity employer that hires and attracts talent regardless of age, race, creed, colour, religion, national origin, ancestry, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality, sex, status as a protected veteran or any other legally protected grounds and will not discriminate on these bases. Accommodation will be provided throughout the hiring process, as required. Applicants must make their needs known in advance.
