Marketing Manager
We're looking for an
on-site Marketing Manager to join a growing and highly respected leader in the marine, recreation, and powersports industry.
Our client has experienced significant growth over the past several years and has built a strong reputation by delivering an exceptional customer experience, fostering a people-first culture, and embracing innovation.

You will oversee a growing marketing function, guide content and digital initiatives, manage marketing investments, and develop innovative campaigns that strengthen brand presence and generate qualified leads.
Reporting directly to senior leadership, you'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact on a successful and evolving organization.
