Vice President Marketing Job in Old Toronto Recruiting by CLevelCrossing

We’re searching for an innovative VP of Marketing to join our agency. If you’re right for this role, then you’ll definitely have a passion for developing brand and marketing strategy, setting and achieving targets aligned with broader business goals, establishing relationships with press and internal client teams, and leading the Marketing and Comms team. You’ve got a crystal-clear view of the digital landscape, and you’re eager to guide our overall marketing plan across brand, media, public relations, market research, issues management, crisis communication, awards, and marketing-related customer relationship and engagement activities—all essential to building our agency’s brand reputation and expanding awareness across the industry. You’re also a gifted leader, too, ready to directly oversee our small-but-mighty marketing and comms team while working very closely and collaboratively with our business development team.
You’re no stranger to marketing. Far from it. In fact, you’ve got extensive marketing experience, (in a digital agency setting, no less) and the ability to make decisions under pressure. A keen multitasker who thrives in a competitive environment—that’s you. But you don’t want to work just anywhere. You’re looking for a place where everyone has everyone else’s back. A place where we sink or swim together. A place where we inspire one another to think bigger, push harder, and take the right risks. A team that lives by the values “Honest, Inspired, Driven, Purposeful, Real, and Equal” is the kind of team you want to work with.
So, if this all sounds good to you—and if you consider yourself an entrepreneurial self-starter with an ability to handle strategic brand management, review budgets, set goals, and shape our image in the marketplace—come talk to us!
