Tools & Design : Working familiarity with email automation platforms and WordPress CMS, sufficient to direct and evaluate a marketing partner's output, plus hands-on, day-to-day administration of membership CRMs (GrowthZone), plus hands-on proficiency with Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite and working knowledge of graphic design principles (layout, typography, brand consistency), sufficient to produce or closely direct polished sponsor decks, event collateral, and publication layouts. Own the marketing departmental budget process : build the annual forecast with the Leadership Team using historical Finance data and department priorities (including marketing partner fees); monitor spend against caps and flag variances early; and negotiate vendor agreements, deliverables, and invoices in collaboration with the relevant department lead, with Finance oversight on contract thresholds.
