Marketing Manager, Architectural Products
Carpinteria, CA
Full Time
Experienced
Overview
If you thrive on turning insight into action — building marketing strategies that connect audiences, messaging, and channels to drive growth — this role is for you.We are seeking a Marketing Manager – Architectural Products skilled at defining positioning, value propositions, and messaging that clarifies what to say (not necessarily how to say it) to connect with our audiences and drive specifications and sales. The core of this role is hands-on: guiding messaging, defining content strategy, prioritizing channels, and aligning strategies across the funnel. You’ll track KPIs, optimize programs for performance, and lead CEU development, trade show strategy, and sales rep enablement — collaborating with product and brand leaders to ensure our tools, messaging, and channels all work together to drive growth.
Our portfolio includes high-end materials for feature walls and column covers, as well as elevator cab interior systems packaged with our materials. Because our audiences include both specifiers (architects and designers) and buyers (elevator contractors and building owners), this role requires a marketer who understands how to tailor strategies to each. For specifiers, that means building programs around education and inspiration — trade shows, CEUs, and thought leadership content. For contractors and buyers, it means delivering clarity and accessibility through PPC, SEO, trade publications, and direct communications. You’ll own the channel strategy for both audiences, ensuring each message meets its audience where they are and moves them toward specification and purchase.

- Develop marketing plans tailored to the motivations and behaviors of each audience.

- Lead CEU program development, trade show strategy, and sales rep enablement.
- Own the email marketing program end-to-end — develop strategy, set KPIs, and track performance to drive engagement.
- Collaborate with Product Managers and the Brand Content Manager to produce aligned collateral and sales tools.
- Manage PR and trade publication presence to extend reach and reinforce positioning.
Qualifications
- Proven success in developing and executing marketing strategies that drive measurable revenue growth.
- Experience in B2B marketing, ideally in building materials, architectural products, or commercial interiors.
- Strong understanding of how to market differently to specifiers (architects, designers) and buyers (contractors, building owners).

- Strong communicator with a mix of strategic thinking and hands-on execution skills.
