As a member of a small, collaborative Marketing team, the Marketing Specialist will manage multiple campaigns and projects simultaneously while working closely with Sales, Community Engagement, Product, and other internal teams. This individual should be comfortable moving between strategy and execution—from developing campaign plans and messaging to coordinating direct mail, email, digital advertising, events, and other lead-generation activities.

Develop campaign briefs, timelines, audience strategies, messaging, offers, and calls to action. Coordinate with internal partners and external vendors to ensure campaigns are delivered accurately, on time, and within budget. Work closely with Residential Sales, Business Sales, and the Communities division to understand growth priorities and develop marketing programs that support their goals. Monitor campaign performance and key metrics, including leads, conversion rates, customer acquisition, cost per lead, and return on marketing investment. Use performance data and customer insights to recommend improvements and optimize future campaigns. Help develop clear, compelling marketing content that reflects United Communications’ brand voice and value proposition. Support product market expansions, promotional offers, and other go-to-market initiatives. Maintain marketing calendars, project plans, campaign documentation, and status updates.

Experience developing campaign messaging and working with creative teams or outside vendors. Ability to analyze marketing results and translate data into practical recommendations.
