You will manage and oversee the marketing performance of our commerce and content-based websites through the development, execution, analysis and reporting of integrated strategies developed to impact 20+ brands. While you’ll touch most or all of the portfolio over time, initially, you will focus heavily on 5-6 key brands.

You will test and improve outcomes based on data and channel level performance, and implement best practices to optimize results. Additionally, you will partner with other digital marketers to orchestrate a formula to optimize all efforts to meet/exceed established KPI’s and ensure Implus provides an industry-leading digital experience.

  • Develop and maintain a series of KPI’s that will consistently elevate the channel performance.
  • Directly interface with the internal IT/Development team to structure segmentation-based data points to ensure Implus brands provide a world-class personalized experience.
  • Develop engagement level and financial based goals for this vital digital marketing channel. These should vary by brand and the performance goals will be a key factor in determining levels of success.
  • The ideal candidate must have a good understanding of user experience (UX) e-commerce based best practices. Implus has many brand commerce websites, and therefore many different target audiences.  Therefore, the understanding of data-driven decisions is a need for this role.
  • Partner with all areas of the business. In this role, it is important to develop and maintain relationships with all functional areas of the Implus organization.
  • Manage peripheral agencies and partners

More Good Reasons

Autonomy & support
As long as you are effectively meeting your goals, you will enjoy a good deal of autonomy in managing and executing your work. Of course, when support is needed, you'll find strong expertise in your supervisor and other team members. ​

We hire with an eye to the future, looking for professionals with the bandwidth to grow along with us. And keep in mind, the Digital Marketing team is a high-priority initiative that's being closely watched. Your successes will be noticed and you'll have exposure from the CEO down.

The best of both worlds
You'll enjoy the best of both worlds -- an entrepreneurial environment where the sky is the limit as far as what's possible, alongside the strength of a global organization with long-term success and an ongoing growth initiative.

Positive company culture
Our culture is how we work together to serve our customers and grow. Our values foster an energized team environment, build on our strengths, promote innovation, and encourage accountability, commitment, and teamwork. Our philosophy is people over process.

Upon joining us, you'll learn our brands, core consumers, current efforts and long-range goals. This is a data-heavy role, and while you won't immediately be responsible for the numbers, eventually you'll use the data to demonstrate the reach of each digital footprint and prove performance.  

While initial KPIs and the high-level goals are sketched out, you'll have the opportunity to drive corporate strategy, and influence success at the brand level.
