Senior Marketing Manager

The Senior Marketing Manager role at Directorie is essential to leading marketing initiatives for multiple clients and managing a team focused on implementation and execution of tactics. The Senior Marketing Manager must have a successful product and project management record, with tight timelines and resource challenges in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, device, and healthcare industries. These experiences could have been client-side or at an agency.

Unlike creative agencies, Directorie team members are embedded as part of the brand team alongside our clients. In this role, the Senior Marketing Manager will actively lead the execution of client marketing tactics by working collaboratively with their cross-functional and external partners. They'll guide the internal Directorie team to develop project plans and manage pull-through, ensuring projects are on-time and on-budget. Our purview often includes launch readiness planning and management, brand material development and support, advisory board and market research coordination/analysis, annual meeting and POA support, agency management, and MLR coordination. And the teams we work with span executive leadership and marketing to sales, operations, clinical, regulatory, and legal. The Senior Manager should be comfortable having an active voice about these subjects with these colleagues and guiding the mentorship and growth of team members.
