Marketing & Sales Strategy Manager
Location: Scarborough, ON (In-Office)
Job Type: Full-Time

Role Summary

The Marketing & Sales Strategy Manager is responsible for developing and leading the company's marketing strategy while overseeing department planning, campaign direction, KPI performance, brand initiatives, and sales-marketing alignment. This role ensures that marketing activities are focused, measurable, and aligned with the company's growth goals, including customer growth, deal frequency, average deal value, lead generation, and internal engagement.

The role serves as a key bridge between Marketing and Sales by developing marketing-driven enablement initiatives, campaign strategies, training materials, performance reporting, and process improvements that help the Sales team engage customers more effectively and drive business growth.
