Description

The Marketing Manager leads content, web, public relations, and brand strategy for Tyler Technologies’ State & Federal market. This role is responsible for developing and executing an integrated content and communications strategy that strengthens Tyler’s market position, supports priority campaigns and programs, and equips sales and business leaders with compelling, relevant content.
