Reporting to: VP of Marketing
Employment type: Contract 
Level: Manager
Time commitment: Part-time, 20 hrs/week
Location: Remote, US-based (or NY/SF office)
Start date: ASAP (contract)

The Channel Marketing Manager owns how Highwire's marketing reaches, moves and converts audiences across social, online events, email and CRM. This person sets the strategy for each channel, designs the lifecycle programs that carry a contact from first touch to sales conversation, partners with the internal paid media team on amplification, and reports on performance so leadership can see what drives pipeline.

The role works side by side with the Senior Marketing Coordinator, who leads execution across these channels. The Channel Marketing Manager sets direction, signs off on launches and brings the analytical depth that connects channel activity to revenue.

The role suits a hands-on marketer who is comfortable setting channel strategy and building the systems that deliver it. The contract period establishes the channel program and its reporting foundation, with the expectation of converting to a full-time role.
