The Opportunity

If you live and breathe marketing, love generating bold ideas, and can confidently lead both clients and teams, we need to talk.

At Childcare Marketing, we are looking for a creative, innovative, and idea-driven Senior Marketing Strategist to spark momentum across our client accounts. We’ve built our reputation on taking childcare growth seriously, and this isn’t a passive data-tracking role. You will completely own the overarching vision, lead high-level client conversations, and turn visionary marketing concepts into high-performing campaigns. If you want to move past simple execution and truly lead the charge with an industry leader, this role is built for you.

 What You’ll Do (Your Core Impact)

  • Own the Strategy: Architect and champion comprehensive multi-channel marketing campaigns tailored to unique childcare client goals.
  • Lead Client Conversations: Command client meetings with confidence, guiding their strategic direction and helping them make critical growth decisions.
  • Drive Campaign Excellence: Define exactly what success looks like, establish precise KPIs, and manage optimization budgets to maximize ROI.
  • Mentor and Execute: Collaborate closely with our talented internal team of coordinators and designers to turn practical, visionary ideas into market reality.
  • Pioneer Innovation: Keep your finger on the pulse of the childcare and marketing industries, bringing fresh, curious thinking to every account brainstorming session.

How You’ll Show Up (Your Professional Style)

  • Confident Leader: You bring high energy to every meeting and command room presence when guiding internal teams or client stakeholders.
  • Action-Oriented: You create momentum. You don’t just spot a problem — you resourcefully solve it and drive it from idea to execution.
  • Autonomous Thinker: You lean on your intuition and data to make swift decisions, challenge outdated assumptions, and take extreme ownership without waiting for permission.

What Success Looks Like (Your KPIs)

  • Retention & Trust: Maintaining elite client satisfaction scores and establishing yourself as an indispensable partner to our center directors.
  • Strategic Value: Delivering deeply insightful, quarterly strategic roadmap updates to clients instead of just presenting basic data reports.
  • Growth Metrics: Consistently improving campaign metrics (CTR, CPA, Conversion Rates) quarter-over-quarter through calculated, data-backed pivots using GA4.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Expertise: Deep background leading and owning multi-channel marketing strategies for multiple clients simultaneously (agency environment preferred).
  • Financial Acumen: Comfort managing, allocating, and optimizing campaign budgets based on fluctuating performance and concrete ROI.
  • Analytical Mastery: Exceptional skill in interpreting web analytics tools to turn complex data points into actionable client stories.
  • Communication Powerhouse: Flawless written and verbal communication skills paired with the ability to navigate fast-paced agency environments with ease.
  • Tech-Savvy: Highly proficient with Google Suite and modern marketing software ecosystems.

How to Apply

Your application email must include:

  1. Your updated resume in PDF format, NO heavy images.
  2. A link to your portfolio or case studies showcasing successful multi-channel campaigns you have personally designed and managed.
  3. A short Loom video (under 3 minutes) introducing yourself, outlining your marketing experience, and explaining why you are the perfect fit to lead strategy at Childcare Marketing.
