About the role

Shape the marketing strategy for the institutional and corporate practices of a growing registered investment advisory firm.

Build trusted relationships with business leaders, lead a team, and turn sophisticated offerings into campaigns that reach institutional decision-makers and deliver measurable results.

What You Will Be Doing:
Develop annual marketing plans across 4-5 institutional and B2B business areas, aligning campaigns, budgets, and KPIs with growth goals.
Lead integrated campaigns across content, digital, paid media, earned media, and strategic partnerships.
Partner with business leaders and marketing colleagues to translate complex financial concepts into compelling stories for institutional buyers.
Manage and develop a team, giving colleagues clear ownership while keeping projects moving and standards high.
Track results and share monthly performance dashboards with stakeholders and leadership.
Test new ideas, refine what works, and help build a marketing function with lasting impact.
What You Bring:
10+ years of institutional marketing experience in financial services, wealth management, or asset management.
Experience marketing to institutional buyers, including endowments, foundations, and nonprofits.
A track record of leading teams and integrated campaigns that drive lead generation, brand recognition, and client engagement.
Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to keep multiple workstreams on track.
A talent for making financial concepts clear, engaging, and relevant to busy audiences.
Comfort working independently and creatively in a lean, growing, matrixed organization.
Experience with venture capital, retirement plans, or public pensions is a plus.

Compensation:
$220-250,000

The Opportunity:
Join a team working across brand, performance marketing, content, and communications. You'll help bring the firm's institutional expertise to endowments, foundations, nonprofits, and corporate buyers, with room to shape how these practices go to market. The role spans strategy, team leadership, and hands-on execution, so you can see your ideas through from plan to measurable impact
