Marketing Associate

About the Role:We're looking for a Marketing Associate to help us tell the Ascend story across our blog, LinkedIn and wherever else the brand needs a hand.We're a B2B analytics-as-a-service company working with healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing clients. That means our marketing has to earn trust rather than ride the wave of trends. If you’re confident you can create content for an audience of C Suite members and senior leaders rather than the broader population at large, this is probably the role for you!What You’ll Do:Writing blog content that's genuinely useful to our audience, not just SEO filler (though yes, you'll own SEO too (on-page and technical))Managing our LinkedIn content calendar, working closely with our in-house designer to ship posts, not just plan themProducing content for our founder's personal brand, helping him show up as a credible voice in the space, not just another exec posting "thoughts on leadership"Any other content initiatives that come up on the flyHelping run webinars, if and when we decide to do them (likely once a month)Picking up the smaller, ad-hoc stuff: the odd collaboration with Business Development, and some smaller requests that probably don’t fit neatly into a job descriptionWhat You’ll Bring:6 months to a year of experience, ideally (but if you're a fresh graduate with sharp instincts and the right approach, we want to hear from you too).Humanities or Business majors preferred, though we care more about how you think and write than what's on the degree.A solid grasp of content and social media: you understand pacing, hooks, and why some posts work while others quietly dieAn understanding of Google Analytics and how to get the most out of it in a B2B context.Copywriting instincts, with a real appetite to keep sharpening themComfort in front of a camera or behind one (video experience is a plus, not a dealbreaker)An understanding (or fast willingness to learn) that B2B marketing is a different game from B2C. No one is impulse-buying a data analytics platform because of a clever meme (though we do still love a well executed meme).Nice to HaveA functional understanding of the data analytics space and/or genuine curiosity to build one fastThe ability to take something technical and frame it so a non-technical buyer actually gets why it mattersYou use AI in your day-to-day (we're not precious about that) but you know the difference between using it as a tool and letting it think, create, and operate for you. If you can spot "in today's fast-paced digital landscape" from a mile away and would rather delete your draft than publish it, you're exactly who we're looking for.Why Ascend?Fun & flexibility: Enjoy a hybrid work model, dynamic hours and an energetic workplace.Professional growth: Sponsorships for certifications, tech conferences and personal development.Vibrant culture: Team outings, brain breaks and competitions (think game nights).Global exposure: Work on meaningful projects with clients spanning industries and continents.If you’ve been nodding along for even 75% of this job description, hit apply.
