Own the story of Transparent Partners — and make the world feel it.
Transparent Partners is the preeminent solutions firm driving marketing transformation through AI enablement. We're growing, we have a story worth telling, and we need someone with the energy, creativity, and chops to tell it — loudly and well.
We're looking for a Director of Marketing to build, own, and drive our entire marketing engine. You won't be executing someone else's vision — you'll be re-defining ours. From the website to pitch materials, LinkedIn to live events, blogs to client sizzles, this is a build-it role for someone who gets fired up about brand storytelling and knows how to turn expertise into demand.
What You'll Do
Define and steward how Transparent Partners shows up in the world — who we are, what we do, and why it matters
Lead a refresh (or overhaul) of our website so it clearly communicates our offerings, framework, and proof points
Build a content library that reflects our POV: blog posts, case studies, thought leadership, and social content that earns attention
Drive our LinkedIn presence and content calendar with high-energy, insight-driven content that gets engagement
Develop and execute marketing activations including prototype/product sizzles, blogs, PR, and events
Own the editorial calendar and hold the content machine accountable — supported by SMEs and leadership
Build best-in-class pitch materials: one- and two-pagers by offering, solution decks, case study slides, approach narratives, and offering-specific sizzles
Translate complex consulting work into crisp, compelling materials that make it easy to say yes
Partner with principals and leadership to capture and package our work as case studies that prove what we deliver
Own our events strategy — conferences, sponsored activations, hosted experiences
Lead PR efforts to build Transparent Partners' presence in the industry conversation
Test new channels and formats; if it builds the brand and fills the pipeline, you're on it
Build the Marketing Engine
Arm the Revenue Team
Activate in Market
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years in B2B marketing — consulting, agency, or marketing technology environment strongly preferred
- A proven builder: you've owned a marketing function, not just supported one
- Exceptional written and verbal storytelling skills — you can make complex ideas feel exciting and accessible
- Deep experience with content marketing, thought leadership, and go-to-market materials
- Hands-on with design tools and comfortable directing creative (Canva, Figma, or similar)
- Strong project management skills — you juggle a lot without dropping anything
- High energy, low ego, and relentlessly curious about marketing, media, and technology
- Chicago-based
We're a tight-knit team of smart, motivated consultants who love what we do. We work with sophisticated brands on complex challenges, and we're at an inflection point — our work is exceptional and the world needs to know about it. This role is your shot to build something from the ground up with full support from leadership and subject matter experts who are excited to collaborate.
