The Opportunity:

We are looking for a hands-on, full-stack Assistant Manager - Marketing to join a leading global M&A advisory firm. This is a builder's role for a versatile marketer who can own execution across the entire marketing function: demand generation, content, SEO and AI-driven search, paid media, social, PR, marketing automation, and reporting.

You will move comfortably between strategy and hands-on execution, equally happy writing a thought-leadership blog, building a HubSpot workflow, launching a Google Ads campaign, running a cold outreach sequence, or standing up an AI-assisted marketing workflow. You understand how to market professional and financial services to a sophisticated B2B audience of business owners, private equity firms, and strategic buyers.

This is a "does everything" marketing role. If a task falls under modern marketing, it likely falls to you.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Generation & Outreach

• Design and execute multi-channel lead generation campaigns (inbound and outbound) to drive qualified deal flow and prospect engagement

• Build and manage cold outreach sequences (email and LinkedIn) targeting business owners, investors, and strategic buyers

• Continuously test and optimize outreach messaging, cadence, targeting, and list quality for better response and conversion rates

• Use tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator and enrichment/outreach platforms to build and qualify prospect lists

Marketing Automation & CRM

• Own day-to-day management of HubSpot (or equivalent): workflows, list segmentation, lead scoring, and campaign tracking

• Maintain CRM data hygiene, pipeline reporting, and attribution tracking in partnership with the deal origination team

• Build and manage nurture sequences aligned to the buyer and seller journey

• Manage email deliverability, domain health, and sending reputation

Content & Copywriting

• Write and edit blog content, thought leadership, market commentary, and long-form guides that position the firm as a credible M&A authority

• Produce recurring email newsletters and campaign copy for the buyer and seller audience

• Create marketing collateral for an advisory audience: teasers, one-pagers, landing page copy, and sales enablement material

• Ghostwrite and manage executive and company social content in a consistent brand voice

SEO, AEO & LLM Visibility

• Manage on-page and technical SEO to improve organic rankings and site authority

• Run link-building and digital PR outreach to grow domain authority and referral traffic

• Apply Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and LLM-visibility best practices so firm content is surfaced accurately in AI-driven search and generative answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and similar)

• Maintain structured data, content feeds, and technical assets that help AI systems retrieve and cite firm content correctly

AI Development & Automation

• Build in-house AI tools, agents, and workflows using Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other LLM platforms to speed up content, research, outreach, and reporting

• Develop custom skills, prompt systems, and automation pipelines that turn recurring marketing tasks into reliable, repeatable AI-assisted processes

• Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) hands-on to build internal utilities, dashboards, and integrations for the marketing team

• Test new AI models, tools, and platforms as they release, and roll the best ones into daily team workflows

• Manage the wider marketing tech stack (SEO tools, CRM, analytics, outreach, and AI platforms) and connect systems where it saves time

Social Media & Brand Visibility

• Plan and manage the organic social calendar across LinkedIn and X/Twitter for the firm and its executives

• Grow reach, engagement, and follower quality; draft posts, threads, and comment replies in brand voice

• Support employer branding and internal communications as needed

PR & Communications

• Draft and distribute press releases for closed deals, appointments, awards, and company milestones via newswire platforms

• Support media relations and maintain a consistent public narrative for the firm

Performance & Paid Media

• Plan, execute, and optimize Google Ads and other performance campaigns for lead generation and brand awareness

• Monitor budgets, CPL/CPA, and ROI across paid channels; report performance with clear, actionable recommendations

• Collaborate with design and content resources to develop high-converting ad creative and landing pages

Analytics & Reporting

• Track and report on marketing performance using GA4, Google Search Console, HubSpot, and paid-channel dashboards

• Translate data into concise, leadership-ready reporting with clear recommendations and next steps

• Prepare materials for recurring marketing meetings and leadership reviews: agendas, performance decks, and talking points

• Own attribution and funnel reporting in partnership with business development

Partner Operations & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Manage day-to-day partner operations: lead distribution and rotation schedules, partner-level lead tracking, and follow-up coordination with individual deal advisors

• Monitor and report partner-level performance (leads, conversions, pipeline contribution) and flag gaps or wins to leadership

• Act as the marketing point of contact for partners: coordinate their content, campaign, and lead-related requests end to end

• Partner closely with deal origination and business development to align marketing output with pipeline and revenue goals

• Stay current on M&A industry trends, competitor positioning, and marketing technology developments

• Direct and brief design and other specialist resources where deep expertise is required (this role scopes and manages design rather than producing it)

Required Qualifications

• 4-6 years of progressive B2B marketing experience, ideally in financial services, M&A advisory, consulting, or professional services

• Proven hands-on experience with HubSpot (or a similar CRM/marketing automation platform)

• Demonstrated success in lead generation, cold outreach, and pipeline-building campaigns

• Strong SEO fundamentals with growing familiarity in AEO/GEO/LLM optimization

• Experience managing Google Ads and performance marketing budgets

• Excellent written communication with a portfolio of blog/content samples

• Hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) in day-to-day marketing work, including building AI-assisted workflows rather than just using chat interfaces

• Analytical mindset, comfortable with campaign data, dashboards, and reporting tools

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in M&A, investment banking, PE/VC, or business brokerage marketing

• Familiarity with Semrush/Ahrefs, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and email deliverability platforms

• Experience creating marketing collateral for a technical or advisory audience (teasers, one-pagers, thought leadership)

• Experience building internal AI tools, custom agents, or automations with Claude Code, custom GPTs, API-based workflows, or similar
