Marketing Manager jobs in Manitoba

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Growth Marketing Lead owns the performance, development, and future growth of Midnight Marketing’s Growth department.

You’ll take over a strong foundation of existing client accounts across SEO, paid advertising, analytics, lead generation, and website optimization. However, this role is about more than maintaining what already exists. As Midnight Marketing enters its next stage of growth, you’ll be responsible for developing the systems, team structure, service standards, and scalable workflows required to expand the department.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll manage client strategies and platforms, analyze performance, communicate results, and support Account Managers while also building the department’s long-term capabilities. The ideal candidate has previously helped grow a digital marketing or performance department and understands how to balance day-to-day client delivery with team development, process improvement, and strategic planning.
