Contract Marketing Director

About the Role

Denamico is a HubSpot consultancy that operates at the upmarket end of the ecosystem: enterprise-scale CRM architectures, complex integrations, and multi-phase implementations for franchise businesses with 50+ locations.

We're hiring a part-time, contract Marketing Director to cover a maternity leave that starts in May. We're looking for an experienced marketer to step in and keep things running. The goal isn’t just to maintain, but do it well and enhance our existing strategy where you can. 

You'll work closely with an executive assistant and take ownership of key marketing work streams for the duration of the contract. You'll be handed a solid plan, a pre-scheduled content calendar, clear documentation and supporting AI (HubSpot Agents, Claude projects and Cowork skills) to speed up execution. What we need from you is someone who can hit the ground running, exercise good judgment, improve what’s already planned and work with a high degree of independence.

This is a great fit if you're an experienced marketer who enjoys variety, works well without oversight, and loves finding smarter ways to get things done. 

What You’ll Own

• Day-to-day oversight of an executive assistant 
• Webinar and in-person event planning, set up and promotion 
• Client success story production
• Social media engagement, resharing, and additional posts beyond the pre-scheduled calendar
• Website content updates, including new articles, updated offers and AEO updates
• Supporting outbound campaign execution in HubSpot
• Ad hoc campaign and project support as it arises within your hours
  
  

What You Don't Need to Do

• Build strategy from scratch. The direction is set and documented.
• Manage our podcast. Our team handles that independently, but may need occasional support. 
• Attend a heavy meeting schedule. This role is execution-focused. 

How You Work

• You don't need hand-holding. 
• You can execute an existing plan and bring forward ideas to improve it.
• You're curious about AI and you're already using it to work smarter. 
• You treat an existing marketing program with the same care you'd give your own.

Experience You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of marketing experience, ideally in an agency or lean team environment.
• Hands-on HubSpot experience. You know your way around campaigns, sequences, and reporting.  
• AI-forward mindset. You're actively using and experimenting with AI tools in your work, not just aware of them. (Today, our main AI tools are Claude, Gemini, and HubSpot AI.)
• Enjoy working independently with minimal day-to-day oversight.
• Ability to bring ideas to life. You can take a rough idea and turn it into an actionable plan for a new campaign, event, or webinar with limited direction. 
• Content writing background (articles, emails, social, newsletters, case studies) 

Nice to have

• Experience in B2B services or franchising.
• Outbound or ABM experience.
• Familiarity with ClickUp or similar project management tools.

Who Thrives Here

We are an outcome-focused team of builders who value continuous iteration. You must be high-agency, proactive, and self-directed, comfortable filling gaps without a full playbook. Success is measured by your impact and results, requiring resilience and adaptability as things shift. If you need explicit direction for every decision, this isn't the right fit. 

Hours and Location

Part-time | 20 hours per week | 20 weeks

Start date: April 15

Preference given to candidates based in the Twin Cities who can come to our North Loop office for onboarding and once per week throughout the contract. 

Core Values

Our core values aren't wall art. They're how we make decisions.

Lead the Change. We bring innovative solutions to the table. We believe in the importance of having difficult conversations. We believe in staying ahead of change, taking educated risks, and paving the way for new roads to the future.

Learn With Purpose. We listen to and learn from others. We believe in being self-directed and proactively learning to solve challenges as they evolve. We believe in a growth mindset for ourselves and each other.

Make Things Happen. We take the initiative to move forward as change occurs. We’re willing to have hard conversations. That’s who we are. And there is a way to push the envelope while maintaining respect, humility, and transparency.

Be Better Together. We value and benefit from diversity, vulnerability, and everyone’s unique ability and perspective. We believe business is a team activity and that we do better work, are more innovative, and the journey is more meaningful when we’re on it together.

To Apply

In lieu of a cover letter, please respond to the following questions in the Cover Letter box and include a link to your LinkedIn profile. 

• Share a time you stepped into a temporary or contract role (covering a leave, filling a gap, or inheriting someone else's program). How did you get up to speed quickly, what did you choose to keep as-is, and where did you find opportunities to improve without derailing progress?
• Tell us about a time a campaign, event, or project changed direction after it was already in motion. How did you respond and make it successful?
• How are you using AI in your day-to-day marketing work right now? Be specific about the tools, workflows, and what's working well for you.

The best answer is a specific example with a real outcome.
