Marketing Specialist

Grit Marketing
Rapids, IA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/2/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/1/2026

We’re a small, boutique marketing firm looking for a creative, detail-oriented Marketing Specialist who loves both design and getting things done. In this role, you’ll wear multiple hats—designing beautiful, on-brand assets while also managing projects across clients and campaigns.


This is a hands-on position for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative environment, enjoys ownership over their work, and can confidently manage timelines, priorities, and client expectations.


What You’ll Do

Design & Creative

  • Design high-quality marketing assets for a variety of clients and industries (social graphics, email designs, websites, presentations, ads, and print materials)
  • Maintain and interpret brand guidelines across multiple client brands
  • Revise and refine creative based on feedback while maintaining quality and consistency

Project Management & Coordination

  • Own multiple client projects at once, managing timelines, deliverables, and priorities
  • Build and maintain project plans, schedules, and task lists
  • Act as a point of contact between internal team members and clients
  • Organize files, assets, and processes to keep work efficient and scalable

Client & Team Support

  • Participate in client meetings to discuss timelines, deliverables, and creative direction
  • Support campaign launches and ongoing marketing initiatives
  • Contribute ideas to improve internal workflows and client results


What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

  • 2–5 years of experience in marketing, design, or a similar role
  • Strong design skills and comfort working in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines without heavy oversight
  • Clear communicator who’s comfortable collaborating with clients and teammates
  • Highly organized, proactive, and adaptable


What It’s Like to Work Here

  • Small, tight-knit team where your work has a direct impact
  • High level of ownership and trust—no red tape
  • Variety of clients and projects (no two weeks look the same)
  • Opportunity to grow your skills across strategy, design, and client management


Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Creative freedom with real responsibility
  • Direct access to clients and decision-makers
  • Flexible, collaborative work environment
  • Opportunity to help shape processes as the firm grows
