What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing Manager position at Red Kite Recruiting?
We’re seeking a Foodservice Marketing Manager to bring structure, consistency, and strategy to a leading national food manufacturer’s marketing efforts. This is a high-visibility, newly created role designed for a hands-on marketing professional ready to transform scattered sales tools into a cohesive, professional system that strengthens customer relationships and drives results across the foodservice channel.
Why This Role Stands Out
Strategic Impact: Work directly with leadership to shape how a major food manufacturer presents its products to distributors, operators, and restaurant customers.
Blank-Slate Opportunity: Establish processes, templates, and brand alignment across the organization — building systems that will become the standard.
Industry Recognition: Join a trusted name in food manufacturing with long-standing partnerships across the national foodservice network.
What You’ll Own
- Develop clear, consistent sales and marketing materials that align with brand goals.
- Partner with leadership and sales to tailor tools for key customers.
- Coordinate creative projects, timelines, and external resources.
- Write and edit concise, effective copy that communicates product value.
- Maintain structure and consistency across all marketing deliverables.
What We’re Looking For
- 5 years of B2B or foodservice marketing experience, preferably in food manufacturing.
- Strong writing, organization, and project-management skills.
- Collaborative approach and comfort working across departments.
- Proficiency in PowerPoint and related office tools.
- Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or related field.
- Must be able to work on-site in Park Ridge, Illinois (not remote).
Compensation & Benefits
Comprehensive healthcare coverage, 401(k) with company match, paid weekly, paid vacation and holidays, and opportunities for advancement within a respected, growth-oriented organization.
