What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing Communications Lead position at Rhino Tool House?
The Marketing Communications Lead owns the strategy, execution, and quality of Rhino Tool House's outward-facing marketing — across digital, print, and in-person channels. This role goes beyond running channels: it owns the campaigns, content, and messaging that create real demand in the market.
This role works in close, daily partnership with the Marketing Technology Lead. The division is simple: this position owns what goes to market and why — the Marketing Technology Lead owns the systems that capture, route, and nurture the demand it creates. Neither role works well without the other.
This is a mid-level, hands-on position on a small, fast-moving team supporting a $200 million business. Success requires the judgment to prioritize without heavy direction and the experience to know where to focus first.
Core Responsibilities1. Campaign Strategy & Execution- Develops and leads marketing campaigns across email, social, web, and events — built specifically to generate qualified interest, not just activity.
- Sets channel mix, messaging angle, and strategy for each campaign, informed by what is and isn't generating results.
- Partners with Marketing Operations & Demand Lead to track campaign performance and feed lead quality and volume back into planning.

5. Event & Trade Show Leadership- Owns planning and execution of major company events, including industry trade shows, the national sales meeting, and Center of Excellence open house events.
- Coordinates logistics, messaging, and materials so the company shows up prepared and consistent.
- Leads on-site execution and directs Marketing Support and outside vendors as needed.
- Works in close, ongoing partnership with the Marketing Technology Lead: this role owns what goes to market and why; Marketing Technology owns CRM discipline, lead routing, and the nurture process that converts that output into pipeline.
