Role Description

We’re looking for a creative leader who lives and breathes branding, storytelling, and content.

As our Brand & Creative Manager, you’ll own every touchpoint of the TORQ brand. From social media and video content to jobsite storytelling, recruiting campaigns, sales collateral, events, and customer experience, you’ll ensure everything we put into the world reflects a premium, market-leading brand.

This is not a desk-only marketing role.

You’ll spend time in the office planning campaigns, on job sites capturing installs, filming with customers and crews, attending events, and working directly with the Founder and our Digital Marketing Manager to execute content that drives awareness, trust, and revenue.

If you love building brands, creating content that gets attention, and taking ownership instead of waiting for direction, you’ll thrive here.

* Excellent copywriting and storytelling skills

* Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

* Comfortable working both in the office and on active job sites

* Ability to think creatively while executing quickly

* Self-starter with an ownership mentality who doesn’t wait to be told what to do

* Experience in home services, construction, remodeling, or related industries is a plus

Why Join TORQ?

* $70,000-$80,000 base salary

* Performance bonus opportunities

* Work directly alongside the Founder to help shape one of the fastest-growing brands in the industry
