• Partner directly with the CEO and COO on thought leadership initiatives, brand positioning, and strategic communications that elevate First Gen as a trusted authority for employers
• Manage external creative, media, and technology vendors — driving accountability to deadlines and performance benchmarks
• Track, analyze, and report on campaign performance, pipeline contribution, and marketing-sourced revenue
• Plan and execute campaigns across email, LinkedIn, paid channels, and events — from brief to launch to optimization

• Experience managing external vendors and agencies with clear accountability for deliverables and timelines
• CRM proficiency (HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent) and comfort working within structured pipeline reporting
• Strong understanding of compliance requirements for financial services and insurance advertising
• High business acumen, emotional intelligence, and the consultative communication skills to operate effectively across sales, leadership, and client-facing contexts
