Job Description
We are looking for a Head of Marketing who breaks the mold of what “marketing people” have become.
If you are an exceptional marketer who has always felt a little out of place in today’s marketing culture, I’d like you to seriously consider this role.
We are a family-owned business based in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, that operates two growing brands: 1st Day School Supplies and 1st Place Spiritwear. We sell school supplies and spirit wear to real families, real schools, and real communities. We are not chasing fads, politics, or social agendas. We are focused on serving schools, parents and kids at a very high level.
The truth is, a lot of marketers want remote work, side gigs, and maximum flexibility. They are more interested in their personal lifestyle than building something lasting with a team. That is not who we are, and not who we are looking for.
We are looking for the rare marketer who:
- Takes pride in coming to work, in person, five days a week
- Still believes in traditional family values and a strong work ethic
- Wants to be on a winning team that actually shows up
- Is frustrated that many marketers push agendas more than products
- Wants to build a department, not just fill a role
From a skills standpoint, here is what we need:
- 7+ years of experience in marketing, growth, or ecommerce
- Experience managing campaigns, calendars, and budgets
- Strong understanding of ecommerce fundamentals; apparel experience is a plus
- Comfort working with outside agencies for growth marketing and branding
- The ability to lead, develop, and hold a small team accountable
- Strong project management and follow-through
This is an in-office role based in Hinckley, Ohio. If you need or prefer remote or hybrid work, this will not be a fit. We believe great work is done together, in the same building, working side by side. We offer a competitive salary, performance-based bonus opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package.
In this role you will:
- Lead the overall marketing efforts for 1st Day School Supplies and 1st Place Spiritwear
- Manage and develop two brand managers (one focused on school supplies, one on spirit wear)
- Oversee our relationships with our growth and branding agencies
- Drive coordinated campaigns across email, digital, social, and product launches
- Work closely with ownership, sales, and operations to grow the business
- Help build an in-office marketing culture based on results, loyalty, and hard work
If you are the kind of marketer who has strong skills but has never quite felt at home in a culture that rewards agendas over products, comfort over effort, and lifestyle over loyalty, this may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
To apply, please send your resume and a compelling letter explaining why this role and this type of culture appeal to you.
