APPLICATIONS CLOSED
VP of Marketing

SUMMARY

Outdoor Prolink is a members-only e-commerce platform serving professionals across the outdoor industry. Through their professional status, our members gain access to steep, everyday discounts on the gear they rely on for work and play. We partner with top outdoor brands to build pro channel strategies that drive revenue and grow brand awareness in all their channels. We’re seeking a VP of Marketing to join our leadership team, lead our Marketing and Membership teams, and help shape the future of Outdoor Prolink.

The VP of Marketing at Outdoor Prolink owns and leads execution across strategic planning, revenue growth, product development, marketing, membership, branding, and partnerships, working hands-on with teams to turn strategy into results. Together with other members of the executive team, this role will help craft and move Outdoor Prolink towards its 10-year vision, focusing on expansion to new customer segments, markets and partnerships, while ultimately strengthening systems and operations. As the leader of both the Marketing and Membership teams, the VP of Marketing is charged with complete ownership of the Outdoor Prolink membership lifecycle, from acquisition and activation to engagement and retention.

While we’ve grown a lot since our start in 2004, the Outdoor Prolink team remains small and scrappy at 20 people strong. That said, this role is not a purely brand-focused or big-team position. The ideal candidate is excited to roll up their sleeves, work closely with the executive team, and actively contribute to execution while building scalable systems for the future. This is a hands-on, player-coach role ideal for a strategic marketer who thrives in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment and is comfortable operating at both the 30,000-foot and ground levels.

• Provide strategic leadership and support for the Brand Services function, overseeing and empowering a team of account managers responsible for the success of our 200 brand partners on the Outdoor Prolink platform. This role does not manage brand accounts directly, but instead focuses on refining and scaling processes, defining service standards, and evolving brand marketing services to support sustainable growth and operational excellence.
• Catalyze innovation. Create breakthrough customer offerings and advance marketing by experimenting with new technology platforms, alternative media, new tools and techniques. Act as a visionary and lead with creativity.
• Create new B2B and B2C business opportunities through top-of-funnel and digital engagement that is deeply partnered with sales team initiatives.
• Drive strategic plans that identify profitable areas of growth and build the right team alignment to deliver on those plans.
• Relentless focus on the key customer personas, clearly articulating their needs and championing insights about them across the organization and into marketing campaigns.
• Build digital excellence that utilizes data, testing, and messaging to improve overall performance across media and the digital funnels.
• Lead a passionate team that is empowered to deliver within their channels and within the organization.
• Grow brand awareness and brand influence across key vertical channels and within the analyst community.
