Marketing Director

Your future challenge
 

As a Marketing Director at MilDef, you lead a team which undertakes wide range of critically important operational and tactical market activities. Working on corporate level and supporting our sales companies on different geographic markets, you strengthen our global brand by supporting our local business. The world MilDef operates in is highly technical, predominantly military, and depends on accurate information always being available – for our customers, partners, and our own resources.

In the morning you might host a marketing forum with the Sales Company Managing Directors to agree and prioritize their marketing needs, spend the afternoon working with product management staff overseeing a product launch, and finish the day proofing social media posts with your team. Next day you meet with two marketing agencies regarding a potential project and launch a press release to the marketplace.

You find these rapidly changing tasks to be stimulating rather than stressful.

To us, marketing means aligning our efforts around the MilDef brand, providing a true picture of who we are, and generating global interest in our capabilities.

In summary, you will be involved in everything from creating new press releases to leading our marketing strategies. You are probably a multi-talented, ambitious, capable, creative, meticulous, and generally great person with proven management ability.
