🏢 About Climate Action
Climate Action operates at the unique intersection of climate policy, innovation, and finance, connecting global leaders through high-impact hybrid and digital events. Working here offers the chance to drive real change in sustainability while shaping the conversation around climate solutions.
About This Role
As Senior Marketing Manager, you will lead B2B marketing for climate-focused conferences and events, driving lead generation, digital campaigns, and social media strategy. Your work directly supports the growth of critical climate dialogues and partnerships.
💡 A Day in the Life
You might start by reviewing campaign analytics and adjusting email sequences for an upcoming event. Midday, you'd brief a junior marketer on a new social media campaign, then spend the afternoon crafting copy for a paid ad and coordinating with the content team on a blog post. The day ends with a strategy meeting to plan lead generation for the next quarter.
