This is a newly created senior leadership role with ownership of marketing for DMF Luxury and HK Lighting. As we grow, we require an experienced marketing leader to assume day-to-day ownership of our residential brands.

Your responsibilities will include product launches, digital marketing, channel marketing, events, and sales enablement while partnering closely with Sales, Product Management, and company leadership.
