Marketing & Communications Associate

Job Summary

We are seeking a Marketing & Communications Associate to support our growing customer‑facing team. This is a generalist role for someone who prefers a mission‑driven environment over a commercial one, and is energized by working across a range of marketing activities, from drafting newsletters and managing social media, to coordinating partner programs and running targeted outreach campaigns. You will work closely with our product marketing manager, events manager, and the broader Globus customer team (sales, partnerships, user support and professional services) to ensure cohesive, timely, and effective communications across all channels.

You will thrive in this role if you enjoy working on all aspects of diverse marketing and communications projects, taking ideas from concept to completion. We are a small team where seniority takes a back seat to initiative, energy, and a willingness to learn. We get a kick out of crafting innovative campaigns and working with some of the smartest researchers around the world to take their work to the next level.

We hope you know how communications resonate with end users, software engineers, CIOs, and everyone in between—but if you’re not an expert yet, our team will support you on your journey. And, if you’ve worked in a research computing environment, facilitating dialogue between researchers and technologists, this will be the perfect opportunity to deepen your experience. As you develop in this role success will be demonstrated by: regular publication and amplification of user success stories;

well‑organized Globus presence at major annual conferences; targeted lead generation campaigns, executed end‑to‑end with tracked results; a consistent social media and newsletter presence, with measurably growing engagement; a well‑maintained contact database; recognition as the go‑to resource for coordinating the full Globus customer team on communications timing and materials.

• Events Marketing & Conference Coordination
  • Work with the events manager to plan and execute successful Globus participation in research computing conferences and community events, webinars, virtual demos, and user group meetings, including promotion, and follow‑up communications.
