Marketing Project Manager

Plum Good Marketing | adj: very good. worth having.™

Plum Good Marketing is hiring a Marketing Project Manager. You don't need a marketing background. You need to be great at projects and great with people, and we'll teach you the rest. We'd rather teach marketing to a great operator than teach operations to a marketer.

We sometimes describe ourselves as an ops company that happens to do marketing. Our clients are solid, growing businesses, mostly manufacturers and legacy companies, with marketing work happening everywhere and nobody leading it. We embed ourselves as their part‑time head of marketing: we set the strategy, help them define their brand, manage their vendors, sit on their leadership team, and stay accountable to the results.

You'll support our Fractional CMOs across those accounts. They own the strategy and the client relationship. You own the machine underneath it: the tasks, the timelines, the handoffs, and the follow‑through that make Plum's promise of "clients never have to chase us" actually true.

This is a client‑facing role, and it's how you'll learn and grow: shoulder to shoulder with the Fractional CMO in client meetings, strategy, reporting, analysis, and campaign delivery. You're the strong number two who makes the whole account run.

We're a fractional CMO firm based in Metro Detroit. Our clients are generally growth‑ready manufacturers, EOS‑aligned leadership teams, and second‑generation business owners. They have execution happening everywhere and strategic marketing ownership nowhere, and that’s where we come in.

We're technically an agency, but we don't act like one. We operate inside our clients' businesses as the marketing department they always wished they had.

Our core values are very well thought out and actionable in everything we do. We came up with them as a team and they're the filters we use for hiring, operating, and choosing clients:

• We are Reliable :
  We do what we say. Clients never have to chase us.
• We are Strategic :
  Strategy is our love language. Every tactic ties to a business outcome, or we don't do it.
• We are Experts :
  We've held our own in big rooms with smart people, and we belong there. When we know something, we say it with conviction. When we don't, we ask without being ashamed.
• We have EQ :
  Behind every frustrated client is a business owner who's poured everything into what they've built. We approach the relationship with empathy.
• We are Thoughtful :
  We push back when something isn't in a client's best interest, or when "going above and beyond" has quietly turned into going at our own expense. Thoughtful means intentional, not slow.
• We are Worth It :
  We don't deliver work that isn't worth someone's time, attention, or money. Full presence is part of the value, and we know our value.
• We are Integrative :
  We don't operate in silos. Plum isn't a vendor you hand a task to. We're the connective tissue between vision and results.

We're also operationally obsessed. We're proud to have clear workflows and actual SOPs. And, we love Asana, so much. Ours is built out with automations, dashboards, and portfolios, and we need people who think that structure is genuinely cool. We have written etiquette agreements for how we work together. We are utterly allergic to manufactured emergencies and chaos. If you read that paragraph and felt something, you'll probably love working with us.

We work remotely across different schedules. We assume positive intent. We don't do fire drills. We close on major holidays, run flexible PTO on a take‑what‑you‑need, cover‑each‑other basis, and keep roughly normal business hours without anyone watching a clock. Plum is woman‑owned and built deliberately as a place where people with full lives actually want to work.…
