The Strategic Marketing Lead is a full‑time, 4‑month temporary position responsible for designing, piloting, and documenting a marketing operating framework that the internal marketing team can own following the engagement. Candidates must be willing to work West Coast hours to ensure strong partnership with stakeholders.

Working closely with the Senior Director of Marketing, Business Development, executive leadership, and subject matter experts, you will organize Teague’s expertise, case studies, thought leadership, strategic priorities, and business development needs into a clear, repeatable marketing system.

This is not a traditional demand generation or campaign management role. Success will be measured by your ability to create clarity, establish repeatable processes, develop strategic marketing assets, and leave behind a framework that supports long‑term growth.

Occasional domestic and international travel to support client and/or vendor projects or meetings.

You’re a strategic marketer who enjoys building systems as much as telling stories. You naturally connect business strategy with marketing execution, helping organizations move from great ideas to repeatable ways of working. You’re comfortable interviewing technical experts, uncovering compelling insights, organizing complex information, and translating it into narratives that resonate with executive buyers. You thrive in environments where there isn’t a predefined playbook because creating that playbook is exactly what you do best.

You’re equally comfortable facilitating executive workshops, developing strategic frameworks, writing thought leadership, and creating practical tools that teams actually use. Most importantly, you enjoy bringing clarity to ambiguity and building processes that continue delivering value long after implementation.
