ADL Marketing Manager

Please note that part of the application process requires completing a survey consisting of a general set of questions about your experience, interests, and career goals. Completing the survey requires around 10 minutes of your time.

Expectations of the Marketing Manager

As the Marketing Manager, you will be responsible for strategically curating and maintaining ADL’s public-facing branding and marketing collateral to drive awareness, curiosity and interest among ADL’s target clients and industries. You will be expected to draw upon your marketing toolbox and knowledge of typical marketing media channels among corporations and startups alike within the energy/utilities, construction/building materials and transportation sectors.

Responsibilities will include:

• Work closely with the various ADL practice areas to shape and execute on marketing activities and work product development
• Own ADL’s multimedia public presence, including LinkedIn and other social media platforms, our website and content therein (e.g. blog posts), ADL’s periodic newsletter, webinars and other virtual events, and specific post-project documentation such as case studies and slide decks
• Identify, develop and maintain relationships with key channel partners, including conference organizers, industry trade groups, and media outlets
• Identify and book conferences and speaking engagements on behalf of ADL Partners and other project leaders
• Bring a professional level of discipline with basic communications hygiene to all of ADL’s staff, including the development and implementation of best practices for email outreach, CRM maintenance and usage adherence, job postings and social media posts
• Prepare and submit responses to relevant RFIs and FOAs, including short responses and concept papers, on an opportunistic basis
• Pitch in on direct project work on an as-needed basis (up to 50% of the time, depending on acute staffing and bandwidth), which will require some ongoing knowledge of industry-level trends, challenges and opportunities
• Keep up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies in the energy, buildings and transportation industries

Ideal candidates will have the following experience and characteristics:

• 2+ years of experience in a marketing or customer-facing role, ideally in one or more of ADL’s three core sectors of energy, buildings, and transportation
• Bachelor’s degree 
• Demonstrated experience in managing the public-facing presence of a commercial organization, with a reviewable work product portfolio
• A strong and polished writing/communication style with an advanced command of the English language and spelling/grammar
• Self-starter who is highly motivated and responsive, and thrives under limited guidance in uncertain situations
• Team player who enjoys working with and managing stakeholders toward common goals
• Demonstrated passion for effecting innovative and equitable evolutions in infrastructure-heavy sectors such as energy, transportation, and buildings
• Strong balance of interpersonal skills with the ability to carefully research and synthesize work products with a high degree of organization

If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you!

The DNA of ADL

The ideal ADL teammate gets fired up about applying technology to make the world more sustainable and believes that better leveraging the power of entrepreneurship can change the world. Our core areas of focus include infrastructure-heavy sectors such as energy (utilities, distributed energy), buildings (building materials, advanced construction, prefab/offsite), and transportation (EVs, public transit).

ADL is not a traditional consulting firm; we are a team of entrepreneurs that constantly seek opportunities to build stronger bridges between legacy-sector clients and startup stakeholders to help critical sectors modernize. Folks with a passion for creating new business models and accelerating the commercialization of novel concepts in legacy industries perform particularly well at ADL, especially those with practical experience in our core industries and/or significant start-up exposure.

While we love working with folks who take a structured approach to problem-solving - as you’d expect among those with traditional consulting experience - ADL’s teammates tend to feel constrained by a traditional consulting environment. We have a bias toward action! We don’t just want to create a plan for new market entry (though we do that exceptionally well); we want to actually help launch NewCos and new lines of business. We don’t just want to run an open innovation challenge; we want to creatively structure the agreements that are likely to break down the traditional barriers between legacy companies and scrappy innovators.

We highly value diversity, equity, and inclusion as vital parts of our company DNA. Our vision is to continue building an organization that provides the opportunity to utilize all relevant perspectives and experiences.
