Vice President Marketing

VP of Marketing
Emerson Coast — Fayetteville, AR (In-Person)
Most marketing roles are looking for someone to “manage campaigns.”

++This isn’t one of them++.

We’re looking for the person who sees a sorority girl scroll past 100 pieces of content a day… and knows exactly which 3 would actually make her stop.

The kind of marketer who doesn’t just follow trends—but spots them early, shapes them, and turns them into campaigns that drive real demand.

Someone who can look at a product, a season (Bid Day, Recruitment), and a blank page—and immediately start seeing angles, hooks, offers, and creative directions that others miss.

Because at Emerson Coast, marketing isn’t support—it’s the growth engine.

We don’t need someone to “run ads” or “post content.”

We need someone who can connect the dots between creative, data, and strategy—and build a system that consistently turns ideas into revenue.

If you’ve ever:

Had more campaign ideas than your team could executeFound yourself critiquing 90% of ads you seeFelt like most brands are playing it safe while you’re ready to push boundaries
…you might be exactly who we’re looking for.
