Company Description

At Lakeshore, we create innovative learning materials and world-class guest experiences for teachers, parents and children.

But today we’re working better, smarter and faster than ever—and setting our sights even higher. We’re building an infrastructure designed for scalability, embracing data-driven decision-making and using technology to improve efficiency and ensure the best tools for the best work. Most importantly, we continue to invest in a diverse team of inquisitive top talent who fuel each other’s passions and curiosity, take risks, try new things, and believe that every new day brings opportunities for growth.

Are you someone who is eager to learn and wants to channel your passion for marketing to execute world-class integrated marketing strategies? Are you an ambitious, motivated and detail-oriented marketer who is ready to work in a fast-paced environment to create and deliver dynamic omni-channel campaigns to excite existing and new customers?

You will collaborate closely with our sales and marketing channel owners and cross-functionally with the Creative team (project managers, designers, copywriters etc.), e-commerce, merchandising, in-store visual, print and other internal departments daily. You must bring excellent communication skills, a strong attention to detail and a “no task too small” attitude. This role is perfect for an achievement-oriented person with boundless energy and a strong desire to learn.

• Recommending project prioritization based on a balance of business needs, technical constraints and customer impact
• Anticipating and addressing project needs with appropriate solutions and providing escalation management if needed
• Driving project schedules to hit deadlines by managing day-to-day communication with the Sales, Marketing, and Product Development teams as well as internal creative partners
• Assisting with submission of analytics requests and gleaning insights from campaign performance data
• Serving as point of contact for cross-functional partners to answer questions, confirm timing and campaign details
• Scheduling meetings, taking notes during meetings and sending out recap e-mails

• 2+ years of experience as a Marketing Coordinator or a similar role
• Superb organizational and project management skills, with demonstrated experience managing overlapping timelines and project priorities
• Meticulous attention to detail with the ability to be nimble and pivot in project direction and execution when needed
• Experience building schedules, problem-solving issues, establishing communication plans and managing stakeholders
• Proficiency in marketing best practices, tactics and research, specifically for the B2B marketing industry
• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
• Results-oriented with a proven track record of on-time project/program delivery
• Strong bias for action and willingness to roll up sleeves and get things done
• Positive energy and willingness to work outside of a typical role to deliver holistic solutions to problems
• Experience working in a project management tool (Workfront a bonus)

And here’s our end of the bargain!

• Competitive compensation based on skills and experience, plus a bonus plan
• Excellent medical/dental and vision coverage—EPO, PPO and HSA
• 401(k) retirement plan with company contribution (because you will retire someday)
• Flexible benefits—choose what you like, ignore the rest
