Contract Digital Marketing Specialist (1099)

Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack?

At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies—but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats.

Your Mission
Are you ready to stop just running ads and start driving real, measurable growth? We’re not looking for someone who just checks boxes—we need a master of digital channels who can craft messaging so compelling it makes people click, convert, and obsess over our brand. You will be the crucial link between our creative vision and our business results. This is your chance to manage integrated campaigns, own the metrics, and prove your campaign ideas work. If you eat data for breakfast and are addicted to seeing those conversion rates climb, let’s talk.

Responsibilities

This role is a high-octane mix of creative copywriter, meticulous project manager, and data-driven scientist.

Own the Narrative (Messaging & Content)

• Be the Final Filter: You're the quality control hero! Review, revise, and finalize all short-form marketing copy (ad headlines, email lines, CTAs) to ensure it's punchy, perfect, and laser-focused on the goal.
• Brand Guardian: Partner with our content marketing and creative team members to ensure every campaign asset is visually appealing and sounds like us across every platform. You make sure the message hits the target every single time.
• Write for the Win: Draft high-impact, persuasive, and ultra-concise copy that compels B2B audiences to stop scrolling and take action.

Run the Engine (Execution & Management)

• Integrated Campaign Maestro: Directly manage and launch cross-channel campaigns. This means running our playbooks across Email, Paid Search (SEM), Paid Social (LinkedIn/Google Ads), Display, and more.
• SEO Awareness: Ensure that anything campaign related that touches our website (e.g., product launch blogs, promotional text, etc.) is aligned with fundamental SEO best practices—we believe in long-term organic power.
• On-Time, On-Budget, On-Point: Be the organizational force that keeps complex, multi-touch campaigns hitting their deadlines and staying within budget.

Get Obsessed with Data (Optimization & Analysis)

• Metric Monitor: Dive into performance dashboards daily. You'll track CTR, impressions, form fills, and more, translating raw data into clear, actionable next steps.
• A/B Test Everything: Lead the charge on rigorous experimentation. If it can be tested (copy, visuals, CTAs), you're testing it. We want to know why something worked, not just that it did.
• Report & Present: Turn complicated performance metrics into slick, easy-to-digest reports for leadership, celebrating wins and pinpointing opportunities for the next campaign wave.

Your Qualifications

• Experience Level: 3+ years of experience hands-on managing digital campaigns, integrated marketing, or demand generation, ideally in a fast-paced B2B SaaS/Tech environment.
• Platform Proficiency: Proven experience directly managing campaigns inside the heavy hitters: Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and potentially others.
• Marketing Tech Stacks: Deep comfort using and optimizing a major Marketing Automation Platform (HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot—tell us your favorite!) and CRM (like Salesforce).

Who We’re Looking For

• Analytical Powerhouse: You approach marketing like a scientist. If you can't measure it, you don't want to run it.
• Detail-Oriented (Seriously): You spot the typo, the broken link, and the misaligned pixel before anyone else. Your campaigns are flawless.
• Has Ownership Mentality: You're a self-starter who treats the campaign budget like your own money and is always looking for the next growth hack.
• Collaborative Force & Team Player: You thrive in a group setting. You can communicate clearly and effectively with designers, writers, marketing peers, and sales, always working to align goals and ensure the entire team succeeds.
• Life-Long Learner: You don't just keep up—you get ahead. You are genuinely curious about emerging platforms (New ad platforms? AI tools?), testing new strategies, and constantly upgrading your skill set to match the rapid evolution of digital marketing.
