Digital Marketing Manager

Agriculture or agronomy industry experience is required for this position. Candidates without direct ag industry background will not be considered.

The Digital Marketing Manager leads strategic development and performance oversight of integrated digital marketing programs for agricultural and agronomy clients. This role sets organic digital direction across web, email, SEO/GEO, content marketing, and organic social — ensuring cross-channel alignment and driving measurable outcomes from awareness and engagement through loyalty and conversion. This position operates within a collaborative agency model, partnering closely with account marketing leads, creative teams, and a dedicated paid media team. Paid media activation is managed by a separate team; this role owns the organic digital strategy and execution across assigned accounts.

Responsibilities:

Collaborate with account marketing leads to develop integrated organic digital strategies aligned with brand voice, target audience, and client business goals.
Lead channel strategy across email, SEO/GEO, content marketing, organic social media, web, and influencer marketing — ensuring each channel contributes to a unified customer journey.
Develop and manage email marketing programs, including list strategy, segmentation, campaign planning, content approach, and performance analysis.
Partner with a dedicated paid media team to ensure organic digital efforts are integrated with broader campaign strategy and reinforce shared business objectives.
Analyze market trends, audience behavior, and campaign performance to inform strategy and generate clear, actionable reports for account teams and clients.
Analyze website performance using Google Analytics 4 and other tools, providing insights and recommendations to stakeholders.
Apply Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) principles to client work, ensuring digital content, platforms, and campaigns are structured for visibility and performance across AI-driven search and discovery experiences.
Anticipate and exploit emerging digital marketing trends, tools, and platforms to keep clients at the forefront of the industry.
Foster a culture of innovation by continuously testing next-generation marketing tools and translating cutting-edge trends into actionable strategies.
Support and encourage adoption of AI-powered tools and technologies to improve operational efficiency, streamline workflows, and enhance the quality and speed of client deliverables.
Assist with project estimates and manage digital marketing budgets.
Coach and mentor team members through daily feedback and professional development opportunities.
