JOB DESCRIPTION – MARKETING MANAGER  

ABOUT OMI

OMI is the worldwide leader in odor elimination chemistry with industrial, consumer, and commercial applications. This role will work primarily with our consumer brand, Fresh Wave.

ABOUT THE ROLE 

OMI is seeking a highly organized, campaign-savvy Marketing Manager to join our growing marketing team. This role is the connective tissue of our marketing function — responsible for translating big-picture brand strategy into structured, well-executed 360 campaigns that span retail, ecommerce, social media, creative, and trade. The Marketing Manager will report directly to the CEO and work alongside the Director of Brand Strategy, Director of Creative Services, Director of Ecommerce, and Director of Data & Insights.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on marketing operator: highly organized, commercially aware, creatively engaged, and capable of turning ideas into structured campaigns that drive measurable business impact. This is a builder role for someone with exceptional project management skills who is energized by creating structure where it does not yet exist.

• Support development of seasonal campaign strategies tied to Fresh Wave’s retail, ecommerce, Amazon, trade show, and promotional calendars.
• Align trade show activations, retail sell-in moments, ecommerce promotions, Amazon initiatives, and social campaigns with broader integrated marketing priorities.
• Partner with the Director of Ecommerce and Director of Data & Insights to ensure campaigns are supported by appropriate digital tactics, performance tracking, and reporting frameworks.
• Collaborate with the Social Media Manager to ensure social content reflects and amplifies active campaigns.
• Partner with digital marketing agency partners to align paid media, SEO, OTT/CTV, retargeting, email, and full-funnel digital strategies with campaign objectives, creative assets, and performance goals.
• Use AI-enabled tools where appropriate to support campaign planning, content ideation, research, reporting, and workflow efficiency.
• Other duties as assigned.
