Marketing Director

The Gathering Spot • Atlanta, GA • 4h ago

The Marketing Director leads the Marketing & Communications Department of The Gathering Spot. This role oversees and drives the execution of all marketing and communications projects and tasks, and leads the strategic and long-term vision of The Gathering Spot's marketing initiatives - with a focus on driving member engagement, growing program and event attendance, generating qualified membership applications, and amplifying the cultural voice of TGS through timely, relevant, and brand-aligned content.

TGS sits at the intersection of culture and community. The right candidate has sharp instincts for when and how a culturally relevant brand should engage in current conversations - and the judgment to know when not to. This role is also responsible for telling our members' stories: highlighting their wins, their work, and the events that make TGS feel like the room where it happens.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Strategic Planning & Execution of marketing initiatives that drive membership growth, member retention, event activation, and brand engagement

Tracking Execution of Deliverables Across Marketing & Communications Department

Leading, Developing, and Monitoring Brand & Voice of The Gathering Spot

Approving all marketing and communications assets and deliverables

Leading the member communications schedule - including the strategy for member storytelling and the highlighting of member events, recognition moments, and community milestones

Building and managing the cultural calendar - identifying when TGS should engage in current cultural conversations and developing brand-aligned content that participates in those moments authentically

Serving as a cross-departmental liaison to lead marketing and communications initiatives that touch various other departments

Direct reports include Social Media Manager and Communications Manager

Contractor and Vendor Management - including graphic designer, department admin, photographers, and videographers

Partnering with Membership Recruitment on top-of-funnel content and campaigns designed to drive qualified applications

Partnering with Programming and Member Events on event marketing and post-event content to drive attendance

Job Requirements

7+ years of marketing and communications experience, ideally including hospitality, membership, lifestyle brands, or media companies

Demonstrated experience in member or community-driven storytelling - bringing real people, real moments, and real wins to the front of brand communications

Ability to lead and manage a team of marketing creatives, closely tracking timelines and deliverables

Ability to work well with a team and collaborate effectively

Ability to work well under pressure and with quick turnaround
