Digital Marketing - 12-month Contract

The opportunity

Winning isn’t just about the close. It’s about the way companies experience our differentiated value proposition at the beginning and across the middle that will ultimately define our future success as a professional services firm. Getting there means delivering meaningful touchpoints in the right ways and at the right time to create distinctly personal content and joined-up experiences for clients and potential clients that help answer the big questions they’re asking every single day.

In this role, the Assistant Director, Digital Marketing position has an exciting chance to play a part in redefining the way a large-scale organization like ours engages audiences, cultivates relationships and drives leads. And your expertise and passion for creating omnichannel experiences with our digital landscape will be the foundation of this role.

On paper, we’re looking for someone who can manage the digital experience on the EY.com/ca website, the Marketo platform, and build and execute digital marketing campaigns that support defined B2B demand generation programs. In this role you will leverage Marketo and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) platform to help us deliver relevant content and experiences that not only bring people into the EY world, but give them compelling reasons to stay.

In reality, you’ll operate in the gray zone with innate curiosity and a sense of experimentation to bring to life a high volume of campaigns and reimagine how we go to market with a relentless focus on data analytics and optimization. Success will come with a deep understanding of our clients – what they buy, how they buy, why they buy, where they go for information, and how they engage. Through your work, we’ll hear, respond to and target clients better than ever before through the channels that matter most to them. And together, we’ll foster loyalty, drive advocacy, and enhance experiences across every EY interaction. If you’re the right person to help us chart that course forward – and have some fun along the way – we’d like to hear from you.
