Partner Marketing Specialist (Phoenix, AZ based)

About Us

Trainual is a team of 80+ super-talented folks obsessed with making small business easier. And while our team members come with diverse experiences, we’re united by our passion for making ideas happen. We launched the world’s first playbook tool in 2018, and today, thousands of companies in nearly every industry use it to scale their teams. 

Why Trainual? 

We’re a great place to work. AZCentral named Trainual the #1 place to work in Arizona. And Inc recognized us on their 2021, 2022, and 2023 Best Workplaces list. But we can’t say we blame them. We’re a hybrid team with an unwavering culture that recognizes everyone’s impact matters. 

We’ve got benefits on benefits. Above market pay, an annual experience fund, 4 weeks paid vacation (plus 5 sick days), the latest tech, parental leave, 401k matching, free One Medical subscription, and top-notch health care - just to name a few.

We’re disrupting the SMB industry. Our goal is to equip every team with a winning playbook. One that provides clarity around who does what and how. And with 7k small businesses scaling what they do with Trainual, we’re only scratching the surface. 

We’re in good company. In June 2021, we closed a $27M Series B round. And we partner with some of the biggest names in small business, including Shark Tank star Daymond John, Slack, Loom, the cast of The Office, and more. 

We all own what we’re building. Everyone who works at Trainual has life-changing pre-IPO equity. That way, you can be proud of what we’re building and sleep well knowing your teammates are (literally) just as invested as you are.

TL;DR 

Trainual is looking for a Partner Marketing Specialist to join our incredible marketing team. [Peep this ad with Daymond John or this one with the cast of The Office to get an idea of how our team rolls!].This person will manage and execute the marketing campaigns that come out of our fast-growing strategic partner and sponsorship engagements. This includes things like campaign ideation, landing page creation/updates, blog coordination, working with our design team to create assets, partner communication, attending partner events, and more. This role will bridge the gap between the partnerships and marketing teams to ensure we’re making the most of any campaign with a partner and that we continue to set the bar for what great B2B SaaS marketing is.

So, who are you? You’re scrappy. You’re a marketing swiss army knife. You’re not afraid to jump into new platforms or tools. And (obvi) you love marketing - especially social media. You don’t like to be pigeonholed into doing the same thing every day. And thrive in opportunities that stretch your already-awesome marketing skills.

What you will own & improve:

• Campaign management You will be directly supporting the marketing deliverables for partner campaigns. This includes copywriting, prepping design collateral, creating landing pages and making updates as needed in Webflow, writing blogs, supporting partner webinars, ideating new campaigns, and more.
• Partner event support Given how fun our marketing campaigns are,you might suspect that we have an incredible events function. And you would be correct! If it supports partners, you’re in! Whether it’s collabing on some fun swag or packing your carry-on to go get some facetime with prospects.

What you already know:

• “A little bit about a lot” You have previous experience directly supporting multi-channel marketing campaigns and you’re excited to tackle anything that is thrown your way. You're a naturally curious self-starter and want to continue to expand your marketing skill set. 
• Copywriting Social media?Ads? Blogs? Check, check, check. Being a great writer is table stakes here on our marketing team. You’re a skilled communicator and we can count on you for polished, branded copy. 
• How to get people excited You’re just as interested in the people aspect of partner marketing as you are about the execution. You’re naturally a “people person” and know how to connect with partners on a personal level, whether that be on-site at an event or via email. 
• Website management Whether it’s Webflow or some other website management tool (ahem, looking at you Wordpress), you have experience managing landing page creation and updates. That includes being able to go into a CMS and make updates on your own. Or being able to clearly articulate any customizations to a developer!

Our Values

Show Up Ready: Plan enough to pull it off, and pivot if needed. For our customers and our co-workers, we embody preparation and order. We work from an agenda. We start and end meetings on time. We put in the effort to polish what we present, all in an effort to build trust with those around us. When a company hires Trainual, they expect an experience that feels simple. The appearance of simplicity requires tremendous planning and preparation, so this characteristic has to be a core trait of everyone that works here.

Make Ideas Happen: Execute on what you innovate. We don’t just tolerate change, and go along for the ride; we drive change. Companies are like cruise ships, and turning them can take some time. But turning the wheel happens in just a few seconds. It’s the decision to redirect, and to make something different. It’s the vantage point at the front of the boat where you can see where you’re heading, before anyone else knows. We are the ones to initiate this change. It’s up to us to have the vision, to always look forward, and to spot obstacles and opportunities before they become issues.

Carry the Groceries: Carry extra weight without being asked. Go above and beyond whenever you sense a need. Look for opportunities to impress, and be ready to roll your sleeves up to make someone else’s life a little easier. It’s what we do. "Before starting my first business, I bagged groceries at a supermarket in Massachusetts. No one ever expected me to carry the groceries to the car, but when I did, it made their day. It’s such a simple thing, and took only an extra minute of my time, but it made a tremendous difference in that customer’s experience at the store. At Trainual, be helpful everywhere possible." - Chris Ronzio, CEO

No Red Tape: Work hard to make every process easy. There is nothing more frustrating than a bureaucratic process, and you won’t find one here. Never make customers or coworkers jump through hoops. Don’t let policy supersede logic. You’ll never go wrong making things easier on others, so challenge every system that could have fewer steps, more automation, and less complexity.

Collect Experiences: Have endless curiosity for a new perspective and knowledge. We work with people in all different industries, from all different walks of life. In order to build trust, understand the real picture, and help create change, we need to build real relationships. Listen to others, and relate to them. Be an experience collector, so that you have an endless supply of topics that can be used to find common ground.

Everyone has a Key: In results we trust. You'll notice from your first day that every employee at Trainual literally has a key to the office. We trust you, or we wouldn't have hired you. Some people say trust is earned, but we believe that trust is the default. Everyone carries their weight, and everyone is an owner of what we are building. We won't tell you exactly how to get the job done -- you won't find micromanagement here. So, remember that your productivity is measured by your impact and your effort.

Hybrid Work at Trainual

At Trainual, we believe everyone has a key, literally. This value means you are an owner of your experience, productivity, and growth. We know everyone is different - productive at different times of day, in different settings, with different types of work. So what does this mean for the future of work at Trainual?

TL;DR - Work when, where, and how you work best. 

- Anyone can work from the office at any time. We often have remote folks in town working from our PHX office!

- If you live in Phoenix, there is not a requirement of days worked in the office. 

- You can work with your leader to find a schedule that works for you and the team.

- If you want to relocate to PHX, we will help make that happen! We want everyone to have a community, trusted relationships, easy collaboration, and a clear path for growth while maintaining the autonomy, ownership, and flexibility we've enjoyed with the transition to fully remote during the pandemic. As we transition to our hybrid work model, we want each team member to own their experience to ensure they are happy and fulfilled.

Location: 70% of our team is based out of Phoenix, AZ and our preference for new team members is local due to the ease of ad hoc collaboration and community building. However, we know great talent lives all over! If you don't live in Arizona and are interested in working at Trainual, we will consider each state on a case-by-case basis due to the implications of doing business in each state.

Visa Sponsorship: We welcome and support people of all different backgrounds (18% of our team was either born or raised outside of the US)! However, due to the constraints of being a small startup, we are not able to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas at this time.
