Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.
Doane Grant Thornton LLP is looking for a Regional Marketing & Communications Specialist to join our Atlantic Canadian team. In this role, you will have a direct impact on business success, by providing strategic marketing direction and support to our professionals in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Northern Ontario.
This role reports to the Senior Manager, Regional Marketing and Communications (Atlantic Canada), and is a member of the firm-wide marketing team, collaborating both regionally and nationally. It is based in downtown Halifax; however, it sometimes requires travel to other offices in the region. It also requires flexibility to attend offsite events, sometimes in the evenings.
As a Regional Marketing & Communications Specialist your responsibilities will include:
- Work closely with the Senior Manager, Regional Marketing and Communications (Atlantic Canada) to execute and contribute to the development of Atlantic Canadian marketing plans, as well as support the local execution of national campaigns. Collaborate with National Marketing specialists in communications, digital, PR, and design to help bring your campaigns to life.
- Partner with internal clients and colleagues to understand business priorities and make strategic marketing recommendations to achieve business objectives. Learn the business by engaging and building relationships with them.
- Function like a consultant to internal clients, bringing value to the entire marketing process. Ask questions about who the target audience is and what they want them to think, feel, do, or say as a result of a campaign.
- Understand the touch points and stages of a sale, and where the prospect or client is within the lifecycle, including planning and anticipating when offers needs to be developed and delivered, and what form they should take.
- Educate internal clients on the role of marketing, including the processes and required inputs to produce effective campaigns, and work with them to plan for periods of high demand.
