Ascendant’s Next Ventures team is building three very different businesses in parallel. One turns your texting app into a way of deepening your connection with loved ones. Another is organizing a micro, real-world community for tech professionals. And the other is producing a novel way to learn about and enjoy gourmet foods.

Each venture requires a marketer with the dexterity to take on activities ranging from setting strategy, writing creative copy, shaping graphic design, recruiting and collaborating with other creative talent, and investing in paid media. This manager is to deliver solid campaign results, even if the outcome is learning what not to do next time. The role also involves sharing responsibility with the team’s lead for coordinating work and getting things done.

If you’re experienced in marketing or a related discipline, are a capable communicator, and enjoy turning big ideas into an action plan, consider joining our team.
