On any given day, you might be prototyping a new space station, designing cutting-edge technology, or traveling around the world conducting research. We are approaching our one-hundred-year anniversary and are proudly employee-owned. Our culture fosters collaboration, accountability, and stability—because when we succeed, we all win. Come be a part of something bigger than just a job—build your career with an employee-owned company that invests in you!

ABOUT THE ROLE:

The Strategic Marketing Lead is a full-time, 4-month temporary position responsible for designing, piloting, and documenting a marketing operating framework that the internal marketing team can own following the engagement. Candidates must be willing to work West Coast hours to ensure strong partnership with stakeholders.

Working closely with the Senior Director of Marketing, Business Development, executive leadership, and subject matter experts, you will organize Teague’s expertise, case studies, thought leadership, strategic priorities, and business development needs into a clear, repeatable marketing system.

This is not a traditional demand generation or campaign management role. Success will be measured by your ability to create clarity, establish repeatable processes, develop strategic marketing assets, and leave behind a framework that supports long-term growth.

Travel Expectations

Occasional domestic and international travel to support client and/or vendor projects or meetings.

WHO YOU ARE:

You’re a master builder with a designer’s eye - equal parts craftsman and creative problem-solver. You thrive in hands-on environments where ideas move fast and precision matters.

You’re fluent in working with materials like wood, metal, foam, and composites, and you understand how to pivot seamlessly between prototypes and polished presentations.
