Kimmel Design House is seeking a highly organized, creative, and hands-on Senior Marketing Manager to serve as the full-time marketing owner for Kimmel Studio, Kimmel Interiors, procurement, and Kimmel Crafted.
Reporting directly to COO Maria Ruhlmann, PhD, and CEO Devin Kimmel, this person will take ownership of keeping the marketing program moving. They will coordinate priorities, manage calendars and deadlines, produce marketing materials, organize photography and video assets, manage digital channels, support paid advertising, and ensure that projects, products, and company initiatives are consistently presented at a high level.
They will not be responsible for setting the entire company’s marketing vision independently. Instead, they will be responsible for ensuring that the strategy established by leadership is organized, produced, launched, maintained, and measured.
This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role for a senior operator who moves seamlessly between planning and production, strategy and execution—and who can personally create polished graphics, campaigns, presentations, advertisements, and digital content.
Your Role

Graphic Design & Asset Production: Personally create polished graphics, presentations, print collateral, advertisements, and digital assets. Organize, label, and maintain libraries for photography, video, projects, products, and brands.
Vendor & Partner Coordination: Work closely with studio directors to identify project stories and coordinate with photographers, videographers, freelancers, and outside creative partners.
Digital & Channel Execution: Manage Instagram, Pinterest (developing boards for architecture, interiors, products, and design), website content, and email marketing. Assist with Google Ads, campaign tracking, analytics, and performance reporting.
Awards & Recognition: Prepare project materials and submit entries for annual design, architecture, and business awards.
Structure & Follow-Through: Track inquiries, contact lists, and campaign activity, bringing structure, consistency, and a high standard to all ongoing marketing efforts.
