About the job

Rookwood Pottery is looking for its next leader in Marketing to help grow the company by connecting our beautifully handcrafted products with those who love and appreciate them! For over 143 years Rookwood has been stunning the eye and stirring the soul with its one-of-a-kind creations. We are in need of someone with both the eye for art, and audience understanding to engage our customers and take us to the next level. If you’re up for a challenge, appreciate art, and love all things Cincinnati, then you might just be the right candidate for our Marketing Position!

·       Title: Marketing Manager

·       Reports to: President

·       Works closely with: Creative & Photography

General Overview

The position for Marketing Manager is one that requires a high level of execution as the company has an incredible assortment of product to market and support. With two main divisions, Rookwood’s marketing efforts are primarily bucketed by our Pottery products and our Architectural Tile products and are sold instore and online. You might think that these are two very different audiences, which they are at times, but at Rookwood we sell products that elevate the everyday from bowls to backsplashes!

One thing to note once you’re here is that whether you’re on the studio floor crafting the product or you’re in an office selling it, we’re all dealing with handmade works of art that are both designed to be enjoyed and admired. In a sense, we make the “Art” of modern living!

The position should be filled by one who’s inspired, a visionary, and has insatiable curiosity about life! Someone who’s a talented storyteller through the written word and creative imagery, who has a discerning eye, attention to detail, and upholds high standards for the brand.

The right fit for this position should be effortless in a sense… Your natural tastes and esthetics should be aligned to both understand and appreciate the arts as well as items made entirely by hand. Rookwood is not looking for someone to come and mold the brand into something it’s not, but rather someone who’s passionate about supporting and growing one of America’s oldest ceramic institutions. A company that makes handmade products, produced in the United States, primarily through a woman workforce and woman ownership, and has been doing so for 143 years.

Although the title is one that Manages our Marketing, we’re looking for someone that’s highly skilled and motivated, who’s prepared to do the work of the work, as well as be heads up and strategical. Someone who’s committed to building and protecting our brand value, influence and support customer loyalty, and someone who can create and maintain marketing systems that assure our products are both well received, and the results are measured.
