About the Opportunity

Ellucian is seeking a Marketing Campaign Manager to join our team, reporting to the Director of Campaign Strategy. In this role, you will be at the forefront of shaping how we engage with higher education institutions, driving integrated, multi-channel campaigns that support complex buyer journeys and influence key decision-makers. You’ll own campaign strategy and execution end-to-end—developing compelling, persona-driven programs across digital, events, email, and more—while ensuring alignment across messaging, channels, and business priorities. Your work will directly impact pipeline creation and acceleration, helping institutions discover and adopt solutions that advance student success.

This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll partner closely with Solutions Marketing, Digital, Field Marketing, Sales, and Marketing Operations to deliver measurable results. You’ll leverage data, insights, and modern marketing technologies—including AI-enabled tools—to continuously optimize campaign performance and scale impact. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy blending strategy, storytelling, and analytics, this is a unique opportunity to play a key role in driving growth while making a meaningful difference in the ed-tech space.

Where You Will Make an Impact:

Integrated Campaign Strategy & Execution: Design and execute integrated, multi‑channel campaigns aligned to the higher‑education buyer journey. Ensure consistent messaging, strong CTAs, and a cohesive prospect experience across email, digital media, paid social, events (live/virtual), and direct mail.

Campaign Orchestration & Governance: Lead end‑to‑end campaign planning and orchestration across teams, channels, and timelines. Align dependencies, messaging, and follow‑up models to business priorities and complex buying groups.

Pipeline Creation & Acceleration: Own campaign performance from planning through optimization, driving measurable MQL and MOP contribution to pipeline. Continuously evaluate and refine programs to accelerate funnel conversion.

Measurement, Attribution & Insights: Partner with Marketing Operations to ensure accurate attribution, funnel tracking (engagement → MQL → MOP), and data hygiene across Salesforce and Marketo. Use insights to inform scaling, and refinement.

Content & AI‑Enabled Scaling:  Collaborate with Solutions Marketing, Corporate Strategy, and Digital to deploy persona‑aligned, compelling content. Leverage AI tools to accelerate content repurposing, campaign builds, performance analysis, and lifecycle extension.

Sales Enablement & Alignment: Enable Field Marketing, Sales, and SDR teams with clear positioning, target audiences, assets, and follow‑up guidance to convert engagement into pipeline.

Cross-functional Coordination: Coordinate effectively with cross-functional teams, including Solutions Marketing, Digital Marketing, Field Marketing, Sales, Sales Enablement, etc.

What You Will Bring:

Experience: 5–7+ years of marketing experience, ideally in demand generation or campaign management, including 3+ years in SaaS, technology, or IT‑related industries. Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent campaigns in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments.

Data & Insights: Strong ability to use data and insights to guide campaign strategy, optimization, and business outcomes.

Project Management: Strong project/program management skills with the ability to drive planning and ensure flawless execution.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and build rapport with core stakeholders and team members.

Ownership & Resourcefulness: Highly motivated, accountable, and proactive. Confident in the ability to leverage available resources to deliver results and meet KPIs.

Technology Proficiency: Hands‑on experience with tools such as Salesforce, Marketo, Tableau, Monday.com, 6Sense, ChatGPT, or similar platforms.

Passion for Higher Ed: A genuine interest in Ellucian’s mission to help institutions unlock learning for all.
