Job Description

Marketing & Engagement Manager

Ohio Economic Development Association (OEDA)

Reports to: President & CEO Location: Remote (Ohio residents only)

Applications open: June 11, 2026

OEDA is hiring a Marketing & Engagement Manager to lead communications for one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing state economic development associations. You’ll own our newsletters, website content, social media, and member storytelling - making sure OEDA’s voice is clear, consistent, and unmistakably grounded in the real work of economic development.

Why OEDA

We’ve grown to more than 900 members (one of the top five state economic development associations in the country) with record Annual Summit attendance and investor support that has more than doubled. This role is central to how we communicate that value, impact, and leadership across Ohio’s economic development community.

What We’re Looking For

Required

· Experience working within an economic development organization (marketing or communications experience in that setting qualifies) with working familiarity with Ohio's economic development ecosystem

· Ohio residency

· Genuine proficiency with, and enthusiasm for, AI tools. We produce a high volume of content, and AI is core to how we do it well and at pace. This is essential to the role, not a nice-to-have.

· Strong writing, plus graphic design and video editing ability

· Experience managing newsletters, digital content, and social media (LinkedIn is our primary platform)

Highly desired

· Proven ability to work effectively and independently in a remote environment

· Direct, hands-on experience doing economic development work

· Prior experience with OEDA and a positive disposition toward the organization and its mission

What we offer

· Full-time, flexible remote schedule

· $70,000–$80,000 salary, with performance-based bonus eligibility

· Paid time off and holidays, plus informal comp time during peak periods

· Health insurance support through a QSEHRA and a retirement plan through a SIMPLE IRA

· A visible role in a growing, high-impact statewide organization

Before you apply

This is a builder’s role inside an organization in the middle of a transformation. Much of the infrastructure you’ll rely on - the systems, the sources of truth, the templates and workflows - doesn’t fully exist yet. You’ll be creating that foundation at the same time you’re producing a high volume of content on top of it, and often defining the scope of your own work as you go. The role lives in the space between “here’s a clearly scoped assignment” and “here’s full latitude to define it yourself,” and it is fully remote - there’s no hallway to catch a loose thread before it drops.

If you’re energized rather than drained by building while you run, and you do your best work amid that kind of ambiguity, you’ll thrive here. If you need tightly scoped assignments handed to you, this likely isn’t the right fit, and that’s okay.
