Director, Marketing & Business Development at Wearemeru

Welcome to MERU. We are a values-driven, impact-oriented team dedicated to helping middle-market companies navigate complex challenges. Founded by professionals from McKinsey and Alvarez & Marsal, we provide expert advisory services and data analytics support to private equity firms, investment banks, and law firms. Over the last eight years, we have grown rapidly by acting as true partners to our clients rather than traditional consultants. We believe in developing well-rounded professionals, which is why we avoid siloing our team members and instead provide comprehensive training across all our service lines. When you join us, you will be supported by an internal coach dedicated to your professional development, and you will work in an environment that respects your personal time and encourages a healthy work-life balance.

What you'll be doing

• Define and execute an integrated marketing strategy that positions our firm as a trusted leader in the professional services space.
• Partner with firm leadership to develop high-impact thought leadership, campaigns, and brand assets that resonate with C-suite executives and private equity audiences.
• Lead efforts to map and strengthen key relationships with clients, referral sources, and private equity partners while overseeing our CRM and market intelligence practices to drive firm-wide growth.

What you'll bring

We are looking for a senior professional with at least 10 years of experience in marketing, business development, or client strategy, ideally within sectors like consulting, investment banking, or private equity. You should possess a strong blend of strategic vision and hands-on execution capability. Your background should include:

• Proven success in high-touch, trust-based sales environments and working with senior decision-makers.
• Proficiency with CRM systems and marketing automation tools, specifically Salesforce, Pardot, or Marketo.
• Exceptional writing, communication, and presentation skills to create compelling content and pitch materials.
• Experience in event design and execution, ranging from intimate executive roundtables to large-scale conferences.
• The ability to work full-time in our Atlanta or New York City offices, with travel requirements kept under 25 percent.
• Current authorization to work in the United States.

What you'll get

Joining our team means you will have the opportunity to further your career while maintaining your entrepreneurial spirit. We prioritize your growth through:

• Access to a dedicated internal coach to guide your professional development plan.
• Comprehensive training across all service offerings, including performance improvement, turnaround and restructuring, transaction services, and data insights.
• A culture that mandates balance and respects your personal time.
• The chance to work within a collaborative, high-impact team that challenges and supports you.
