About this role  

PlanetBids is seeking a Marketing Manager to play a key role in growing VendorLine by driving awareness, engagement, and adoption among vendors. This role sits at the intersection of campaign execution, content development, and product marketing, and is ideal for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. 

VendorLine is PlanetBids’ vendor-focused platform designed to help businesses discover, track, and manage government contracting opportunities. By bringing relevant bids and opportunity management tools into one place, VendorLine helps vendors stay informed, save time, and compete more effectively for public projects. 

The Marketing Manager will own the VendorLine website and content experience, plan and execute marketing campaigns, and contribute to how the product is positioned and messaged to vendors. Because our marketing team is small, this role will have broad ownership and real impact from day one, working closely with the Marketing Director to build and execute VendorLine’s marketing strategy.
