Job Summary

The Solutions Marketing Specialist is a hands-on, execution-focused role responsible for driving awareness, adoption, and commercial success of Phoenix Contact’s industrial networking, connectivity, and communications solutions across key application areas, including Transportation, Energy, and Public Safety.

• Support product positioning and the development of product launch and sales enablement materials, including product briefs, presentations, and brochures.
• Drive execution of solution launches, campaigns, and go-to-market initiatives aligned with commercial objectives.
• Identify gaps in marketing content, campaigns, or positioning and proactively develop solutions to address them.
• Monitor campaign and digital performance metrics and recommend optimizations to improve engagement and outcomes.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Management, Sales, Engineering, and Marketing teams to align messaging with application and market needs.
• Support planning and execution of trade shows and events, including booth coordination, event content, and integrated campaign support.
• Manage multiple projects and timelines to ensure deliverables are completed on schedule.
• Demonstrate initiative by independently driving work forward while incorporating input from stakeholders as needed.
• Take ownership of responsibilities by following through on commitments and demonstrating accountability.
• Other duties as assigned by manager.
