Marketing Specialist

Sono-Tek Corporation is seeking a versatile, creative, and highly organized Marketing Specialist to coordinate and execute marketing activities across the entire company.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys wearing many hats and taking ownership of a wide variety of responsibilities. As Sono-Tek's primary in-house marketing resource, this individual will serve as the company's marketing department, coordinating marketing initiatives, supporting the development and execution of marketing strategies, and managing day-to-day marketing activities.

The position has no direct reports but involves significant collaboration with executive management, Sales, Engineering, outside marketing consultants, distributors, and other departments. The successful candidate will help translate company priorities into effective marketing initiatives while independently managing projects from concept through completion.

Responsibilities span digital marketing, graphic design, corporate presentations, investor relations materials, social media, trade shows, video production, website management, branding, and internal company communications.

While graphic design and creative capabilities remain important, Sono-Tek places significant value on candidates who embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies to improve productivity, streamline workflows, and enhance marketing effectiveness.

The ideal candidate is a proactive self-starter who enjoys variety, is comfortable working independently, and can balance creative thinking with hands-on execution. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants broad marketing experience, meaningful responsibility, and visibility throughout a growing technology company.
