Marketing Specialist – Naperville, IL

The STANLEY Security team is growing, and we're looking for a left-brained mastermind to join us in our Naperville, IL office (Chicago suburb)! This role will be focused specifically on gauging our program effectiveness and proving ROI on all our marketing activities, but it's so much more than that. I'm coming up on my first year with STANLEY, and I can honestly say that this is not only an amazing company to work for, but an incredibly serendipitous time to join the our team. We've gained dazzling momentum with Marketo in our first year with the platform, and are poised for HUGE success. A large part of this role requires an analytical mind, but also know that we're a small, lean team– that means the adventure is continuous!
