Marketing Communications Manager

We have been recognized for both our internal employee experience and delivering a trusted customer experience. At TXI, we are very intentional about the way we work and support both our team and our clients.

1. We focus on Product Innovation by helping initially to envision new product concepts for our clients. We are core contributors to shaping the work that we do and the problems we're working to solve. In addition to that ideation stage, we get to help them bring these new concepts to market. We help both to build the right thing (design thinking and product discovery) and build the thing right (agile mindset and iterative approach).

2. We care about DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging). To deliver the best solutions, we need as many bright and diverse minds in the room as possible, and we need to be able to learn from them once they’re there. That’s why we’re working to create an environment that’s comfortable and inclusive for everyone. Learn more about our DEIB learnings, roadmap, and history (https://txidigital.com/deib)

3. We work in a variety of industries, encouraging our team members to explore new domains, solve different kinds of problems, and adopt new technologies. There is no getting bored in our portfolio; you’ll work across digital health, industry 4.0, edtech, and nonprofits, just to name a few, and building web, mobile, and IOT solutions.

4. We work in integrated teams. At TXI, we seek to bring all of the good ideas to the table so you learn from the talented teammates you regularly pair with. Product, design, and development regularly collaborate, and we are all listening to the same users.

5. We are intentional about supporting each individual's growth. "Challenge and support each other" is a core value of the company and we take that mission seriously. That's why every employee has a personal learning and development budget, everyone has a bi-weekly conversation with their manager about their progress, and our CEO created the Sticky Note Game to encourage each person's path at TXI.

7. We value transparency and open discussion. You will have a front-line view of the company's performance, risks and issues, finances and budgets. With unique tools and facilitation techniques, we also regularly connect and discuss topics as a company to guide our path forward.

8. We build products that matter. We advance the causes and goals of our partners and consistently deliver outcomes for them. See some examples below.

For over two decades, we've partnered with clients across industries to research, design, and develop award winning custom web and mobile applications that make a meaningful impact. These impacts include: 

<>Transformed a data logger company to a global leader in tech-based environmental monitoring, driving the US industrial sector into Industry 4.0.

<>Empowering healthcare providers with powerful digital products to enhance the quality of patient care, streamline administrative tasks, and improve overall healthcare outcomes

<>Driving accountability and motivation for patients recovering from spinal surgery through integrated mobile app and wearable device on the patient’s lower back

<>Improving prediction of patient enrollment in global clinical trials for life-saving drugs through the integration of advanced analytics and digital innovation

  

<>Designing a digital experience to support LGBTQ+ 14-17-year-old youths who are facing societal and personal challenges prior to coming out, driven by evidence-based treatment and therapy plans

But the work is just part of what makes TXI a rewarding place to be. We support one another’s interests—whether volunteering, organizing meetups, speaking at industry events, or learning new techniques and technologies. If there's something you're passionate about, we want you to pursue it so you can teach it to the rest of us. Our company Brunch & Learns, Sticky Note Game, and regular practice meetings are just some of the ways we create space for sharing, learning, and professional development.

The salary range for this role is $90K - $110K. In addition to competitive compensation, we offer the following benefits, intended to take care of you (and the people you care about): 

- Discretionary (open) paid time off

- Quality health insurance and medical travel benefit

- Paid parental leave policy (equal for all TXI parents)

We have a remote-first environment at TXI–with distributed team members in the US, Canada, and Europe who are working from home. We communicate and collaborate effectively in a remote environment with tools like Miro, Notion, Slack, and Zoom. We also prioritize virtual bonding and values such as inclusivity, autonomy and trust while ensuring we take steps to foster positive interactions between employees. 

While we encourage asynchronous communication, we often work in pairs or in collaboration sessions, so it is important to have some core hours of overlap with our clients and fellow team members. Once again, and due to the nature of the role, preferred candidates are based in or around the Chicagoland area. Regardless of where you are living and working, we will get together in person and as a company several times a year to help build connections and foster relationships within our team. 

If we move forward, here's what the interview process will look like:

Initial Interview: After connecting with our recruiting team, you’ll meet the hiring lead over Zoom and cover some TXI basics. We’ll focus on your past work and how it relates to what you’ll be doing at TXI. This stage is a 2-call process and should take no more than 90 min total (unless you want to dig in, chat more, and spend some extra time learning about us!).

Virtual Case Study: Here is where we give you a job preview for the role, as well as the opportunity to show off your skills. Our goal is to get a sense of how you approach Marcom work, how you collaborate with a team, and how you solve problems. This stage should take no more than 90 minutes total, and by the end we'll both have a clear sense of how we work together.

Final All-Team interview: At this stage we're incredibly excited about your potential to join TXI. You'll meet with 6 to 8 of your potential team members over a 3.5-hour session, where we will learn more about your leadership skills, stakeholder management skills, and values alignment. You will also spend time with members of our leadership team to talk about how TXI can support you on your journey.

Offer/Decision within 24-48 hours: You’ve made it! You successfully completed the process and spent time learning about us while sharing more about yourself. Once we get to this stage, we like to move fast. We are committed to debriefing within 24 hours and presenting a final decision within 48 hours (or less!) of your final interview day. If we choose to move forward, our team will collaborate with you to ensure that you have all the information you need to make the right decision for you and your career!
