Reports To:  Marketing Manager

Overview

Melrose International is looking for a Marketing Strategist who’s ready to step into the future of marketing—today. This is a unique opportunity to join an AI-driven team that’s rewriting how seasonal products and home décor are marketed. You don’t need decades of experience—you need curiosity, drive, and a willingness to learn. We’ll give you the tools and training. You bring the spark.

In this role, you’ll help shape campaign ideas, craft compelling content, assist with visual layout and photography (including AI-generated imagery), and help our team move faster and smarter using modern tools. This is a creative, fast-paced environment where initiative is valued and experimentation is part of the culture.

Whether you’ve worked in marketing for a year or are coming from another creative background—if you're passionate about storytelling, visual branding, and learning how to use AI to level up your work, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate on campaign strategy, seasonal launches, and marketing messaging
  • Write content for emails, product pages, social media, and catalog features
  • Assist with photography planning—including capturing visuals and using AI image tools for concepting and content generation
  • Contribute to graphic layout via Canva or Adobe, or collaborate on design direction
  • Use (or learn) AI tools to improve workflow, from brainstorming to production
  • Help organize campaign assets, calendars, and marketing processes
  • Ensure brand tone is consistent across every collection and marketing channel

You Might Be A Fit If You

  • A sharp writer with a creative voice
  • A fast learner who loves testing new tools, especially AI-driven ones
  • Visually minded and excited about branding, layout, and design
  • Comfortable jumping into photography sessions—or experimenting with AI photo generation
  • Hungry to grow in a marketing role where you’ll wear multiple hats
  • Energized by seasonal trends, retail, or home décor

What You Bring

  • 1–2 years of experience in marketing, content, communications, or a creative field
  • Interest or experience in photography—product photography or visual styling a plus
  • Familiarity with tools like Canva or Adobe Creative Suite
  • Curiosity and a strong willingness to learn AI tools (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Canva Magic, Descript, etc.)
  • Clear communication skills and a desire to work collaboratively with a lean team
  • Bonus: experience with email marketing, social media management, or CRM tools

Why Join Melrose

Melrose International is a leader in seasonal and home décor product design, serving thousands of retailers nationwide. We’re not a traditional marketing team—we are actively integrating AI into our daily work, from content and design to photography and planning. This role gives you a front-row seat to the future of marketing, plus hands-on support and real growth potential.
