Lead Marketing Consultant (Climate Tech / Contract)
Iron Core Marketing is a boutique marketing consultancy focused exclusively on working with climate tech startups and growth-stage clean energy companies.
Our team of experienced marketing consultants helps B2B climate tech companies build and manage repeatable systems for consistently generating leads — creating steady sales pipelines that power long-term growth.
We’re growing our consulting collective and are looking for an experienced marketer who wants meaningful climate impact work on a flexible, part-time basis.
As a Lead Marketing Consultant at Iron Core Marketing, you’ll serve as the primary owner of 1–2 client accounts at a time.
This is not a junior execution role. You’ll own strategy, lead delivery, and manage day-to-day client relationships — supported by Iron Core’s frameworks, systems, and leadership.
You’ll work directly with sales, marketing, and commercial leaders at climate tech companies to clarify positioning, launch GTM initiatives, build marketing foundations, and generate qualified pipeline.
- Lead client discovery and onboarding sessions
- Define ICPs, positioning, messaging, and GTM priorities
- Build practical marketing roadmaps aligned to business and revenue goals
- Plan and oversee GTM initiatives (webinars, content programs, thought leadership, LinkedIn campaigns, email campaigns, etc.)
- Oversee creation of key marketing assets (case studies, one-pagers, landing pages, messaging frameworks)
- Ensure campaigns meet quality standards and launch timelines
- Own the Asana project plan as the source of truth for each account
- Assign tasks and manage timelines across internal consultants and client stakeholders
- Prioritize work, manage scope, and proactively flag risks or delivery bottlenecks
- Maintain execution cadence and delivery momentum
- Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned accounts
- Run weekly client check-ins
- Maintain accountability, alignment, and execution pace
- Own campaign performance tracking and reporting (registrations, leads, pipeline impact)
- Translate results into clear client-facing insights and recommendations
- Flag underperformance early and adjust strategy accordingly
- Work closely with Iron Core leadership and supporting consultants
- Contribute ideas and best practices across the team
- Help refine repeatable delivery processes and playbooks
You’ll be a strong fit if you:
- Have 15+ years of marketing and communications experience
- Have 5+ years of experience in climate tech (clean energy experience is a plus)
- Are comfortable owning both strategy and execution
- Have led campaigns end-to-end (not just supported them)
- Are confident working directly with executive stakeholders
- Prefer variety and ownership over narrow channel specialization
- Have prior consulting or fractional experience
This role is NOT a fit if you:
- Are looking for purely junior execution work
- Only want to specialize in one channel (SEO-only, ads-only, design-only, etc.)
- Need heavy day-to-day direction
- Prefer highly structured corporate environments
- Are seeking guaranteed full-time hours immediately
Many of our consultants previously ran solo consulting practices or fractional roles.
Iron Core is designed to remove the hardest part of independent consulting: consistently finding high-quality clients.
We handle most lead generation, sales conversations, contracting, and onboarding — allowing consultants to focus on delivery and impact.
Most Lead Consultants start with a small number of hours per month and grow their workload over time as accounts expand and new clients are added.
This role is ideal if you want:
- A reliable stream of client work without constant prospecting
- A clear path to grow your consulting income over time
- Flexible fractional work with meaningful ownership
- The support and structure of a consulting collective
- Meaningful climate impact work
- Flexible, remote-first consulting model
- Senior-level ownership and autonomy
- Opportunity to grow into long-term Lead Consultant roles
- Competitive contract rates based on experience
- Opportunity to increase account ownership and monthly workload based on performance and availability
Starting at $125/hour, with higher rates available based on experience, performance, and account ownership scope
