Marketing & Operations Coordinator | Reotemp Instruments | San Diego (Sorrento Valley)
About Reotemp
We're Reotemp, an American manufacturer powering safer, more reliable industry. Our temperature and pressure instruments are built in the USA, configured to the exact need, and shipped fast, so plants keep running and people stay safe.
The marketing team turns complexity into clarity. We tell the story of "quick and easy," custom, not complicated; responsive, not red tape. We write the words, build the pages, run the shows, and create the tools that help customers find us, trust us, and buy again, to get the right instrument in the right hands, right now.
Join us if you want your work to matter on the factory floor and beyond, helping customers produce more safely, with less downtime, and with a partner they can count on.
About This Role
This role is roughly 75% execution, owning the day-to-day operations of our marketing function, and 25% your own initiatives, where you'll identify gaps, propose projects, and shape how we grow. The person we hire will help define what this team looks like over the next 5 to 10 years.
We've found that the best candidates aren't always people with "marketing" in their current title. They might come from operations, communications, journalism, or engineering-adjacent work. What they share: they're organized, curious, write clearly, and already use AI tools to get real work done.
Who You Are
A finisher. When you take something on, it gets done. You don't need someone checking in on you to stay on track, but you're not too proud to ask when you're stuck.
Comfortable being the least technical person in the room. You work alongside engineers and salespeople daily and find that interesting rather than intimidating. You ask good questions.
Low ego, high output. This is a small team in a family-owned company. There's no room for ego, and there's a lot of room for someone who pitches in, adapts, and brings a good attitude on a bad day.
Naturally curious. You want to know how things work, including products, processes, customers, and markets. You don't wait to be handed a project brief. When you see something that could be better, you say so and often show up with a draft.
A clear communicator. In writing and in person. You can translate a conversation with an engineer into a datasheet a customer can actually use. You edit your own work. You care about the details.
What You'll Own
Tradeshow coordination (4 to 5 per year): logistics, checklists, booth setup, collateral, and post-show follow-up. These start loosely defined and you bring the structure.
Website B2B merchandizing: product pages, photos, datasheets, drawings, and video.
Email automation: building and maintaining campaigns in platforms like Mailchimp.
Marketing file library: keeping source files, brand assets, and literature organized and version-controlled.
Product literature production: datasheets, catalogs, packaging, and instructions using Adobe Creative Cloud. Canva or Figma is fine as a starting point and we'll train you on Adobe.
Sales enablement: turning customer feedback and technical detail into collateral that helps reps close.
Qualifications

What We're Looking For
Some experience in a marketing, operations, or coordination role is helpful, but the background matters less than the fundamentals:
Organization. You manage your own work without dropping things. You build checklists by reflex.
LLM fluency. You use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini regularly to solve real problems, not as a novelty. You'll tell us how in your application.
Clear writing. You can take something technical and make it understandable.
Eye for design. You can tell which of two layouts works better and explain why.
Curiosity about business. You'll ask why things work the way they do and bring up ideas without being asked.
Comfort around technical people. You'll work closely with engineers, product managers, and salespeople. That should sound appealing.
What We're Offering
$60K to $75K total comp, with flexibility for the right person and aggressive growth tied to added value.
Hybrid schedule after an initial 90-day onboarding period: 3 days in-office, 2 days remote.
A real trajectory: we promote from within and many people here have been with us 15 to 30-plus years.
A family-owned environment that's collaborative, stable, and genuinely low-drama.
To Apply
Send a resume and at least one work sample. This can be a school project, a process you documented, a website you maintained, or a presentation you built.
