Brand & Creative Manager
Location: Lombard, IL (Hybrid)

Compensation: $70,000-$80,000 Base Salary + Performance Bonus Opportunities

Company Description
TORQ Coatings is one of the fastest-growing concrete coating companies in the Midwest, transforming garages, basements, patios, and commercial spaces with premium floor coating systems built to last. We believe great brands are built by great people, and we’re on a mission to become the most trusted name in the industry through exceptional craftsmanship, unmatched customer experience, and world-class marketing.

As we continue expanding throughout Chicagoland, Milwaukee, and new Midwest markets, we’re looking for a Brand & Creative Manager who wants to help build something special and create a brand that stands above everyone else.

Role Description
We’re looking for a creative leader who lives and breathes branding, storytelling, and content.

As our Brand & Creative Manager, you’ll own every touchpoint of the TORQ brand. From social media and video content to jobsite storytelling, recruiting campaigns, sales collateral, events, and customer experience, you’ll ensure everything we put into the world reflects a premium, market‑leading brand.

This is not a desk‑only marketing role.

You’ll spend time in the office planning campaigns, on job sites capturing installs, filming with customers and crews, attending events, and working directly with the Founder and our Digital Marketing Manager to execute content that drives awareness, trust, and revenue.

If you love building brands, creating content that gets attention, and taking ownership instead of waiting for direction, you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Own and protect the TORQ brand across every customer touchpoint

Lead our organic social media strategy across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts

Capture content on job sites including before & afters, customer testimonials, crew highlights, and behind-the-scenes footage

Film, edit, and publish short‑form content that drives engagement and leads

Build recurring content series instead of one‑off posts

Work alongside leadership to launch new products, promotions, recruiting campaigns, and market expansions

Collaborate with our Digital Marketing Manager on paid advertising creative and campaign assets

Create marketing materials including brochures, sales collateral, presentations, signage, apparel, and trade show displays

Manage community engagement by responding to comments, messages, and reviews

Maintain consistency across all digital and print marketing

Support home shows, community events, and company initiatives through live content capture

Analyze performance metrics and continuously improve creative based on results

Help position TORQ as the market leader in every city we enter

What We’re Looking For

3+ years of experience in branding, creative marketing, or content creation

Strong understanding of social media platforms and content strategy

Experience filming and editing short‑form video (CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, etc.)

Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or similar creative tools

Excellent copywriting and storytelling skills

Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

Comfortable working both in the office and on active job sites

Ability to think creatively while executing quickly

Self-starter with an ownership mentality who doesn’t wait to be told what to do

Experience in home services, construction, remodeling, or related industries is a plus

Why Join TORQ?

$70,000-$80,000 base salary

Performance bonus opportunities

Work directly alongside the Founder to help shape one of the fastest‑growing brands in the industry

Hybrid work environment with flexibility

Real opportunity to build a brand from the ground up

High‑growth company with advancement opportunities

Collaborative, ambitious, and winning culture

The chance to make a visible impact on a company that’s scaling across the Midwest

If you’re passionate about building brands, creating content people actually want to watch, and leaving your mark on a fast‑growing company, we’d love to meet you.
