Legal Marketing Lead

TransPerfect Legal's Marketing & Communications team is seeking a full-time Marketing Lead, Operations and Enablement based in Chicago or Raleigh. This role will report to the Senior Marketing Manager and operate the day-to-day marketing engine independently, exercising strong judgment and growing into owning this function over time. The ideal candidate is not just an executor but an operator with a leadership mindset: someone who identifies problems before being asked, pushes back when priorities are wrong, and takes genuine ownership of outcomes. You will be the person who keeps things moving when it matters most.

Primary Responsibilities Include:

Strategic Sales Enablement

• Partner with senior Sales and Product stakeholders to proactively identify priority enablement needs tied to current growth initiatives, and helping shape the roadmap

• Own end-to-end delivery of core sales enablement materials (pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, email sequences), ensuring assets are accurate, on-brand, and aligned to agreed messaging

• Maintain enablement governance: central repository, version control, naming conventions, and a refresh/retirement cadence so content stays current and easy to find

• Exercise judgment on scope and feasibility — push back on requests that aren't ready, resourced, or strategically aligned, offering clear trade-offs when needed

Audience Engagement

• Coordinate marketing execution for priority audience engagement programs (educational and product-focused webinars, targeted outreach campaigns), owning timelines, stakeholder inputs, approvals, and post-program follow-up

• Draft and refine first-pass copy for engagement assets in collaboration with SMEs, maintaining quality and brand consistency throughout

• Anticipate bottlenecks and resource conflicts before they surface, and come to stakeholders with solutions rather than problems

Marketing Operations and Admin

• Own the day-to-day operating cadence for Legal marketing including intake, prioritization, timelines, status updates, and stakeholder

• Serve as the primary point of contact for all inbound Legal marketing and enablement requests: clarify scope, gather requirements, assign owners, and drive work to completion

• Maintain a transparent workboard (i.e. Monday. com) with clear priorities, deadlines, dependencies, approvals, and workload visibility

• Proactively identify capacity constraints, risks, and bottlenecks, escalating early and with a recommended path forward

• Identify opportunities to improve how the team operates and take initiative to implement them; this function should look more capable a year from now because of what you have built

• 5+ years of experience in marketing operations, marketing project management, sales enablement, and/or campaign and program execution

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, and stakeholders in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, keeping things running without close oversight

• Strong project management skills and attention to detail (workbacks, dependency management, approvals)

• Excellent writing and communication skills; comfortable drafting and refining first-pass copy and incorporating SME feedback

• Proven ability to exercise judgment, manage trade-offs, and push back on stakeholders when needed

• Comfort partnering directly with senior leaders and cross-functional teams; you don't wait to be invited into the conversation

• Familiarity with marketing workflow tools like Monday. com and CRM systems like Salesforce

• An ownership mindset: you treat the work as yours, take pride in the outcomes, and don't need to be asked twice

• Travel: 10–15%
