Head of Brand & Marketing
Abbotsford, BC, Canada
Full Time
Marketing
Experienced
If you’re a senior brand and marketing leader who values clarity, credibility, and good judgment over hype, this role may be for you.
Smart, Savvy + Associates is proud to partner with Safetek Profire & Hub Fire Engines, in the search for a Head of Brand & Marketing.
This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who understands that in public safety, a brand is built on trust, not just a campaign calendar. Reporting directly to the President, you’ll own the brand and marketing function end-to-end, shaping a strategy that reflects the company’s values and genuinely supports the firefighters and first responders who rely on these vehicles every day.
Initially, as a team of one, you’ll set direction, make priorities clear, and execute with intention — defining how the company shows up with customers, partners, and the broader industry. This role calls for sound judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to connect brand, customer experience, and business outcomes without noise or hype.
