Overview
This template is a Marketing Manager job posting paired with a structured interview scorecard. It is designed for teams that want one document to define the role, publish the opening, and evaluate candidates against the same job-related criteria.
Use it when you are hiring a Marketing Manager and need the posting to cover the role level, employment type, experience level, salary range, required skills, preferred skills, and the core sections candidates expect: What you’ll do, What we’re looking for, and Why join us. The scorecard portion helps interviewers assess essential functions, channel ownership, campaign execution, analytics, stakeholder management, and communication using consistent criteria instead of subjective impressions.
This template is a good fit for cross-functional marketing roles where the scope is broad enough to require structure but not so specialized that a niche template would be better. It works well for in-house hiring across SaaS, e-commerce, professional services, healthcare, and nonprofit teams.
Do not use it as-is if the role is actually product marketing, lifecycle marketing, brand-only, or marketing operations. In those cases, the essential functions, required skills, and interview scorecard should be rewritten to match the real job. It is also not the right fit if you need a highly technical growth role with heavy experimentation or a senior leadership role with people management and budget ownership beyond a typical Marketing Manager scope.
Standards & compliance context
- Structure the posting around job-related criteria to support EEOC and OFCCP-aligned, bias-free hiring practices.
- Use ADA-friendly essential functions language so candidates can understand the core duties of the role.
- Avoid making years of experience the only seniority gate; evaluate skills, outcomes, and scope of work instead.
- If the role is exempt, make sure the salary range and duties are consistent with FLSA exempt classification expectations.
- Include compensation details where local posting laws require salary transparency, especially for California, New York, Colorado, and Washington.
General regulatory context for orientation only — verify current requirements with counsel or the relevant agency before relying on this template for compliance.
How to use this template
- 1. Fill in the company, department, role level, employment type, remote status, and salary range so the posting matches the actual opening.
- 2. Edit the description_template to spell out What you’ll do, What we’re looking for, and Why join us using the channels, KPIs, and stakeholders this manager will own.
- 3. Replace the default requirements_template with 5-8 required skills and 3-5 preferred skills tied to essential functions, not generic marketing buzzwords.
- 4. Add interview scorecard criteria for each interviewer, using observable evidence such as campaign planning, copy review, analytics interpretation, and cross-functional coordination.
- 5. Review the final posting for bias-free language, compensation transparency, and location rules before publishing to your ATS and job boards.
- 6. After the first hiring cycle, revise the scorecard based on which criteria predicted success and which ones created confusion.
Best practices
- Use a title_template that reflects the actual level and specialty, such as Marketing Manager, Demand Generation Manager, or Field Marketing Manager.
- Write essential functions as actions the person must perform, not as vague traits or team slogans.
- Keep required skills to the minimum needed to do the job well, and move everything else into preferred skills.
- Tie the scorecard to evidence you can observe in the interview, such as campaign examples, channel decisions, or reporting samples.
- Include salary range, employment type, and remote ok status in the posting before you publish it.
- Use role level and experience level together so the posting does not rely on years of experience alone.
- Remove subjective language like 'culture fit,' 'rockstar,' or 'ninja' because it weakens both compliance and candidate trust.

Common use cases
Frequently asked questions
What is this template used for?
This template is for posting a Marketing Manager role and standardizing how candidates are evaluated. It combines a job posting with a structured interview scorecard so the hiring team can compare applicants against the same criteria. It is especially useful when you want the posting, interview rubric, and role expectations to stay aligned.
Who should use the interview scorecard in this template?
The hiring manager should own the scorecard, but every interviewer should use it during the process. Recruiters can use it to screen for title fit, required skills, and compensation alignment before interviews begin. If you have panel interviews, this template helps each interviewer score the same essential functions and competencies instead of relying on memory.
How often should the scorecard be updated?
Update it whenever the role changes, the hiring level changes, or the team’s priorities shift. If the Marketing Manager is now focused on demand generation instead of brand-only work, the scorecard should reflect that. It is also worth revisiting after each hiring cycle to remove vague criteria and tighten the required skills list.
Does this template work for different marketing specialties?
Yes, but it should be customized to the actual scope of the role. A product marketing manager, lifecycle marketing manager, or field marketing manager will need different essential functions and preferred skills. Keep the structure, then swap in the channel mix, KPIs, and collaboration partners that match the job.
How does this template support bias-free hiring?
It encourages skills-first language, clear essential functions, and specific evaluation criteria instead of subjective terms like 'culture fit' or 'rockstar.' That makes it easier to follow EEOC and OFCCP-aligned practices by focusing on job-related qualifications. It also helps interviewers avoid over-weighting years of experience when outcomes and skill evidence matter more.
What should be included in the salary range?
Include a realistic salary range with a minimum, maximum, and type so candidates know what to expect. The range should match the role level, location, and scope, and it should be filled in before posting in places where compensation transparency is required. If the role can be remote, note whether the range changes by location.
Can this template be used for remote or hybrid roles?
Yes, and it should say so clearly in the posting. Use the 'remote ok' field to indicate whether fully remote, hybrid, or on-site work is allowed, and add any location constraints that affect collaboration or compensation. That helps avoid mismatched applicants and reduces back-and-forth during screening.
What are the most common mistakes when using a structured scorecard?
The biggest mistake is scoring on vague traits instead of observable evidence. Another common issue is listing too many requirements, which can discourage qualified applicants and make interviews harder to compare. Teams also sometimes forget to align the scorecard with the actual essential functions, which weakens both the posting and the interview process.
How does this compare to an ad-hoc job posting?
An ad-hoc posting often mixes responsibilities, preferences, and nice-to-haves without a clear evaluation method. This template gives you a reusable posting structure plus a scorecard, which makes screening and interviewing more consistent. It is easier to hand off, easier to audit, and easier to customize for future openings.
