Marketing Consulting Lead

Job Description:
There is an exciting opportunity for a Marketing Consulting Lead to join Onni Capital in Vancouver. Onni Capital is a new investment and company building platform within the Onni Group. Operating at the intersection of a venture studio, private equity firm, and family office, we build new companies, invest in exceptional founders, and pursue opportunities where Onni's capital, operating platform, real estate portfolio, and industry relationships create a meaningful advantage. Onni Capital is being built from the ground up with the speed, ambition, and working style of a technology company. Our team works across venture creation, technology, private investments, fund investments, and special opportunities.
This role owns everything Onni Capital shows the world, sells marketing as a service to the companies in the portfolio, and runs both like projects that actually ship.
Onni Capital is a new brand attached to a fifty year old real estate company. Nobody outside the industry knows it exists yet. Building that from zero is the first half of the job: the identity, the launch, the website, the press, the events, the podcast, the video, the social presence.
The second half is commercial. Panni Consulting sells marketing services to Onni's portfolio companies and to external clients. Most portfolio companies do not have marketing capability in house and cannot justify building it alone. You will run that as a service line with real revenue attached.
Underneath both halves sits the part that decides whether any of it works: disciplined project management. Multiple launches, campaigns, events, client engagements, and productions running at once, each with an owner, a deadline, a budget, and a defined outcome.
Perks & Benefits:
Competitive pay & a Comprehensive Benefits Package.
Benefits include company-paid extended health care, dental care, vision care, life insurance, critical illness, and critical life insurance.
Annual Education Allowance
Generous Referral Program
Fun & collaborative company culture with lots of team building events
Local discounts to restaurants, clothing stores, personal training, and more
Free access to a fully equipped gym
Friends and Family rates for hospitality brand
Why Onni Capital
You will not be inheriting a brand book and a content calendar. You are deciding what this brand is.
The assets available are genuinely unusual. Onni owns penthouses, hotels, restaurants, a boat, a jet, and buildings across six North American cities. Those are marketing currency for events, influencer partnerships, and content that competitors simply cannot produce. The plan already includes an Onni Capital conference in Vancouver, founder dinners, industry mixers, a podcast hosted by the executives, and flagship video series shot on location.
Marketing here has a direct commercial purpose. Brand drives deal flow. Deal flow drives the business. You will be able to trace what you build to actual transactions rather than to impressions.
And there is a business inside the function. The marketing services line has revenue targets and portfolio company clients, which means you are running a practice rather than a cost centre.
How We Work
Onni Capital is being designed as a high ownership, low bureaucracy team. We work in small project groups, test ideas quickly, put early products in front of users, and make decisions based on evidence rather than hierarchy. Team members are expected to:
Challenge assumptions and communicate directly
Take responsibility for outcomes, not simply produce recommendations
Use modern AI tools to work faster and produce better results
Share unfinished work early and improve it through feedback
Move comfortably between strategic analysis and hands on execution
Know when to continue investing in an idea and when to stop
Operate effectively without a detailed playbook
This is not a role for someone who wants months of consensus building, a rigid job description, or a narrowly defined set of responsibilities. It is for someone who learns quickly, takes initiative, enjoys solving ambiguous problems, and wants to help build something from the ground up.
What You Will Do
Own the Onni Capital brand
Own everything public facing for Onni Capital, including brand identity, positioning, messaging, and visual standards across every channel
Run the Onni Capital brand launch as a defined project, coordinating the website, social handles, press, fund announcement, internal stakeholders, dependencies, deadlines, and launch readiness
Own the Onni Capital website end to end, including build, content, launch, measurement, and ongoing development
Own press and public relations, including announcements on investments and acquisitions, media relationships, and the press release process
Approve all public facing material produced by anyone at Onni Capital. Nothing goes out without passing through this function
Events and community
Design and deliver the events programme, including the Onni Capital conference in Vancouver, founder dinners, industry mixers, panels with portfolio operators, and demo days

Build the sponsorship model, including partner firms as event sponsors and Onni's sponsorship of industry organisations
Run influencer and affiliate partnerships, using Onni's hospitality and property assets as currency
Manage the podcast and video series programme, including format, guest roster, production schedule, distribution, and performance, working with the Videographer and Content Producer
Marketing as a service
Build and sell the marketing services line to Onni portfolio companies and external clients, including campaigns, positioning, creative, digital presence, and ongoing marketing programmes
Scope engagements, define deliverables, build project plans, assign owners, set timelines, manage client expectations, and ensure work ships on time
Set the rate card with the Technology Consulting Lead and the Controller and manage every engagement to revenue and margin targets
Deliver marketing programmes for portfolio companies across construction, industrial services, technology, and data centres, each with a different audience and buying cycle
Manage multiple client engagements concurrently without allowing deadlines, quality, scope, or communication to drift

Build and own the marketing operating system across Onni Capital and Panni Consulting, using clear project plans, owners, milestones, deadlines, budgets, and measures of success

Run regular project reviews, identify blockers early, escalate decisions when required, and make sure commitments actually get completed
Coordinate work across executives, portfolio companies, internal teams, agencies, freelancers, vendors, and external partners
Prevent scope creep and unnecessary work. Projects should have a defined objective, owner, deadline, budget, and measurable outcome before significant resources are committed
Team
Manage the Videographer and Content Producer and the Social Media Manager, set the content standard, establish priorities, and build the internal creative capability
Direct the content engine so a single shoot produces material across long form video, short form, social, blog, and press
Document brand standards, campaign playbooks, project templates, and operating processes so the work is repeatable
Contribute to internal reviews, demonstrations, and Onni Capital events

Strong project management capability. You can take an ambiguous objective, turn it into a workplan, coordinate multiple contributors, manage dependencies, and get the finished work out the door on time
Evidence that you have successfully managed several substantial projects or client engagements at once without losing control of details, deadlines, budgets, or stakeholders
Strong commercial instinct. You can connect marketing activity to pipeline and revenue, and you are comfortable being measured on it
Real events capability. You have run events people actually wanted to attend, from concept through to the room being full
Content and creative judgment across video, social, written, and event formats, with the abil
