Our team here at Focus Advisors is a small boutique investment bank focused on the $45 billion automotive collision repair industry. We help collision repair entrepreneurs sell their businesses, or for some others, we help them find a capital partner to grow. Very often these owners are folks who have built their careers and businesses the hard way by starting as entry-level employees and working their way to ownership, or alternatively, by taking over the family business. We feel they deserve to realize the full value of the businesses they and their families have built, which is why we do what we do. Today, our expertise is in the automotive collision repair market, but we have plans to expand to other verticals soon.

We're looking for a Marketing Analyst to help us reach these business owners. We have marketing activities that work well today, and we have invested a lot in the technologies and tools to give us an edge in our marketing effectiveness. We are looking for someone who wants to learn as much as they can about today's marketing best-practices and the tools and technologies that drive them and help us employ the right ones, while executing the marketing activities currently in our plan.

We are a small and fast-moving organization. Everyone (including this new person we hope to hire) has an opportunity to shape all parts of the business and how it evolves and grows. Although we each have primary responsibilities, we all pitch in and help each other and often have to solve problems ourselves or within the company. We’ve invested in some really great data and marketing tools. Now we need someone to help us take full advantage of them.

As a full-time Marketing Analyst, while you’re helping us win new clients with our marketing, you’re also helping our business teams with financial and project support so they can provide our current clients with excellent service. By being so connected to the team, you'll be fully immersed in the entire transaction process of an Investment Bank, and will have opportunities to build your financial acumen as well.
