At Portage Labs, we help organizations move faster with creative digital solutions powered by data, automation, and AI. We partner with ambitious teams to accelerate their go-to-market, sharpen their marketing engine, and unlock real growth.

We're looking for a full-time marketing technologist who is equally at home with people and platforms, someone ready to own client relationships, lead marketing automation strategy, and push the boundaries of what AI can do inside a modern marketing stack. This is a hybrid role (2 days in office) based in Toronto, with regular in-person collaboration and client meetings, so strong presence and interpersonal skills matter as much as technical depth.

This is a key role on our team. You won't just execute campaigns, you'll be a trusted face of Portage to our clients and a driver of how we build.

What You'll Do

Lead client engagements — serve as a primary point of contact for client marketing teams, guiding automation strategy and building trusted, senior-level relationships

Build and manage marketing campaigns across platforms like Marketo, Eloqua, AEP, and Braze

Support email, push, and in-product messaging workflows end to end

Harness AI to work smarter — use AI to optimize and automate marketing workflows, build agents to handle repetitive operational tasks, and set up MCP integrations that connect our tools and data into streamlined, intelligent pipelines

Shape customer experiences through journey mapping and lifecycle strategy

Own deliverables — driving quality, accuracy, and on-time execution across accounts

Set up dashboards and reporting to track performance and prove campaign impact

What We're Looking For

2–5 years of hands‑on marketing operations or automation experience

Marketo experience strongly preferred; familiarity with Eloqua, Braze, or AEP is a plus

Strong communication and leadership skills - confident interfacing directly with clients,



explaining technical ideas clearly, and taking ownership of relationships and outcomes

Curiosity and fluency with Artificial Intelligence (AI) - excited to use AI tools, build agents, and experiment with automation to make marketing operations faster and smarter (experience setting up MCPs or agentic workflows is a real advantage)

Confident working with data, metrics, and optimization

Proactive, detail‑oriented, and client‑focused

Based in or near Toronto, with availability for regular onsite and client meetings

Why Join Portage Labs? We're small on purpose. A tight, multidisciplinary team working with enterprise clients across industries, which means you'll move faster, own more, and see the full picture of what you're building.

In this role you'll work directly with senior marketing leaders at organizations that have real scale and real problems. You won't be handed a playbook, you'll help write one. That means first‑principles thinking, clear communication under pressure, and the kind of ownership that makes your work visible.

We take craft seriously. Clean handoffs, documented decisions, and work you'd put your name on in front of a Fortune 500 stakeholder. If that standard excites you rather than stresses you, you'll fit here.

We're also genuinely AI‑curious as a team, not as a talking point. You'll experiment, build, and occasionally break things. We close the loop quick and share what we learn. If you want to grow into a trusted client lead, sharpen your technical edge, and work alongside people who care about doing excellent work, this is the role.

AI & Our Hiring Process We use AI notetaking tools during interviews to help us stay present in the conversation. All notes are reviewed by our hiring team and all decisions are made by people. If you have questions or concerns about this, please let us know at any point.

Portage Labs is committed to an inclusive recruitment process. Accommodations are available upon request.
