Location: Wichita, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri
Employment Type: Full-Time, W-2 Employee
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

About the Role
PETRA is seeking a Growth & Marketing Manager to lead our in-house marketing function and help drive business development, investor engagement, and long-term brand growth.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can think strategically and execute independently. You will work directly with company leadership to develop campaigns, produce content, improve marketing systems, support capital-raising efforts, and create tools that help generate meaningful business opportunities.
This is not an agency-management position. The person in this role will personally create and deliver the work, using AI and other technology to move quickly, improve quality, and increase efficiency. Success will not be measured simply by the number of posts, emails, or brochures produced; it will be measured by stronger relationships, qualified leads, better marketing systems, increased visibility, and meaningful contributions to PETRA's growth.
