Are you someone who naturally looks at a system and sees how it could work better?
Do you find yourself questioning performance, identifying gaps, and thinking through how marketing, sales, and data connect?
ATRIUM is looking for a Marketing Systems Engineer—someone who doesn’t just review performance, but actively improves it.
This is not an account management role.
This is not a reporting role.
This is a strategic, system-focused role designed to help clients understand, refine, and expand their marketing programs through structured thinking and data-driven insight.
About ATRIUM
ATRIUM is a digital marketing agency focused on engineering consistent marketing performance.
We operate on the belief that marketing is not a collection of tactics—it is a system. One that must be structured, measured, and continuously improved to produce reliable results.
Our approach, Marketing Systems Engineering (MSE), connects Inputs, Routines, Platforms, and Outputs into a unified framework. This allows us to move beyond isolated campaigns and build marketing engines that generate predictable growth.
Our team works across disciplines, including search marketing, online advertising, social media, CRO, content, and web development—ensuring every part of a client’s system is aligned and working together.
With offices in Edmonton, Vancouver, Reno, and Sacramento, we support organizations across multiple industries that are looking for clarity, structure, and measurable performance from their marketing.
Most marketing fails because it lacks structure.
We exist to fix that.
