Marketing Manager

Description: MORE THAN A JOB. A CAREER THAT CHANGES LIVES

160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school in the country—14 years strong, with 90+ locations across 32 states, and roughly 20,000 students earning their commercial driver's license with us every year. We graduate at an 80%+ first-time pass rate because we take the work personally.

Behind every one of those graduates is a working adult who chose to bet on themselves—a parent looking for stable income, a veteran starting a second career, or a worker pivoting out of an industry that was no longer hiring. They picked up the phone, called us, and someone on the other end treated their question like it mattered.

Every one of those students found us somewhere first—a search result, a video, a social post, a sign on a yard fence, or our name on the side of a truck. Marketing is how the next 20,000 students find us. It's how a national brand shows up consistently across 90+ locations and on every screen where someone is deciding to change their life.

This is a role for a builder—a hands-on marketer who brings ideas, takes ownership, and wants to grow alongside an ambitious marketing organization.
