Is marketing manager a stressful job?

A marketing manager's job is to promote a business, product, or service. In addition to the marketing work, marketing managers will also hire staff, build teams, strategize, manage and track budgets. In a smaller company, the marketing manager oversees everything, but roles may be split up into subsets in a larger company.

"Manager" in the title could refer to e-commerce managers, brand management, or product marketing, for example. Read job descriptions carefully to understand whether it is advertising for managing campaigns without overseeing employees or advertising a position that involves hiring and coordinating teams at a higher level of leadership.

Wherever you are working, your company depends on you to increase the sales and profitability of the company's products and services.

Because the work is collaborative and you may be overseeing multiple teams, organization skills are essential. Time management and human resource management require excellent decision-making skills and conflict resolution.

Campaigns may have tight deadlines, and the manager's job is focused on everything coming together promptly and reporting to higher levels of management, taking the heat for any delays or mistakes.
