100+ Marketing & Communications Jobs in Raleigh, NC

Observed local government wage data suggests a split market. On the specialist side of this category, Raleigh-Cary's 2025 BLS median was $78,980, with 25th-75th percentile pay from $59,640 to $111,720. On the manager side, the local median was $167,640, with 25th-75th percentile pay from $129,860 to $213,930.

What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

Raleigh-Cary is a workable but competitive market for marketing, communications, and content roles right now. Overall metro unemployment was 3.1% in August 2026, total nonfarm employment was up 2.2338% year over year, and professional and business services jobs were up 2.9566%, which supports continued employer activity. But this is not an easy generalist market: we observed more than 175 postings across more than 125 companies over the last 90 days, the employer base is fragmented, and only about 10% of openings were remote. The best odds sit with candidates who can show measurable demand generation, analytics, stakeholder management, and AI-assisted execution rather than brand-only experience.

Best positioned: The strongest profile is a mid-career marketer who can work across project management, data analysis, strategic planning, and content or digital execution, especially for software or healthcare employers.

Main caution: The biggest mistake is assuming Raleigh's healthy economy makes this an easy marketing market; local information employment was down -6.7194% year over year, and remote roles are only about 10% of the sample.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is concentrated in employer types that can justify measurable growth or reputation work, not in pure brand-generalist seats. In the recent local sample, software development accounted for about 30% of marketing, communications, and content openings and healthcare for about 20%, followed by advertising services, IT services and IT consulting, and hospitals and health care at about 10% each. That lines up with the broader metro economy: Raleigh-Cary professional and business services employment was 156.7 thousand in August 2026, up 2.9566% year over year. The demand picture is broad rather than winner-take-all. We observed more than 175 postings across more than 125 companies over the last 90 days, hiring is fragmented across employers, and the most consistently active names in the sample included Epic Games, MaintainX, Bertelsmann, Extreme Networks, Riverty, Kidde Global Solutions, Platinum Coastal Group, and DigitalMarketingJobs.org, each at around five postings. That fragmentation is good news if you are willing to target a narrow problem set, because fewer openings are locked inside one or two dominant local brands. There is also a real agency and services pocket in the metro. Raleigh-based Sokal added Stellantis and Nissan OEM certifications in September 2026 and describes in-house capabilities spanning paid search and social, programmatic display, connected TV, SEO, websites, creative, video, and digital content, which is a useful signal that integrated channel execution still matters locally.

• Software and SaaS employers (high): This is the biggest local slice of demand, and it tends to reward marketers who can connect product, content, lifecycle, and analytics work to growth outcomes.
• Healthcare and hospital systems (high): A large local share of openings sits here, with good fit for communicators who can handle stakeholder-heavy messaging, education content, and regulated audience journeys.
• Agencies and advertising services (moderate): Smaller than software or healthcare, but still real. It favors multi-channel operators who can work across paid media, SEO, web, video, and content production.
• IT services and consulting (moderate): Good fit for candidates who can turn technical offerings into market research, case studies, webinars, and stakeholder-ready messaging.

Where to focus: Focus first on software and healthcare employers that need measurable growth or product-adoption work, then use agency roles as a skill accelerator rather than your only lane.

Roles worth searching next

• Business Analyst: Local marketing openings emphasize data analysis, market research, and strategic planning, which overlap heavily with analyst work.
• Project Coordinator or Program Coordinator: Project management is the most requested hard skill in the local sample, so campaign-ops experience can transfer well.
• Product Manager: Software is the biggest local hiring segment, and marketers who already work with customer insight, messaging, and cross-functional launches can sometimes pivot into product roles.
• Operations Analyst: Stakeholder management, planning, reporting, and process discipline show up repeatedly in the local skill mix.

What postings ask for

• AI fluency and AI-output evaluation (table_stakes | immediate): In October 2026, 38.7% of U.S. marketing job postings asked for AI skills, rising to 43.7% for director-level roles, and the AMA says AI fluency is becoming baseline rather than a differentiator. Who: Everyone, but especially mid-career candidates and managers.
• Data analysis and data literacy (table_stakes | immediate): Data analysis appears in about 15% of local postings, and outside guidance treats data literacy as table-stakes for marketers in 2026. Who: Entry-level candidates who need credibility and career switchers who need a hard-skill bridge.
• Project management (differentiator | immediate): Project management is the single most requested hard skill in the local sample at about 25% of postings, which tells you employers want marketers who can coordinate work, not just generate ideas. Who: Mid-career candidates and coordinators trying to move up.
• Strategic planning and stakeholder management (premium | near-term): Local postings call for strategic planning in about 15% of cases and stakeholder management in about 10%, while national marketing research says senior and strategic roles are holding steadier than execution-only roles. Who: Mid-career candidates aiming for manager-level pay.
• Market research and audience insight (differentiator | near-term): Market research shows up in about 10% of local postings and helps candidates prove they can inform decisions, not just produce assets. Who: Specialists, switchers from analyst backgrounds, and anyone targeting product or lifecycle work.
• Privacy, consent, and first-party data compliance (differentiator | near-term): Privacy-led marketing is increasingly important in 2026 because marketers need to work within consent, data minimization, and transparent practices. Who: CRM, lifecycle, paid-media, and content candidates working with customer data.
