Career Paths: Marketing

How do I fit in?

APT’s small-company, fast-growing environment offers the opportunity to rapidly increase responsibility and be promoted. Typically, as a college graduate, you will start as a marketing analyst. Candidates with significant and relevant prior experience may start as a marketing manager. From there, APT will mentor you and provide opportunities to increase responsibilities and ownership for marketing efforts targeted to specific verticals. No two career paths at APT are exactly alike. But all share a common grounding of flexibility, individualized pacing, and responsibility. At APT, we don't believe in hierarchy as an organizing principle. Instead, we foster a culture of intellectual meritocracy. Learning and professional growth naturally follow.
