So, Are We a Match?

We are if you’re a proud recipient of a Bachelor’s Degree or higher with 1-3 years of experience in marketing and communications, a positive attitude, a demonstrated work ethic, and a passion for learning. We are if you’re open to handling a wide range of marketing and communications responsibilities; are highly organized, detail-oriented, comfortable handling multiple high-priority tasks, and capable of interacting effectively with high-level/senior leadership; and can write well and present ideas and opinions with clarity and poise.

Though all applicants are welcome to apply, we give special consideration to candidates who have a demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit, are digital marketing or graphic/web design majors, have experience designing in Adobe Creative Suite, and have experience with platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Looker Studio, Google Search Console, Semrush, Meta Ads, Reddit Ads, or other digital services.
