About The Position

Baum's Boots & More is a locally owned work and western footwear and apparel retailer with stores in Richmond and Somerset, Kentucky, as well as a growing e-commerce business. We're looking for an outgoing, creative and self-motivated Community & Content Coordinator to help us become more visible both online and throughout the communities we serve. This is not a traditional desk marketing position. We want someone who enjoys being out in the community, meeting people, creating relationships, attending events and finding opportunities to put Baum's Boots in front of new customers. At the same time, this person will help create a steady stream of fresh, authentic social media content from our stores, employees, products, customers and community involvement. We are looking for someone who sees opportunities and takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do next.

Comfortable taking photos and shooting/editing short-form video.
Familiar with platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

Comfortable making phone calls and reaching out to businesses and organizations.
Able to work independently without needing constant direction.
Someone who notices opportunities and follows through on them.
Available during weekday business hours when community organizations and businesses are operating.
Able and willing to regularly travel between Richmond and Somerset.
