About The Position

We are looking for a hands-on marketer who can execute across content, social, digital campaigns, events, and PR.

Experience coordinating creative workflows with designers, content creators, agencies, or freelancers.
Familiarity with marketing, analytics, and project management tools.
Familiar with AI tools and know how to best use them in creative work.
