we all wear many hats. Our hire will report directly
to the Digital Marketing Director and would be
responsible for tasks including, but not limited to,
photography, copy writing, gathering information and
assets, assisting with planning and organizing
social media and online marketing campaigns, and
more. The nature of the position will require some

multiple angles before being published. Creative
writing is helpful, as well as ideas for catching
our audiences’ eyes and generating interest. Most
posts will flow through the Digital Marketing
Director, prior to posting, however, Instagram and
Facebook Stories may not be. So, this person needs
to understand the importance of good grammar, clear
speech, have good taste, and also be able to
self-generate the content in the field. Basic
working knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator, HTML,
and CSS a huge plus. Some work may involve updating
websites or marketplaces, so experience with ebay,
Amazon, and basic working knowledge of Microsoft
Excel a plus. Technical proficiencies: Office
software, photography and/or illustration software,
social media, typing. Personal Traits: Candidate
should be outgoing and able to manage their time
well, while working remotely. Because of the remote
nature of much of the work, the hire will need to be
motivated, honest, and willing to be held
accountable. Must be willing to follow and
comply with current COVID-19 CDC recommendations, as
well as always wear a mask when working directly
with the Digital Marketing Director.
