• Coordinate marketing efforts including SEO contractors, promotional content, and video creation.
• Build and run outbound campaigns via email and LinkedIn as inbound capacity stabilizes.
• Pitch in on ad hoc growth and ops projects — no task is too small at this stage.

• Bachelor's degree from a competitive four-year university.
• Hands-on experience with conference, event, or field marketing execution.

Preferred

• Familiarity with CRM platforms, LinkedIn outreach, email outbound tools, and/or sales copilot software is a plus.
• Background in humanities, communications, policy, or a related field is a plus.
