Marketing Coordinator (part-time, 3 month, independent contractor role)
Are you a marketing professional looking for a company where the ethics of business is just as important as messaging design and delivery? Are you interested in using your marketing skills to power civic engagement and social responsibility?
Hearken is looking for an experienced marketing professional to help us build a lightweight marketing strategy that effectively translates the insights we’re generating into compelling and useful content and collateral that can be used to attract new clients looking for similar outcomes.
Your major project during this 3-month period will be to set the strategy, content calendar, metrics and workflow for ensuring we’re consistently generating useful content for our current client base and target markets. We’ll want you to be practiced in market listening and collecting data to drive decisions on what’s working and what to change. We’re an agile team that prides itself on being responsive to changing based on what we learn, and consistently executing experiments to find what works best.
This is a three month, part-time, USA-based, remote-friendly independent contractor position. Start date is Sept. 1. Prefered deadline to apply is July 31, 2020.
