Marketing Administrative Assistant
(Part-TimE)
Impressions Marketing and Events seeks a part-time Marketing Assistant to perform a variety of marketing, administrative, customer service, and event tasks. If you love writing, organization, details and ensuring the best customer experience, this may be the position for you. We need an action-oriented person to join our team who is ready to jump in and get to work.
A great deal of our work is with nonprofit and education-based organizations. If making a difference in the world through your work doesn’t excite you, this may not be the opportunity for you.
The top five skills required to be a successful team member in this role are effective communication, writing, editing, organization and a positive attitude.
At Impressions, we help organizations fill marketing and event resource gaps while building meaningful community connections. We thrive on helping our clients make an impact and achieve their goals.
This is a part-time role of approximately 20 hours per week. The bulk of the work should be completed during a standard work day. Our hope is to grow a solid team, so someone who is interested in maintaining a part-time schedule to support their work-life balance would be a great long term fit for our team.
Note: We are looking for someone who is interested in joining our team for the long-haul. If you see this as a passthrough position where you would stay for a few months, please do not apply.
