We are A.J. and Olivia and we have built up a portfolio of digital marketing products and a small team that needs some help, management, and marketing love.

We need someone to help us with two key things:

1. Get the word out about our member community and listing opportunities.

2. Help our members communicate with one another and get great value from our offerings.

There are more things that this role involves, and there could be more that you could get involved with depending on your interests and skills. We are interested in growing your skills, and as our work together grows, you’ll get hands-on education and we’ll also pay to make sure you are getting top-notch training.

Here are some things that you will be doing:

• Administering and moderating business and event listings and offering friendly advice

You’ll have full support from us, the Digital Marketing Manager, along with other team members and a range of SOP’s and information, you don’t need to ‘know’ everything, you just need to be interested in learning what you don't know.

Attitude is everything! We are seeking someone who is passionate, smart, creative, self-motivated and highly organized to work on a variety of online support, marketing and organizational activities. We are going to be working closely together, hopefully for a long time, so a sense of humor will go a long way.
