About the Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Assistant who is energetic, organized, and comfortable working with social media content — especially short-form photo and video.

This role is ideal for someone early in their creative or marketing career who enjoys being behind and occasionally in front of the camera, and who is excited to support and learn under the guidance of an experienced Brand Manager.

No professional marketing experience is required. Curiosity, reliability, and willingness to learn are more important than polish.

• Assist with social media content and schedule (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook)
• Draft captions and short-form content using provided brand tone guidelines
• Help capture photo and video content during product use, events, or testing
• Appear in photos/videos to help demonstrate products or lifestyle use
• Monitor and respond to comments and messages using provided templates
• Repurpose content across platforms, collaborate with other channels for growth
• Assist with weekly email newsletter setup and scheduling
• Help update online store content and product listings
• Keep content calendars and assets organized

Gain Real World Experience

• How brand voice and tone are developed and maintained in a multi-brand setting
• How social media supports product sales and company growth
• How content is planned, approved, and measured
• How a small outdoor brand balances authenticity and consistency
• Exposure to product launches, merchandising, and lifestyle branding

What We’re Looking For

• Current student or recent graduate (marketing, communications, design, related)
• Comfortable using social media regularly, especially Instagram and TikTok
• Comfortable appearing in photos or videos in a professional outdoor brand context
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Organized, dependable, and open to feedback
• Genuine interest in outdoor, adventure, or lifestyle brands

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Canva
• Basic experience, or interest in learning Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, etc.)
• Experience creating content for personal, school, or club social media accounts
• Comfort working outdoors around camper trailers and overland gear

Why This Role Is a Good Fit

• Flexible schedule that works around classes
• Real, portfolio-worthy experience
• Direct mentorship from an experienced Brand Manager
• Hands-on involvement with an outdoor lifestyle brand
• Opportunity to grow skills and responsibilities over time
• Supportive, small-team environment
