  • 0–5 years of experience in PR, event marketing, customer-facing roles, or similar

  • Willingness to work in-person at events, trade shows, and activations

  • Strong interpersonal and organizational skills

  • Experience with nonprofit or mission-driven campaigns a plus (but not required)

  • Rapid growth potential into team leadership and campaign management
