Marketing Assistant

Benjamin Cox and Associates (a 4-person team) runs an executive education program for a world-class university. We focus on teaching ESG and natural capital management to the extractive resources industry. We also do some consulting on the side.

We want a crackerjack marketing person to manage our social media, pitch packages, live events (primarily online), and customer acquisition. We offer a position with true work/life balance and the opportunity to work with a cool team (at least we think we are). We value diversity and see this role as perfect for someone wanting to transition back into the workforce after taking time off for family. We need about 25 hours per week, and the ideal hours are 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM PST; we can adjust for people if they have school pickup/drop off to manage.

We are willing to give two weeks of paid vacation and up to 8 weeks off. The end of July-late August is a quiet period. Similarly, we will close the office between December 15 and January 2.

The job is in Beaverton, Oregon. Unfortunately, remote work isn’t an option.

• Maintaining lead lists and making sure the MD is following up

What skills do you have? We are flexible; having the right attitude and adding to the team's diverse backgrounds is more important than ticking all the boxes. If you have some of these skills and are willing to work towards developing the others, please apply.

• Good at saying NO and understanding boundaries.

• Email marketing tools
• Basic knowledge of web development tools

What education/experience do we want you to have

• Ideally, a marketing degree, but any educational background can work
• You must be proficient in English to a college level, but we will pay for Grammarly Pro. We embrace diversity and work globally, so knowledge of other languages is a plus.
• Marketing experience would be lovely.
• CSR/ESG would be a bonus
