THIS IS AN UNPAID, REMOTE NONPROFIT STARTUP VOLUNTEER ROLE.
Read carefully before applying.
Background:
Pitch Labs, a 501(c)3 non-profit, works to inspire, educate, and mentor aspiring entrepreneurs to build their first business. Obtaining knowledge to be a successful business founder can be financially costly and energy draining. Our 100% volunteer run nonprofit works to provide free resources online in the form of an ‘how-to’ library, a community of entrepreneurs, and events. We hope to create a world where everyone feels empowered to innovate.
How this Role ties into Our Mission & What We Need:
As we work to create content to promote the learning of young entrepreneurs, we recognize our need for specific and directed marketing efforts. We are targeting the ‘Aspiring Entrepreneur Student Support Circle’ - think teachers with curriculum, local small business owners for mentorship, etc. We are also trying to create content directly targeted at Aspiring High School entrepreneurs.
Our multi-stakeholder approach requires a robust marketing strategy that can effectively reach and engage every group. We are looking for a Director of Marketing who can effectively lead a team of graphic designers, copywriters, ads specialists, etc. (For reference, the Marketing team is split up into four groups right now: Social Media, Google Ads, Newsletter, and UI/UX. Each group has/will have its own lead.).
