Qualifications:

• Proven experience in digital marketing, social media management, or brand development
• Strong design skills using Canva or similar tools for creating visual content
• Familiarity with email marketing platforms and marketing automation tools
• Experience with website management and updates (preferably Wix or similar platforms)
• Ability to plan and execute both online and in-person marketing events
• Comfortable supporting marketing for multiple programs: VBA Connect, VBA Creatives, and Member Consultant events
• Available to contribute 6–10 hours per week
• Willing to serve in an unpaid capacity until funding allows for compensation
• Location: Preference for candidates based in Missouri, but open to exceptional out-of-state applicants

What You'll Gain:

• Executive-level experience managing and building a full-scale marketing strategy for a growing organization
• Strategic input on the brand voice, community growth, and program positioning
• First consideration for future paid marketing leadership roles, including a salaried Marketing Director or CMO position
• Visibility and influence as part of VBA’s core leadership team
• Access to a VBAspire email address, VBA ID card (at no cost), and select non-monetary benefits
• Inclusion in company-wide strategy sessions, team decisions, and long-term planning
• The opportunity to build a portfolio of work that spans multiple brands and initiatives, from community engagement to creative support
