We're looking for a growthoriented marketing professional who's excited to build skills across paid media and content creation-while helping drive measurable lead generation and brand growth. In this role, you'll support our paid advertising programs (Google Search, Performance Max, Meta/social ads, and more) and contribute to content development and email campaigns that advance corporate initiatives, including distributed marketing for our local studios and areas.

This role is ideal for someone who brings curiosity, initiative, and a growth mindset-someone who thrives in a fastpaced, supportive environment where testing, learning, and optimizing are part of the daily rhythm. You'll collaborate closely with the Marketing Team, contribute to campaigns that matter, and see the direct impact of your work across our brand and studio network.

For over 75 years, Fred Astaire Dance Studios has helped people transform their lives through the joy, confidence, and connection of dance - enriching lives through dance is at the core of our mission.

As part of our team, you'll have room to experiment, build new skills, and grow your impact, with support from leadership and a clear line of sight from your work to realworld outcomes in our studios.
