We believe the future of sun care is the future of beauty.

ABOUT THE POSITION:

We are seeking a fractional marketer to hit the ground running across digital marketing execution. With the part-time, temporary nature of this role, the focus is stabilization, not process-building.

• Build new systems, SOPs, or process documentation from scratch
• Own strategic decisions on channel mix, campaign strategy, or budget reallocation
• Take on brand or technical web work outside existing platforms
• Manage cross-functional communications (Finance/POs, PD, BD interface)

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:

• Immediately comfortable in HubSpot, Salesforce, Canva, WordPress, and Asana
• Demonstrated ability to pick up an existing calendar/process and run it without a lengthy handoff

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE:

• 2+ years in a marketing coordinator, marketing operations, or agency-side account coordinator role
• 2+ years in Beauty, Wellness, or Fashion industries
• Fractional, freelance, or agency marketing background is a plus, not a requirement
• Available to start within 1-2 weeks
