Job Location:
This will be a Remote position. You will have access to a free shared membership at any Akin Studio location that has shared membership options or 50% off a dedicated studio rental of your choice. Remote Gallery is also accessible as a space to work from when it is not in use.

Introduction:
Hi, I’m Laura Kay Keeling and I support Strategic Initiatives at Akin and am also the Gallery Manager at Remote. I’m a visual artist, and joined Akin as a Studio Member in 2016. One of the things that drew me to Akin’s studios is the amazing community that I’m thrilled to still be a part of. I’m currently looking for a part-time Marketing Specialist to join our team to help guide Akin’s marketing efforts at a broader level than we’re used to.

As the Marketing Specialist, you will have experience with marketing, social media, and the development of brand-identity and customer relationship strategies. You should be a good communicator and work well with a team, with a passion for community building and outreach. Being able to guide long term strategies while at the same time managing the day-to-day will be an asset. It would be great if you’ve worked remotely before and understand the importance of project management and collaboration. You will work closely with and be supported by the Marketing Committee, Programming Committee, Programming Manager/Specialist (a future hire), Erin Candela (Lead Programming Coordinator), Jen Pilles (Studio Operations Manager), and Emily Gong (Senior Development Associate) and will report to Akin’s Director Oliver Pauk and to Akin’s Board of Directors.
