Communications Specialist

Communications Specialist Needed 

 

As we enter the final stages of pre-launch prep at Simulacra, we are looking to proactively line up a part-time position to assist with client-facing communications, marketing, and advertising.

The position will require roughly 10-12 hours/week initially, with the opportunity to grow into a full-time role with a wage increase commensurate with performance after a one month evaluation. If open to working on commission basis, this is also open for discussion.



Essential Qualifications: 

-Excellent writing ability

-Strong initiative

-Experience and (ideally) a proven track record of success in generating new clientele, leads, and taking cold calls from friendly introductions and casual meetups to lifelong business relationships*

-Demonstrated passion and aptitude for achieving rapid business growth and expanding visibility and reach



Preferred Qualifications (non-essential):

-CS background (major or minor)
-Communications, English, Creative Writing, or similar degree/degree track
-Professional Marketing/Advertising experience
-Familiarity with the mechanics, structure, and operations of remote work & freelance platforms (Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr, etc)


*If you are applying as an undergraduate, this is obviously an unrealistic qualification. Instead of showing a track record of nurturing and growing long-term business partnerships, share a few instances where you took initiative and achieved a similar result using communication skills and initiative--this could be in the form of successful grant writing, or sparking and fostering a professional relationship with someone you look up to but had never met before.
