Seeking a team member with strong written communication skills and background in promotional marketing and administration to join our rapidly growing young Venture Studio

Do you find yourself to be skilled and competent in multiple areas, and trying to avoid the frustration of doing the same things over and over while wishing for growth opportunities and new challenges? If so, this could potentially be the fit for you!

Rushlight Ventures is seeking an experienced professional to take on a wide variety of tasks and projects. The job duties breakdown is envisioned to be approximately:

• 35% promotional marketing execution/coordination (widely ranging from branding to tradeshows, from videos to social media)
• 35% executive assistance and office management
• 30% project management, reporting, and back-office support

This role will report to the President of Rushlight Ventures, but we operate as a team, and this role will have a voice in direction setting and decision making. While your biggest opportunity for immediate impact will be in promotional execution/coordination, the pace of work will ensure you can make a difference every day across multiple projects and task types. If you are a person that likes to take initiative, seeks out how to be most useful, and is energized by learning new things, keep reading. If you are a person who like to have their work well-defined and to execute well-defined or repetitive delegated tasks, this is probably not the job for you (but maybe a future opening will be, so keep us in mind!).

Travel should be minimal, and this role has a hybrid work setting potential.
