Marketing Coordinator Jobs in Michigan

Travelin' Tom's Coffee of Jackson is a growing, family-owned mobile coffee business serving schools, businesses, community events, festivals, and private events throughout Southern Michigan.

We're looking for a Marketing & Community Relations Coordinator to help us grow our relationships, find new opportunities, keep up with existing clients, and take ownership of some of the marketing and outreach that comes with a growing business.

This is not primarily a social media position.

While social media and content creation will be part of the job, we're specifically looking for someone who is comfortable reaching out to people, starting conversations, following up, and building relationships.

If your idea of marketing is mainly creating graphics and posting on Facebook or Instagram, this probably isn't the right position for you.

What you'll actually be doing

You'll work directly with the owners and help with things like:

• Reaching out to local businesses, schools and organizations to introduce Travelin' Tom's and generate new bookings
• Following up with leads and previous customers
• Developing relationships with event coordinators, HR departments, schools and community organizations
• Helping fill open dates on our event calendar
• Identifying new events, partnerships and sales opportunities
• Keeping track of leads, conversations and follow-ups
• Helping manage incoming event inquiries and scheduling
• Creating and scheduling social media content
• Promoting upcoming locations, specials and events
• Developing simple email campaigns and other marketing materials
• Helping brainstorm promotions and creative ways to grow the business

The person we're looking for

We're looking for someone who takes initiative.

You should be comfortable sending the first email, making a phone call, introducing yourself to someone you don't know, and following up when someone doesn't respond.

We're not looking for someone who needs a detailed task list every time they work. We want someone who can be given a goal like "We have four open weekdays next month and want to book hosted coffee events" and start figuring out how to make that happen.

You don't necessarily need a marketing degree or a traditional marketing background. Experience in sales, event planning, community relations, hospitality, fundraising, client relations, administrative coordination, business development or similar work may be just as valuable to us.

You should be organized, personable, comfortable communicating professionally and genuinely enjoy building relationships with people.

Experience we'd love to see

Experience with some combination of social media management, email marketing, Canva or similar design software, customer relationship management, sales/outreach, event coordination, or community engagement is a plus.

More importantly, we're looking for someone who can show us what they've actually done and how they've helped an organization, business or project grow.

About the position

This will start as a very part-time position with flexible hours, with much of the work able to be done remotely. There will occasionally be opportunities to meet with us, see the truck in operation, attend events or interact with clients in person.

We're a small family-owned business, so this isn't a traditional corporate marketing position. You'll be working directly with the owners and will have quite a bit of opportunity to bring your own ideas to the table.

For the right person, we'd love for this position to grow as the business grows.

Pay: $18.00 - $22.00 per hour

Expected hours: 6.0 – 10.0 per week

Benefits:

• Flexible schedule

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Addison, MI 49220
