What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing Associate position at Blumaka?
Marketing Associate – Blumaka
Blumaka is a performance insole brand used by 1,000 professional athletes across the NFL, MLB, NBA, and beyond. We're a small, high-output team — which means this role has real ownership and real visibility.
This is a full-time, in-person role based in Santa Barbara, CA. We're looking for a hungry entry-level candidate who wants to build something real — someone who executes across content, design, and affiliate, moves fast, takes ownership, and doesn't wait to be told what to do. Competitive entry-level compensation.
The Role
You'll report directly to the Marketing Manager and own execution across four areas:
Content & Social Shoot, edit, and publish content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Adapt content per platform — not one-size-fits-all. You're always thinking about content ideas and shoots.
Design & Creative Produce creatives, email graphics, website visuals, Amazon listings, and marketing collateral in-house. Fast turnaround, consistent brand identity.
Affiliate & Email Own the affiliate program end-to-end — outreach, onboarding, product education, links, and monthly payouts. Send 2 email campaigns per week via Klaviyo, aligned with the content calendar and active promotions.
Website & SEO Make weekly updates to Shopify — product pages, conversion testing, bug fixes. Publish regular blog content to support organic growth.
Who You Are
- You take ownership without needing perfect direction
- You're creative and operational — you can both think and build systems
- You communicate clearly and are responsive
- You use good judgment on where to spend your time
Experience & Education 0–2 years of experience in marketing, content, or a related field. A degree in marketing, communications, or similar is a plus — but not required.
Tools Shopify, Klaviyo, Photoshop/Illustrator, Meta. Comfortable picking up new tools quickly.
What This Role Is Not This is not a strategy role. Brand direction, paid ads, and performance reporting stay with leadership. You focus on execution — high volume, high quality, every day. There is room to grow into broader ownership as you get up to speed.
Growth This role is a launching pad. As you prove yourself, there's a real path toward more strategic ownership — and we'd rather promote from within than hire from outside.
What Success Looks Like
- Consistent, high-quality content going out every day
- Brand feels cohesive across every channel
- Affiliates are engaged and growing
- Website is always improving
- You're planning ahead, not playing catch up
