Digital Marketing Generalist

In this growth-oriented position at SSDM, you will be trained in and immersed in a wide range of digital marketing responsibilities, all of which are designed to build a strong, well-rounded foundation. Your day will include a blend of hands-on marketing execution, client support observation (and eventually, participation), and ongoing training across multiple disciplines. As you develop, you will take on increasing ownership of projects and begin building the skillset required to become a client-facing account lead (CX) - one of the most critical roles within our agency.

This is a significant opportunity. SSDM is committed to investing in your development, exposing you to a variety of digital marketing specialties, and helping you identify where your strengths and interests align. Our intent is that, over time you will grow from supporting execution to contributing strategically across accounts.

Preferred Experience:  3 - 5 yrs

Though we will assess each individual candidate, ideal backgrounds include;

• Sales and/or sales and marketing support
• Agency internship (digital marketing agency a plus)
  
  

The most critical proven personal abilities we will look for are;

• The desire and ability to connect strongly and work effectively with others - be they team members, clients or prospective clients

• A natural tendency to be highly detail oriented
• Can juggle multiple responsibilities/projects
