Marketing Specialist

The Mill is looking for an emerging marketing leader to join our team. If you’ve been working as a solo marketer or a marketing coordinator for a few years, and you’re ready to step up to a bigger role and deepen your marketing skills, we want to talk with you!

This is a new role, working closely with our Head of Operations and Marketing to develop and execute campaigns to support The Mill’s entrepreneurial programming and our coworking membership community. You’ll work out of a gorgeous, historic building in downtown Bloomington (with some flexibility for remote work). You’ll tell inspiring stories of innovative, creative people building Bloomington’s coolest startups, and you’ll nerd out with us over marketing techniques and marketing data.

You should bring a solid understanding of marketing principles, 2-3 years of professional marketing experience, and an interest in video and content marketing. You’re an expert, continuous learner who is not afraid to try something new, and you love playing a key role in supporting a team effort. You’re creative, you enjoy a fast pace, and you want to put your marketing powers to work for something more exciting than widgets
