MARKETING ASSOCIATE

Company Description: Welcome to Funovation, where we create heart-pounding addictive attractions that require brain & brawn! Four of us founded this creative company to design, manufacture, market and install amusement attractions based on cool ideas that would be fun to try.  We create products that are Fun, Innovative, Safe and High-quality.  The first line of attractions is the Laser Maze Challenge™.  This is an attraction that sets up a web of lasers and times participants navigating their way through them.  For example, imagine being a jewel thief having to navigate through a web of lasers to capture a priceless jewel and then returning through the maze to safety and pressing a button at the end, determining your time.

Background of Position: The Marketing Associate will be responsible for coordinating and managing marketing collateral, Funovation’s web presence, direct marketing campaigns and lead Funovation’s overall image and positioning in the marketplace. The Marketing Associate will work directly with the VP Sales & Marketing in determining the marketing strategy and plan and executing on that plan.

Attitude: Most important! A “can do” attitude is a must. One who relishes a new challenge and is inspired and excited to “own” their work and do whatever it takes to deliver the determined results/deliverables.

Teamwork: The Marketing Associate must “play well in the sandbox”. He/She will interact with all areas of the company in order to accomplish the determined goals.

Required Skills:

1. Excellent communication skills. This is such an ambiguous statement, but one that honors and respects open, clear, timely, courteous and honest communications.
2. Excellent organizational skills. Especially since we are in a high growth stage of the company, the ability to process and organize many activities will be critical.
3. The “creative flair”. Many projects will be developed in-house and a design background will be very helpful.
4. A strong computer background. Many software programs will be utilized when executing the marketing plan. Programs such as AI, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and others will be used. Competent knowledge and confidence here will be important.
5. Excellent project management skills. The ability to break-down an overall goal into key tasks and delivering results in a timely manner will be essential.
6. A comfortable multi-tasker. As with most early stage, fast-growing company, many side projects will arise that will be important to the completion of a goal. The Marketing Associate must be able to handle multiple projects simultaneously and relish the variety!
7. To have fun. A key skill required to be a part of the Funovation team. We all work our tails off, but we sure do enjoy the ride! The Marketing Associate must buy into this vision.

Background: Ideal candidate enjoys working in a fast-paced and varied environment. He/She relishes new challenges and takes pride in owning his/her work and delivering quality results. 3-5 years marketing experience would be helpful but end of the day, it’s all about a positive attitude, the “fire in the belly” to accomplish determined goals and the ambition & excitement to be a part of something special.

Compensation: To be determined
