We are looking for a motivated marketing student who wants real-world experience building sales channels and growing a small business. This is an ideal opportunity for a 3rd or 4th year marketing student looking to develop hands-on experience in e-commerce, digital marketing, SEO, and brand growth.
Position Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented and self-motivated individual to help manage and grow our Etsy, Pinterest, and Houzz presence. This role is focused on generating leads, increasing visibility, and driving sales through digital channels.
Set up, manage, and take ownership of our Etsy, Pinterest, and Houzz platforms, developing them into high-performing sales, lead generation, and brand awareness channels that contribute directly to business growth.
Develop and optimize product listings, content, and customer-facing messaging to maximize visibility, engagement, and conversions.
Research customer behavior, industry trends, and competitive opportunities to identify new ways to grow traffic, leads, and revenue.
Implement SEO and keyword strategies that improve discoverability across Etsy, Pinterest, Houzz, and search platforms.

Explore new sales channels, partnerships, and marketing opportunities that can support future growth.
Support lead generation, customer acquisition, email marketing, and customer retention initiatives.
Work directly with the owners to help establish and execute marketing strategies that drive measurable business results.
What Success Looks Like
This is not a task-based role. We are looking for someone who wants to apply what they are learning in the classroom to real-world business challenges, contribute ideas, take ownership, and help build successful marketing and sales channels from the ground up. The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, data-driven, creative, and excited by the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while directly contributing to the growth and success of a growing business.
You will have ownership of projects, measurable goals, and the opportunity to directly impact business growth. While this is primarily a remote position, candidates must be based in Orange County or the surrounding area and available for occasional in-person meetings, planning sessions, content reviews, and product photography coordination.
