Marketing and Sales Assistant

About The Dirt Company We think big and we act small. We believe in treading softly and slowly for long term, positive change. Lightening the load, if you will. Sorry, we clearly love oxymorons and puns. We are serious about business, though. We deliver pure and powerful laundry products, in refill packs that can be reused and sent to our customers for a second, third, fourth and fifth life. We’re so serious about it, that in March this year, more than 52% of our refill packs were not on their first journey. 

What we do matters… and now, we’re now looking to expand our impact. 

We’re on the hunt for a marketing and sales assistant, who can help us across various online and offline marketing activities. This is a great opportunity for someone who has a baseline understanding of marketing, and is looking to expand their skill set further. Our ideal candidate is equally excited by our campaign creative concepts as they are about bringing them to life. Someone with total faith in their executional skills - who is not afraid to get out there and ask questions, revise ideas and strategies and keep going until the work is something we’re all very proud of.
