Job details:

Job Type: Full-time, fully remote, flexible hours
Base Compensation:  $24/hr, fully paid healthcare benefits. 

The ideal candidate would support Dual Wield Studio, LLC by interacting with targeted virtual communities and network users to promote our company.  We are looking for someone who can create consistent, meaningful content on all social media platforms as well as act quickly and gracefully to address concerns that may arise via social media.  This candidate will also assist with the overall marketing efforts of the company by creating and executing an approved marketing plan which factors in product launches and product lifeline support. 

In more less business terms: 

We could be doing more with social media and marketing and we know it! We’re looking to tap the expertise of someone within fandom to assist with creating marketing initiatives based on the work we do, as well as give you a chance to bring your unique voice to Dual Wield Studio. This job would be a mix of producing content on our social media channels (shouting out artists we work with! creating ads to promote cool projects we’ve worked on!) as well as developing and sustaining a social media presence long-term. This would also mean working within email marketing, assessing sales and backend information provided by Google Analytics, Shopify, and more. 

We want someone as excited about what fandom creates as we are, and we want you to help us shout about how cool it is to other people. 

You will do well in this job if promoting small creators, gassing up your friends, and supporting the products our artists create is something that excites you, but also if you are data and results driven. 

Previously, this position was listed as a part time position. We are revising this at full time with benefits.
