• Communicate effectively and clearly.
• Be organized and an effective manager of schedules and tasks.
• Be a flexible, fun team player.

Required experience:

• A few years of work experience is ideal, but this position is open to candidates just out of college that can demonstrate the attitude and aptitude (be ready to talk data and reporting) required of the position.
• Experience in Excel or other spreadsheets (like Google Sheets). Basically, no fear of data analysis and number crunching.
• Demonstrated experience as a supportive team member who can build trust and get things done.

50-Pound Boson is a performance based ecommerce agency with a silly name, of which we are inordinately proud. Our team members pride themselves on earning respect from clients by creating value for them, and on being agile learners nimble enough to learn multiple platforms over time - whether that be Amazon, Shopify, Facebook, Google, Tiktok, or whatever new thing comes along. We believe in using data to help drive smart decisions and to identify opportunities that aren’t always obvious on the surface. We believe persistence is more important than flash, that truth should always triumph over spin, and that the recommendations we make to our clients should be the ones we would make if we owned their business.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
