OVERVIEW :
Nugget®, a direct-to-consumer kids furniture brand, is looking for an experienced Part-Time Marketing PM Contractor to manage the day-to-day operations and project trackers of the Marketing and Creative Services departments to ensure our team is all on the same page and operating efficiently to meet our deadlines and goals! We're looking for someone who is excited to roll up their sleeves, help us improve our cross-functional processes, increase efficiency, manage our resources, and support our team. If you have experience as a Department Coordinator or Project Manager for a Marketing / Creative team in a fast-paced environment and are looking for the next step in your career - we'd love for you to apply!
What is Nugget? We are an industry-leading, fun-loving, direct-to-consumer Play company (est. 2014) that brings homes to life with bold play and big imaginations. We design, develop, manufacture, sell, and ship our part-toy, part-furniture products (The Nugget® - The Original Play Couch® - and Chunk™ - The World's First Play Ottoman) with a team of ~100 Nuggeteers in Butner, North Carolina (just outside of Durham) and Atlanta, GA. And we're just getting started — in both 2020 and 2021, Inc. Magazine named us the fastest-growing manufacturing company in the United States, and we have new stuff up our sleeves. We're proud to continue the industrial legacy of North Carolina, and to make fun furniture for future astronauts, artists, architects, athletes, and – especially – active community members.
ABOUT THIS ROLE :
- You'll be the pivotal bridge between Nugget's Marketing and Creative Services departments, combining timelines and workflows between the two teams and maintaining operational efficiency for the department and its individual team members
- You'll be responsible for managing Nugget's campaign project timelines – tracking specific due dates that are required for us to hit delivery goals, tracking progress towards those goals, and continuously communicating with team members to ensure success in meeting deadlines
- You'll proactively check-in with team members on their progress towards individual deadlines and goals – flagging any possible issues and recommending how to adjust
- You'll verify that deliverables are completed and submitted based on our current system of organization, so that the Marketing team knows where to find what they need
- You'll create intentional department meeting agendas to ensure team meetings are efficient, purposeful, and productive, take and own post-meeting follow up notes with next steps outlined and delegated
- You'll own, maintain, and update the team's Marketing Calendar, proactively identifying changes or updates and seeking information from key stakeholders when needed to ensure the Marketing Calendar is the "ultimate source of truth"
- You'll partner with Marketing and Creative Leadership to develop timelines based on our 12-month strategic Marketing plan – ensuring we have ambitious, yet realistic deadlines established for campaign management, evergreen content, website updates, and more
- You'll assist with other Marketing support tasks as needed, including but not limited to file management and / or administrative responsibilities
ABOUT YOU :
Here at Nugget we don't negotiate compensation. This comes from research that shows negotiations often result in arbitrary differences in pay – not based on differences in ability, but based on who is better at negotiating. For that reason, we like to offer the amount upfront that we believe is fair for the job, rather than offer a lower amount that builds in the expectation for negotiating. To add a bit more context, our process is centered in industry data, which factors in our stage / size of company, job classification, experience and skill, to make sure that we have fair and transparent numbers for our regional market.
Equal opportunity :
Nugget is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and will consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital or family status, disability, gender identity or expression, veteran status, actual or presumed belonging to an ethnic group, or any other legally protected status. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know.
Salary : $51 - $58
