• Activation Support – Assist with planning and execution of activations, including retail events, sampling programs, and grassroots/community initiatives.
• Connector Role – Act as a link between marketing, growth, creative, and external partners, ensuring smooth communication and deliverables.
• Cultural Scouting – Research trends, digital platforms, and grassroots communities to surface ideas that keep JOEY relevant and disruptive.
• Tracking & Reporting – Maintain calendars, trackers, and recaps of partnership and community activity to measure impact and support decision-making.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 3–5 years of experience in community, partnerships, or brand marketing (CPG, lifestyle, or regulated category experience is a plus).
• Familiarity with social media ecosystems, influencers, and digital community platforms.
• Strong project management skills and ability to stay organized across multiple opportunities.
• Comfortable supporting both local grassroots activations and larger-scale partnership programs.
• Hands-on, detail-oriented, and eager to learn in a fast-moving startup environment.
