We’re Hiring!
MARKETING COORDINATOR
Hey, we’re looking for someone great to come be our Marketing Coordinator. We teach comedy classes, produce comedy shows, run workshops for other businesses and other comedy stuff.
As Marketing Coordinator, you’d handle a lot of our communication to the public. Creating designs, crafting posts, and delivering the good word about Blind Tiger Comedy on all kinds of different fronts.
The Marketing Coordinator reports to the Artistic Director. This is a part-time, mostly-remote job that will flex to the skill set and work world of the right applicant. We want to make this a great part of your working life, and for you to be a great part of ours.
Us
Blind Tiger Comedy is comedy company that is committed to fostering a hilarious, inclusive community. Learn more about our us here and our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion programming here. We run improv, sketch and stand up shows and classes, and our faculty are some of the most exciting and experienced comedians in the country.
Our mission is to:
– Create and deliver outstanding comedy shows and training;
– Welcome folks who are traditionally under-represented in comedy into training and performing, and reduce barriers for those folks to participate; and
– Pay comedians and our admin team professional, competitive wages.
The land we live, gather and perform comedy on is the traditional, ancestral, unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful to be here.
How you’ll spend your time
This role is all about managing our marketing activities. Some tasks are routine and weekly, but many vary significantly week to week and month to month as we move through different parts of our calendar and respond to what our community is up to. Your work will include:
– Assisting with the company’s marketing plan, and executing that plan on all fronts, from updating the website, to crafting messaging, to building and delivering paid advertising campaigns;
– Managing our social media accounts (we tend to post when it suits us rather than on a strict daily schedule, for example);
– Creating fun, refined graphic designs for our various shows, classes and initiatives. If you have the skills: shooting and cutting the occasional promotional video;
– Crafting marketing copy across several platforms: our website, for our email list, and for events postings;
– Occasionally attend BTC live events and creating content that captures their fun;
– Assisting the Artistic Director with marketing and communications initiatives as needed; and
– Playing well with others! Our company is founded on comedy, and we expect a positive, playful attitude from everyone who works with us and represents us, internally and externally. In short, come ready to collaborate and riff!
What we’re looking for:
– Someone with experience in marketing, the arts, and where those two worlds meet.
– Someone who is an exceptional, fun communicator, in person and in writing.
– Someone who has run successful social media campaigns beyond their own, for months or years at a time (please link these particularly in your application).
– Someone with a strong attention to detail, who can manage their own projects on schedule and with agility.
– Someone who is a comedian, artist, and/or fan of comedy. Experience producing your own shows a plus!
– Someone who is confident creating cool, fun graphic design without using AI.
– Someone in Vancouver. This is a remote position almost all of the time but there will be moments we’d love you to capture an event or meet with us in person!
– Someone new. Whether you identify with all of the points above or not, get at us. We are interested in new voices and happy to customize this position to the right person.
What we can offer
Compensation
Regular part-time position, 20-25 hours per month (not per week!) at $21-23/hour based on qualifications and experience. This role typically has a 3-hour standard workload a week, with project work that can be flexed around your schedule and makes up the remaining 9-13 hours a month.
Your hourly wage can be invoiced for cash dollars or for class credit at $30/hour.
Mentorship
Artistic Director Tom Hill and our 16-strong faculty of professional comedians have had long careers in comedy, producing and hustling in various ways. We imagine there are a few things you could learn from us and vice versa. We’re also committed to internal development for us and for you – we’re all going to keep getting better, together.
Apply
Interested? Email your CV and a cover letter outlining why you think Blind Tiger Comedy and this position might be a good fit for you to tom@blindtigercomedy.ca.
