The Markens Group is hiring a Marketing & Project Coordinator to join our team of detail-oriented, flexible high-achievers! We’re an agency-style association management company that helps national and local trade associations, professional societies, and other member organizations build community and achieve their goals. We work hard, and we like to laugh, too.

What you’ll do as Marketing & Project Coordinator

As the Marketing and Project Coordinator, you will collaborate with many team members to support various projects across our diverse client list. Your efforts will help achieve our association clients' unique goals – including member engagement, event attendance, and education around key industry issues. Every day will be a little different, and you’ll be able to tap into many different skills!

The Ideal Candidate

You are a motivated marketing professional and eager for opportunities to show off your skills and learn new things. You may feel stuck in a dull role or underutilized, and seek a workplace where your contributions, creative problem-solving, and ideas are valued and appreciated. You consider yourself an independent self-starter who thrives in a supportive, collaborative, and fun workplace.

Our Culture

Our environment is high-energy, fast-paced, quirky, and has a good sense of humor. TMG has a no-blame culture; we care about improving and getting the job done. We have a strong team dynamic steered by our fundamental behaviors. We cultivate an atmosphere where teammates are open to learning, growing, and receiving constructive criticism. We’re supporting multiple projects for a wide variety of member-driven organizations concurrently. That means that priorities may shift with little notice, and we’ll look for you to be flexible while maintaining high attention to detail and professional composure.

We care about the community, and every teammate can volunteer up to eight hours per month during work time. We’re also certified as a Great Place to Work —and it shows!
