We’re Hiring an Assistant…

Supporting local businesses continues to be imperative to creating healthier, stronger communities and more jobs in Indiana. Indiana Originals is growing its team to better serve our members. Do you want to be a part of a mission-minded business that helps its members stand out from their national competition, find affordable resources to grow their business, and get more customers? If you answered yes, our part-time assistant position with room for growth is a great way to get started with our company.

The role is designed to assist with key elements of promoting the Indiana Originals members and brand. A background in marketing, journalism, and/or graphic design is preferred. The ideal candidate is also task-oriented, enjoys brainstorming sessions, and uses the Oxford comma. You must be extremely detail-oriented and proof-read everything. Seriously, like, everything.

Here is the job description:
