How to Apply for Marketing Assistant

at RIVET

🏢 About RIVET

RIVET is a unique social purpose brand that empowers Gen Z to drive youth-led social change through micro-funding. Unlike traditional NGOs, they combine storytelling and brand partnerships to elevate young changemakers globally, making them an innovative force in social impact. Working here means contributing to a mission that amplifies youth voices while operating at the intersection of marketing and social good.

About This Role

This Marketing Assistant role is a 50/50 split between executive support for the CMO and hands-on marketing operations. You'll be instrumental in streamlining workflows while directly contributing to campaigns that support youth-led social initiatives. Your work will directly impact how RIVET tells stories about young changemakers and manages partnerships that fund their projects.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might begin with coordinating the CMO's schedule and following up on meeting action items, then shift to updating marketing trackers for an ongoing campaign supporting youth changemakers. In the afternoon, you could be liaising with freelance creatives on asset delivery while preparing briefing documents for the CMO's external meetings with brand partners.
