Job description

The Digital Marketing Specialist supports The Shared Environment, a thoughtfully curated

multi-seller platform dedicated to authentic Montessori materials, furniture, and learning

resources. The Digital Marketing Specialist’s goal is to help increase qualified traffic, improve

conversion rates, strengthen brand awareness, and support consistent marketing execution.

This is a remote, hands-on marketing role for someone who enjoys a mix of content, SEO, email

marketing, campaign design and execution, website updates, organic social, and performance

reporting. Because we’re a small, fast-moving team, the right person will be agile, collaborative,

communicative, organized, adaptable, comfortable learning new tools, and able to move work

forward across multiple priorities.

In collaboration with subject matter experts, you’ll design and execute marketing initiatives that

help sellers, practitioners, schools, and families discover, understand, and trust The Shared

Environment. This role will provide the day-to-day marketing work that drives the company’s

sales, including content creation, SEO-informed website updates, newsletters, campaign

assets, reporting, and marketing collateral for events, sponsorships, and speaking opportunities.

You do not need to be a technical SEO expert, but you should understand and enjoy SEO

fundamentals, and be comfortable applying them to content, website updates, and campaign

work.

This role is ideal for someone with 2+ years of experience who is creative, organized,

execution-oriented, and interested in growing as a marketer. Montessori training is not required,
