Your Mission
Come at us with your wild hog energy! Multi-platform marketing campaigns, community engagement, lead generation, analytics, crushing goals––is it getting hot in here?
You’ll co-work alongside our current digital marketing manager – digital badasses, party of two! – to develop and implement data-driven strategies and creative campaigns for social media, email marketing, and innovative digital projects that’ll make overworked women pay attention and BOOK.
You’ll obsess over our brand’s voice injecting your rowdy sense of humor while conjuring content that empathizes with and celebrates the women who travel with us. Cultivating content that addresses the inner cynic and encourages a moment of all-out bravery is our secret sauce. That’s how we build instant trust from booking to boots in the dirt. So beyond selling pictures of a gorgeous trip, you will continually sell the soul and sisterhood of women’s adventure travel.
Bring on your off-the-wall, unconventional, and new ideas that your current employer is too boring to consider. We are down to experiment and get weird to smash KPIs as long as you are tracking those metrics to understand if you’re giving our Explorer Chicks what they want!
Do your conversion rates intimidate the Pope? You know that digital marketing is more than pretty pictures, endless copy, and vanity metrics. Your strategic brain maps out cross-platform sales funnels with lead nurturing workflows and automated email sequences for sh*ts and giggles. Not only can you co-conceive our next 2.6 million views viral reel, but you relish in the opportunity to capture new eyeballs from Top of Funnel content to lovingly guide them through the buyer journey and eventually to our newest booked fangirlies.
Analytics is your BFF in understanding how our Explorer Chicks find us, what content is performing, and which platforms drive them to eventually book and rebook. A/B testing and routine audits are your secret weapon in fortifying future revenue growth.
Your Day-to-Day
Developing a robust social strategy across platforms, community management of current channels (Insta, Facebook, TikTok), co-creating all organic and paid social content, planning and executing email marketing campaigns, developing lead gens, evaluating social/email performance metrics, marketing new and existing trips, promoting flash/annual sales, strategizing new ideas/collabs for growth, reporting analytics to us simpletons, and making sure we don’t look like grandmas on TikTok.
