Senior Marketer
WHAT WE DO is a curious, ambitious, and socially engaged theater company. Driven by a deep love of theater, we create multidisciplinary projects that make important issues tangible and open to discussion. These include topics such as poverty, healthcare, the justice system, and public perception—always approached from a variety of perspectives.
We’re looking for an experienced marketer who can help convey these stories to a wide audience. Someone who combines strategy with execution, knows how to reach and engage audiences, and fits well into a small, dedicated team that sets the course together. Does this sound like you? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
