Marketing Manager

Overview

AS SEEN ON SHARK TANK!

Job Overview:

Have you seen us on Shark Tank and want to be part of the next best start up? We are looking for Spring 2023 candidates that are gritty, tenacious, adaptable, persistent – these are the adjectives that describe the very best Storage Scholars Marketing Managers. We are a quickly growing company that values both personal and professional growth for our entire team. If you thrive in fast-paced environments with a “do what it takes” philosophy, this is the place for you.

Marketing Managers are the main point of contact with the Storage Scholars executive team for all things PR, and you will learn A LOT working alongside us. You will learn how to think, act, and execute like a Director of Marketing. At the end of it all, we want you to leave us ready to be in a high-level position – THAT IS OUR GOAL.

We take smart, hard-working people, and give them the hard and soft skills needed to succeed in the business world. What does that mean? We don’t have a boring skills test you need to pass during your interview. This isn’t finance recruitment or case prep. We look for people who fit our expanding company culture and are ready to learn.

So, what does it take to be a Storage Scholar?

Job Requirements:

freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior at your university pursuing an undergraduate degree – all majors welcome to apply
an intense work ethic – we work until the job is done
a growth mindset – we want you to grow with the company
excellent problem solving skills – you must be able to think outside the box, and on your feet
exceptional communication skills – you interact with us, your customers, and your campus team constantly
a desire to learn – this role embodies “on-the-job” learning
high personal standards – everything we do is elite, and we expect your work to support that
the ability to hear and implement constructive feedback – on this team, we teach each other every single day
a high level of connectedness within your college campus – you are the boots on the ground marketing, and your campus success relies primarily on you
an outgoing personality – you will be marketing to lots of strangers!
a jump right in, can-do attitude – “I can’t” is not in our team vocabulary
Job Responsibilities:

The internship program centers around 8 weeks of highly specialized training on a learning management system. You will work through weekly modules that instruct you on all aspects of our marketing, from back-end operations to client-facing interactions. Through this, you will gain exposure to high-level information as well as specific, complex processes. The LMS modules are manageable, but fast-paced: you must be able to absorb information quickly and efficiently to be successful. You must also demonstrate a strong personal responsibility for your learning. This isn’t school. There are no grades to measure your dedication, just the success of the business.

As you go through the training program, you will take on tasks outside of the modules. You will network with students and parents, engage in tabling efforts on campus, speak to organizations and social groups, and more. You will also manage social media pages for your university’s operations. Through these activities, you will develop the ability to efficiently and effectively communicate the value proposition of our service while successfully closing sales. Each week, you and your executive team lead will meet to discuss your training and evaluate your performance based on sales metrics. These metrics will be tracked throughout the sales period on your campus. At Storage Scholars, we set goals, and then we crush them. We have full faith that your performance will be no different in this regard.

After the sales period on your campus closes, you will shift your focus from capturing customers to managing customer relationships. We are a service-based company that offers exceptionally convenient moving and storage for college students nationwide. In order to provide value to our customers, we rely on the talent of exceptional students like you. You will be tasked with back-side communication with customers as the rest of your team handles the operations. As your operations managers get items from point a to point b, you will own all client-facing tasks, whether that is calling customers with updates, monitoring all inboxes for incoming inquiries, being the liaison between the customer service team and customers, or otherwise. This experience will teach you how to maintain the brand

Sound like a lot? We know it does – and we know that the initial shock when looking at the scope of your responsibility can be overwhelming. We also know that you are capable of success in this role. We push you to success, never to defeat. Here you will shadow the life of an entrepreneur with the support of executive professionals who have walked in your shoes. In the role, you will have opportunities to connect with the highest tier of professionals (yes, the elusive C-suite). We’ve all done some or all of your role at some point, so we’re here to guide you and help you. Plus, it’s not our first rodeo. We’ve watched Marketing Manager after Marketing Manager come into this role at the same place you are and emerge with success they did not even know was possible. We are so excited for you to continue that track record of success.

So, are you ready to be our next Marketing Manager?
