The ideal candidate is both creative and analytical, with the initiative to ask questions, find answers, and keep projects moving without waiting for step‑by‑step direction.

• Experience: At least 2 years of relevant marketing experience.
• Education: A bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Communication Skills: Strong writing, editing, interviewing, and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to initiate conversations with customers and prospects by phone, email, or in person.
• Digital Marketing Knowledge: Experience with email marketing, social media, website content, and basic marketing analytics.
• Ownership and Initiative: A self‑starter who identifies opportunities, anticipates content needs, solves problems, and follows through on commitments.
• Organization: The ability to manage multiple projects, balance priorities, and meet deadlines while maintaining strong attention to detail.
• Curiosity and Adaptability: A willingness to learn EDCO’s products, understand customer applications, and translate technical information into clear, useful marketing content.

Experience with e‑commerce platforms, CRM systems, SEO, paid advertising, marketing automation, photography, video, or design tools is a plus. Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 is expected.
