  • Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to build relationships and collaborate across teams.
  • Experience managing social media platforms (Meta Business Suite) and creating digital content (Canva, Mailchimp).
  • Ability to manage multiple projects with attention to detail and follow-through.
  • Work full-time from our office in West Des Moines, Iowa.
  • Willingness to travel (mostly in-state), work weekends (approximately 6 annually, including overnight stays), and evenings (approximately 12-15 per year).
  • Valid driver's license required. Company vehicle provided.
