Marketing & Customer Engagement Associate

A Strong Start Can Change the Direction of Your Career.

RVA Edge is looking for motivated individuals in Richmond and the surrounding areas who are ready to step into a professional environment, learn new skills, and gain experience that can open doors for what comes next.

The Marketing & Customer Engagement Associate position is built around learning. You’ll be introduced to the day-to-day side of marketing, customer engagement, sales, and business development while working directly with customers and clients. Instead of requiring you to come in with years of experience, we give you the opportunity to learn the business, develop your strengths, and build your experience from the ground up.

This could be a strong opportunity for a recent graduate, college student, career starter, or motivated individual looking to make a change and gain experience that goes beyond what you can put on a resume.

Your First Few Months Could Look Like

Rather than being thrown into a position and expected to know everything, you’ll have the opportunity to learn through:

• Working directly with customers and learning what creates a strong customer experience
• Getting familiar with client brands, products, and services
• Supporting live marketing and promotional initiatives
• Developing confidence in professional conversations and presentations
• Learning the fundamentals of customer acquisition and sales
• Working alongside a team and seeing how campaigns come together
• Receiving feedback and coaching as you develop
• Gradually taking ownership of more responsibilities

The Person We're Hoping to Meet

Your background matters less than what you're willing to do with the opportunity.

We’re interested in people who:

• Want to develop themselves professionally
• Are naturally curious and enjoy learning
• Can communicate comfortably with different types of people
• Take feedback as a chance to improve
• Are dependable and take pride in their work
• Like having goals to work toward
• Want an environment where they can challenge themselves
• Are interested in exploring marketing, sales, business, or communications

No previous marketing or sales experience is required. Training is provided.
