By raising awareness of Maine as a career destination, we aim to showcase resources that help connect talented individuals with top employers across the state.

What You’ll Do:

  • Marketing & Content Creation:
    • Develop engaging content for social media, email campaigns, graphics, and flyers that promote Maine’s job opportunities and lifestyle.
    • Travel across the state to capture photos, videos, and stories that highlight local employers and the Maine experience.
    • Assist in the execution of marketing campaigns and other creative marketing initiatives.

    • Represent Live and Work in Maine at job fairs, networking events, and community gatherings.
    • Assist in managing relationships with organizations that align with our mission.

  • Organizing and tracking inventory (t-shirts, keychains, stickers—you name it)
  • Helping place reorders when stock gets low
  • Prepping and shipping merch for giveaways, events, and partner organization.
  • Coordinating distribution across the state (think: job fairs, tourism spots, career centers, etc.)
  • Data & Reporting:
    • Track and analyze marketing performance metrics (social media engagement, job board activity, campaign success). 
    • Compile reports to help inform future marketing and recruitment

  • Social-savvy content creator with experience in video and visual storytelling across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Facebook
  • Self-starter who’s organized, proactive, and motivated by results—you don’t wait to be told what to do
  • Someone who’s comfortable hitting the road to travel around Maine, meet partners, and capture authentic, on-the-ground content
  • Someone with an analytical side, too—you’re not afraid of spreadsheets, dashboards, or digging into metrics to see what’s working

What You’ll Gain:

  • Hands-on experience in marketing, branding, employer engagement, and content creation.
  • The opportunity to travel around Maine and connect with businesses, job seekers, and community leaders.
  • Professional networking opportunities within Maine’s business and economic development communities.
