Resume and Writing Sample/s Required: 

• Please submit your professional resume including contact information, education, employment, and skills, as well as other relevant information. 

• Please submit a sample of your professional writing; creative writing will also be accepted in addition to professional writing. 

• Note: OLIN is a creative practice, and writing skills are of paramount importance to the marketing coordinator position which includes both original writing and regularly proofing/editing plus summarizing/paraphrasing of others’ writing. At present, OLIN does not use AI in our writing. In order to assess candidates’ writing skills, we would expect any writing samples to represent original work, not work created through AI assistance.

Salary: $55,000 - $65,000 / year, commensurate with experience. Additionally, OLIN offers an extensive benefits package including paid holidays, vacation time, dedicated paid sick days (separate from vacation benefits), as well as healthcare, vision, dental, life insurance, and short- and long-term disability insurance (much of which is fully paid by the company). Additionally, we offer pre-tax flexible spending accounts for transit, parking, medical, and dependent care, as well as a 401K program and an annual professional development allowance. 

Travel: While travel is not a prerequisite expectation for the Marketing Coordinator, you may be presented with opportunities as you grow in the position to visit project sites, attend conferences, and spend time in OLIN’s Los Angeles office.

Remote vs. In-Office Work: OLIN is a studio environment that directly benefits from all our staff coming together and collaborating in-person. We do offer the flexibility and technology to support remote work from home, during travel, etc. Currently, all employees are offered the flexibility to work from home on Fridays and are otherwise expected to work in the office Mondays through Thursdays, though this is subject to change. Occasionally it will be necessary to be in person in the office on a Friday.
