Job description

A Cherry On Top Crafts is currently looking for a motivated and creative individual to join our team as a Marketing Assistant.

What You’d Be Doing:

As a Marketing Assistant, you would be working with our Marketing Director to help grow and expand our business and our customer base. This could include various tasks such as:

• Utilizing your strong photography, videography, and/or writing skills to create engaging content and creatives that resonate with our customers.
• Finding and promoting appropriate products, quickly learning and adapting to market trends, and analyzing data to inform marketing strategies.
• Assisting with social media projects and paid marketing efforts.
• Assisting with website copywriting, proofing, and updating.
• Assisting in our small storefront (helping local customers with purchases and order pickup, answering questions, creating appealing product displays, restocking products).

Our marketing team is small right now, so we have lots of opportunities for different types of work, and we’re willing to adjust this role to the strengths of the right applicant.

About Us:

We’re a small family business that sells a BIG variety of craft supplies! We’ve been around for more than 20 years and have something for just about everyone, from scrapbooking and cardmaking supplies, to yarn and paint. We ship worldwide from acherryontop.com, and we also have a small storefront attached to our warehouse in Saginaw, MI. We pride ourselves on caring about our employees, working hard, and fulfilling our mission to inspire and support crafters in their creative journey.

Who We’re Looking For:

To be an ideal candidate for this position, you need to be creative, analytical, and proactive, with a passion for marketing and a strong attention to detail. This role requires excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. In particular, we need you to have excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills.

You’ll need to be able to work on several projects at once (both collaboratively and by yourself), and quickly learn about our business and industry while doing it. You need to be tech-savvy, comfortable with digital marketing tools and the devices and software needed to use them. We’d like you to have a degree in marketing, art, business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

We’d love it if you already have experience in the crafting world (particularly with paper crafts), but as long as you’re willing to learn about our products, we can work with you.

Being a small business, we have some flexibility to tailor this role to your strengths and experience. That experience should include at least several of these:

• Experience with Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator
• Graphic design/website design experience
• Experience with any digital ad platform (Google, Meta, Pinterest)
• Experience working with a social media page
• Experience with Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity
• Experience using Canva or similar to create social media and website images
• SEO experience
• Experience with product photography and videography (both long form and shorts/reels)
• Experience in customer service of some sort (retail, restaurant, help desk, etc)
• Experience with writing/editing blog posts

Other Details:

• This is a full time, salaried position with the expectation of 40 hours of work per week. You would be working during our normal business hours of 8am - 4pm, Monday - Friday (although we’re willing to be somewhat flexible with your schedule).
• Work would primarily be performed in person at our office/warehouse in Saginaw.
• Your first 45 days will be considered a probationary period where you’ll learn about the job and we’ll both see if we’re a good fit for each other.
• After the probationary period, you’ll begin to receive paid time off (PTO), along with the ability to contribute to a retirement plan with company match. We’ll also cover part of the cost for our company health/dental/vision insurance plan, if you’d like to join that.

Think you'd be a good fit?

We'd love to hear from you! All applicants on Indeed will be considered, but if you'd like to really stand out, send us a quick cover letter at [email protected] letting us know how your unique skills, experiences, or interests align with this role and could contribute to our team. If you have any examples of past work you’d like to share, please include those as well.
