Job Sales Coordinator in Remote

Write persuasively, proceed methodically, and communicate passionately.

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a lasting difference in our world? Are you a natural storyteller? If you’re also great at research and even better at time-management, apply your skills to help nonprofits and other mission-driven institutions partner with a digital agency that champions digital accessibility and puts people at the heart of everything we do.

As the Sales Coordinator, you'll work with the CEO and other members of the sales, accounts, marketing, and project teams to help us persuade values-aligned organizations that we have the skills and passion to transform their websites to make a positive impact on their audiences and society.

You’ve likely got 2-3 years of experience (or more) and maybe a bachelor’s degree in business, communications, or marketing—but you might also have an atypical background who punches above their weight by coming from another related but surprising background not listed here.

Past agency experience is a big plus, but your cover letter will be the most important part of your successful application.

Candidates for this full-time remote position must reside in the US or Canada. Toronto preferred. If you’re a recruiter or agency, please don’t contact us.
