• Track record of successfully executing multi-channel marketing campaigns for niche products or services.
• Marketing of professional services to businesses is a desirable background
• We are not looking for a VP of marketing or a manager to manage people or a marketing strategist. This is a hands-on, doer job that can grow into a bigger manager/strategist role upon successful execution of GVNG’s growth strategies with commensurate growth results. When the company grows, the job can grow. For now, it’s all execution.
• This is really a “coordinator” job. High level marketing strategy has been developed by senior mgmt at GVNG. This role is transform that strategy into actionable multi-channel marketing projects, with close coordination across multiple channels.
• Must have hands-on experience with HubSpot or similar for outbound marketing. A key part of the “coordination” in this role is to ensure that data is collected and used for outbound marketing.

The person in this role will be expected to look at a client-generated payment request, ensure that it meets guidelines, ensure that required documentation and explanations are appropriate, and then issue approvals.

• Requires experience in an accounting admin role. Ideally with a nonprofit, but that’s not mandatory.
• Requires experience with customer/client relations and first-level support (triage/identify the problem, help if you can, otherwise quickly route to appropriate person).

• Must be VERY detail-oriented and responsible to ensure that work is completed in a timely manner.
• Should have solid experience working with accounting or other financial software.

Location – Can be anywhere in the US for the right person, but because this one role requires a lot of interaction with GVNG management, there is a preference for someone located in the Los Angeles area.

• Requires hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, specifically AWS. Google, Azure, etc. are nice to have.

• Requires strong experience building out security and disaster recovery infrastructure from scratch.
• Experience with SOC 2 and other similar audit/accountability processes is highly desirable.
