At Pear, we enable brands and consumers to connect in a meaningful way -- we call it Marketing that Matters. The Marketing Coordinator ensures that strategic marketing initiatives are executed at expectation and pace. Efforts will focus on growing the awareness of the Pear brand through PR, brand campaigns, events and other related efforts. The Marketing Coordinator will also work directly with other team leads, as this position requires resources and efforts from technology, digital marketing, community management and account management.  The Marketing Manager is the key point of interface with vendors and other outside resources; this is a position that requires forward thinking, problem solving and accountability in execution.  

This position provides the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with Pear’s top leadership team, reporting directly to the Senior Marketing Manager, while influencing decisions and processes that affect all departments within Pear from Sales to Product to Finance and Marketing.

We’re proud of our team and working culture. We provide competitive compensation, upside and benefits packages, and we have fun at work. From projects to career development, we truly support one another. Pear has been honored (by Brill Street) as one of Chicago's Top 10 places for millennials to work and our parent company (CustomInk) was recognized by Forbes as the #1 Great Place to Work in the retail & ecommerce large company category.
