Entry Level Marketing Associate

Entry Level Marketing Associate Full-Time

North Rising Star partners directly with nonprofits across the Twin Cities community. Our team does in-person, face-to-face marketing on behalf of nonprofit partners — representing their brand and mission directly to the public. We take real pride in that partnership, and in the team we're building to carry it forward.

Here's the honest version of what this role is: you'll be out in the community having face-to-face conversations, representing a nonprofit's cause, and asking people to donate. It's a sales role at its core, done through direct marketing outreach — and we'd rather you know that clearly now than find out in the interview.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage face-to-face with community members, representing our nonprofit partner's brand and mission
• Clearly and honestly communicate the cause and the impact of donations
• Meet individual fundraising goals through genuine, persuasive conversation
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of the partner nonprofit's mission and programs
• Represent the North Rising Star brand with integrity in every interaction

Working Environment

• Community-based, face-to-face marketing and outreach
• Fast-paced, people-first setting
• Team-oriented culture with Friday team meetings
• Proactive role — initiating conversations with community members

What We're Looking For

• No experience required — full training provided
• Comfortable approaching and speaking with strangers face-to-face
• Strong verbal communication skills
• Positive, resilient attitude — comfortable with a commission-based role
• Team-oriented, with genuine interest in supporting nonprofit work

Compensation & Benefits

• Week 1: paid training at $15/hour
• After week 1: uncapped earnings
• Most representatives earn $40,000+ annually — uncapped earning potential
• Room to grow: Senior Representative, then Leader roles supporting and coaching others, up through Assistant Manager and Manager (leadership adds a 6th day, only once you choose to step into it)
• In-house training in digital marketing, audience and geographic research, public speaking, emotional intelligence, and branding — unlocked once you've mastered the face-to-face side of the role

Application Process Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates will typically be contacted within 1–3 business days for an initial screening.
