Junior Marketing Associate

Junior Marketing Associate Full-Time

Great Lakes Wisconsin is a marketing agency representing nonprofit organizations across the Wisconsin community. This role is built for someone who wants to grow into leadership — you'll start doing the same face-to-face fundraising work as the rest of the team, and as you grow, you'll take on responsibility for coaching and managing your own team.

Here's the honest starting point: the core of this job, day one, is in-person fundraising — face-to-face conversations, representing a nonprofit's cause, asking people to donate. It's sales work. The management side of this role is something you grow into as you build a track record, not something you start doing on your first day.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage face-to-face with community members, representing our nonprofit partner
• Meet individual fundraising goals through genuine, persuasive conversation
• As you advance, coach and support a team of representatives — helping them grow, not just tracking their numbers
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of the partner nonprofit's mission and programs
• Represent the Great Lakes Wisconsin brand with integrity in every interaction

Working Environment

• Community-based, face-to-face fundraising to start
• Fast-paced, people-first setting
• Team-oriented culture with Friday team meetings
• As you move into leadership, a growing role in running those meetings and supporting your team directly

What We're Looking For

• No experience required — full training provided
• Comfortable approaching and speaking with strangers face-to-face
• Genuinely interested in leading and developing people, not just managing numbers
• Strong verbal communication skills
• Comfortable with a commission-based role while building toward leadership

Compensation & Benefits

• Week 1: paid training at $15/hour
• After week 1: uncapped earnings
• Most representatives earn $40,000+ annually — uncapped earning potential
• Real path to leadership: Representative, then Senior Representative, then Leader — managing and coaching your own team — then Assistant Manager and Manager (leadership adds a 6th day, only once you 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.
