Are you looking for a part-time opportunity where you can make an impact in your community? If so, this may be the position for you!

Marketing at EMF functions by acting as a ministry-to-marketplace matchmaker for each of EMF’s brands and associated products. As part of the broader EMF Marketing department, The Community Engagement team (composed of field marketing teams) exists to create a highly potent, tangible presence in our local markets. By developing relationships in our communities, connecting with our audience at events, and building a local partnership network, we aim to bring our brands to life in a way that serves our community and helps to further the mission of EMF.

This part-time opportunity supports our local Chicagoland Community Engagement Team. Your hours will average anywhere from 19 – 29 hours per week. You must be able to attend events in the evenings, weekends and have a flexible schedule. Once the Marketing Manager adds an event to the calendar, your role is to prepare for a fun booth engagement alongside the Marketing Coordinator. On the day of the event, you’ll pack up the station vehicle with supplies (ie. tent, equipment) and drive to the location to set up. Once your booth is setup, it’s your time to shine! You’ll engage, encourage and sometimes pray with attendees, representing our brands in a positive, friendly and meaningful way. If you’re wondering if it’s a physical job, it absolutely can be. You can also expect to be standing on your feet 4-6 hours at a time. However, time truly flies when you’re hosting games and having fun! To succeed in this job, you’ll have a high level of energy, organization, ability to create meaningful experiences for others and enjoy having a great time.
