Marketing Coordinator

Co-Dough, Newport, RI, USA

Pay: 60.000 - 80.000

Job type: Seasonal


Co-Dough is a sourdough-focused bakery built on a commitment to doing things the right way — high-quality ingredients, no shortcuts, and a lot of care behind everything we make. We're growing quickly and looking for someone who wants to be part of building something long-term — not just looking for a job, but a role they can grow into.
About the Role

The Marketing & Social Media Lead is Co-Dough's first dedicated marketing hire and is responsible for how the brand shows up across social media, email, partnerships, and events. This role owns content creation, photography, posting, and community engagement, while working under the direction of management on overall strategy. Success in this position requires creativity, strong visual instincts, and organization. Critically, the ability to internalize and execute according to the owner's specific brand voice and preferences is essential for success in this role. This position requires the ability to work independently while collaborating closely with management and occasional outside consultants.
