Marketing and Office Manager

Join Our Team at River Arts!

River Arts, a vibrant community arts organization in Morrisville, VT, is seeking an organized, tech-savvy, and energetic Marketing and Office Manager to help keep our operations running smoothly—and help our story shine. If you’re passionate about the arts and have a knack for communication and coordination, this could be your perfect fit.

In this dynamic role, you’ll help manage day-to-day administrative tasks, coordinate class schedules, and support our database systems. But just as importantly, you’ll play a key role in shaping our public voice—supporting social media, newsletters, and promotional outreach to help us grow our audience and share the incredible work of our artists and programs with the world.

We’re looking for a detail-oriented multitasker with strong communication skills and comfort with digital tools like social media platforms, email, spreadsheets and word processing. Experience with Squarespace and CRMs is a big plus. Prior office or administrative experience is preferred, but a positive attitude and passion for creativity are essential.

This is a full-time role at $22.50 per hour. If you’re excited to join a small, collaborative team that values both artistry and organization, we’d love to hear from you! Send your cover letter and résumé to Jonah Rabinowitz at executivedirector@riverartsvt.org today.

I never thought that I would be able to get a professional job in the arts at 18 and this program showed me that I can and that’s really given me a lot of hope for my future. I was really scared at first but this is a really neat and easy way to ease my anxiety about applying for jobs, to meet a bunch of cool people, and have a really good support team behind me.
