Self-Evident Education: Sales and Distribution Coordinator Job Description

Self-Evident Education creates multimedia resources and professional development opportunities that harness the powers of storytelling to allow educators to deeply understand the histories and legacies of systemic racism in the United States of America and to facilitate those conversations in their classrooms. We believe that learning is an essential human drive, and so the opportunity to learn will be the engine that powers the growth of our work. By empowering educators and their students with a deeper understanding of our nation’s past, we equip them with the tools to better understand our present, and imagine and build a future where racism can be intentionally dismantled.

We are committed to teaching critical history in responsible ways. We are an organization that values the diverse identities and lived experiences of our community and we will always be committed to working with love, integrity, and accountability.

We are looking for a Sales and Distribution Coordinator to support our executive director in creating and successfully executing marketing and sales plans for Self-Evident Education’s goods (multimedia curriculum and “Know the Ledge”) and services (professional development, curriculum development, consulting, contract filmmaking, etc), as well as seeking corporate sponsorship relationships. Candidates are able to work remotely and travel on occasion; being able to work in person in Florence, MA on occasion is a plus, but not required.

As Sales and Distribution Coordinator, you will perform various organizational tasks, including research, creation of sales materials, relationship building (customer recruitment and retainment), attending/presenting at conferences, communications, and more. For this role, a strong Internet connection is required. Ultimately, you should be able to handle marketing and sales initiatives and deliver high-quality work under minimum supervision.

The Sales and Distribution Coordinator position is a W2 position.
