In addition to performing those duties for Cornershop, this position will be expected to occasionally attend conferences and client meetings.

Since we are a web agency that works with nonprofits, our ideal candidate will have a passion for social justice, experience working with the nonprofit community, and a working knowledge of WordPress and/or digital marketing.

• Previous experience creating and presenting customized sales presentations, proposals, contracts, and post-sales communications
• Incredibly organized
