Marketing Manager
We’ve got a great story to tell at the Guild Collective and we’re looking for someone who would be excited to help refine and communicate that story. In a world that is changing fast and producing cheap, we are reaching back to something ancient and maybe even holy. We are harkening the quality of guild-driven craftsmanship and the deep valuing of relationship & people that seems to have been lost. If sharing this kind of story aligns with and invigorates you, we would love to talk. Take a look at our guildtx.com website and then let us know when you would like to meet.
