Job Requirements / Description

Job Summary
We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Sales and Marketing Manager to lead our marketing initiatives and drive sales growth with a focus on the interior design and decorating industry. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in both traditional and digital marketing strategies, with a proven ability to develop and implement effective marketing campaigns. This position has a base pay for 8 - 10 hours a week + commissions on all sales exceeding the monthly stipend pay. Our hope is that through the success of the candidate, this position will develop into a full-time role with influence on the future path of the company.

Company Background

We are essentially two businesses under one unique company. New World Cartographic buys and sells historic maps, prints, posters, and other paper ephemera. It is based in a gallery at the Bridgeport Art Center and sells original, antique material to collectors and institutions around the world.

The Vintage Map Shop is an online business that sells fine print reproductions of the original maps and prints procured by New World Cartographic. This business has strong potential with regards to breaking into the interior decorating market, specifically those that seek large, wholesale orders as we can print in unlimited quantity on demand. This business will be exhibiting at the Home Design Expo in Las Vegas, May 6 - 8, 2025, and we would expect our new employee to be very much involved with that event and hopefully others like it in the future.
