Marketing Assistant Job Description
Position: Marketing Assistant
Supervisor: Director of Marketing & Communications
Type: Full-time, exempt
Salary: $60,000 to $65,000
Target Start Date: ASAP
Organization Overview
Formed in January 2020, Revolutionary Spaces brings people together to explore the ongoing
American struggle to create and sustain a free society as singularly evoked by the two national
treasures we care for—Boston’s Old South Meeting House and Old State House.
Constructed in 1713, the Old State House was the center of royal government in the
Massachusetts Bay colony and the focal point for many of the Revolution’s most dramatic
events. It was here that the Boston Massacre occurred in 1770. Built in 1729, the Old South
Meeting House was the largest building in colonial Boston and the site of the most stirring
mass meetings that led to the American Revolution, including the gathering that led to the
Boston Tea Party.
Today, these historic Freedom Trail sites and museums—located just two blocks from each
other in the heart of downtown Boston—provide thought-provoking exhibits, compelling tours,
exciting educational offerings, and engaging public programs. We are dedicated to creating
experiences for our audiences that not only deepen understanding of the past, but also provide
a fresh perspective on the world we live in today and help us create new ideas and tools to
build a more just and equitable tomorrow.
Revolutionary Spaces is an equal opportunity employer. We center our work on the following
values:
Inclusion: We are dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion and ensuring
accessibility on multiple dimensions.
Relevance: We are dedicated to creatively linking lessons of the past with the interests
and concerns of Boston’s diverse communities today.
Boldness of thought: We address challenging topics and promote understanding in
response to controversy.
Engagement: We encourage people to engage, add their voices to today’s debates, and
collaborate with others to discover new ways of thinking.
