You’d be available by email at least once a week and in contact with our Board/Flame Con Steering Committee minimum once a month.
Social Media / Content Coordinator
Do you believe an Insta story is worth a thousand words? Do you have a sixth sense for what will be trending on Twitter? Do you get a rush from stitching the perfect response to a TikTok?
