Samaritan Local Storyteller

Seattle, WA
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    Partnership Development/ Growth Marketing Role:

    Don’t mind the unusual name, this role is exactly as it sounds: a storyteller with designs to equip city-goers with a new response to homelessness. If you feel that it is part of our mandate to help those who are lost and not just that of the government or nonprofits, read on; we want to galvanize Seattle’s response to homelessness with your help. Available Part-Time or Full-Time.

    About Samaritan:

    Samaritan is a platform designed to reveal the journeys of those we pass every day — the single mom on the bus, the grandfather on the street, the homeless teen outside the supermarket — and provide an effective, cashless way to respond.

    Small Bluetooth Beacons are distributed to individuals through nonprofit partners, such that if you have the Samaritan app, you’ll receive a push notification as you pass by a beacon holder, with the opportunity to read a slice of the person’s life or contribute a needed good or service (such as food, fuel or clothing). Learn more at www.samaritan.city.

    Responsibilities:

    • Work with the founder to deploy digital campaigns and run inbound marketing for the apps and website
    • Develop partnerships with Seattle-based companies, churches, and other organizations to equip communities with the app
    • Equip existing nonprofit / merchant partners to become advocates for Samaritan through their own communities
    • Help put together fun, grassroots (and hopefully) viral efforts around the people who are experiencing homelessness in Seattle

  • Fun Fact
    Marshawn Lynch once asking about "the little blue thang" one of our homeless friends was wearing (their beacon)!
  • About Us
