• Represent the organization professionally in the field and in meetings as needed
• Help us get connected to the communities most relevant to this work

Qualifications

• Highly personable and comfortable talking to new people in person
• Strong social instincts and people skills
• Confident, outgoing, and comfortable building rapport quickly
• Comfortable with face-to-face outreach and relationship-building
• Able to work independently and take initiative
• Professional, dependable, and responsive
• Strong judgment about how to approach people and build trust
• Comfortable building real-world relationships through consistent in-person follow-through

Preferred Background

This role may be a strong fit for someone with existing ties in:

• harbor or waterfront communities
• port-related or logistics circles
• labor-adjacent or union-family communities
• Long Beach, San Pedro, or Wilmington local networks
• admin, dispatch, office, support, or community-facing roles connected to these communities

This role may be a strong fit for people with experience in:

• club or event promotion
• brand ambassador or street team work
• field marketing or grassroots outreach
• hospitality, nightlife, or venue hosting
• outside sales or business development
• community liaison or referral-based relationship work
• member-facing, front desk, or other highly social relationship-based roles

Candidates with real existing relationships in these kinds of environments are especially encouraged to apply.

Compensation

Starting at $2,850, depending on experience and fit.
