Digital Growth Lead (8-10 hrs/week)

Digital Growth Lead (8-10 hrs/week)

Part-time contractor. 8 to 10 hours per week. Remote, North Carolina-based preferred.

ABOUT THE ALLIANCE

The Irish American Business Alliance of North Carolina (IABA NC) is a 501(c)(6) trade association connecting Irish, Irish-American, and Ireland-curious business leaders across the state. We promote North Carolina as a landing point for Irish companies entering the U.S. market, and we run programming that brings senior decision-makers together throughout the year.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are hiring a Digital Growth Lead to own the Alliance's digital presence and turn it into a measurable engine for member growth, sponsor visibility, and Ireland-to-NC business development.

This is a hands-on role with leadership-level scope. You will set the cadence on LinkedIn, the inbox, and the website, run paid campaigns aimed at Irish companies looking at the U.S., and report directly into the COO. The work is visible to our board, our partners at consular and trade agencies, and the senior business audience we serve.

If you want a part-time role that meaningfully moves the needle for a small, ambitious organization, this is one.

• Two LinkedIn posts per week, tied to Alliance events, partnerships, and strategic priorities
• Website event listings, content refreshes, and ongoing accuracy
• A consistent voice across channels that resonates with a senior business audience

Email and CRM

• A clean, accurate mailing list with active hygiene
• A monthly email update to members and subscribers
• Tracked growth, engagement, and data-quality reporting

Paid media

• Targeted campaigns reaching Irish companies exploring U.S. market entry

Preferred

• B2B, economic development, or international business marketing experience
• Familiarity with the Irish to U.S. business or trade ecosystem
• Comfort operating independently inside a lean organization

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS

• A consistent, high-quality LinkedIn presence with measurable lift in followers, post engagement, and inbound member or sponsor inquiries
• A growing, well-segmented mailing list with stronger open and click rates than today
• At least one paid campaign that demonstrably reaches and engages Irish business decision-makers
• A monthly reporting rhythm the board and COO rely on for decisions
