About Us
“My grandmother worked as a Rosie the Riveter during WWII, and her photo has always been inspirational for me. The spirit of the Rosies, the moxie of an underestimated group overcoming a significant challenge through teamwork, is why I created Pivot. Our goal is to apply that spirit to help improve our community and the environment.”

One way we contribute is by offering our event space for free to non-profits and civic groups. Get in touch with us through our contact form if your group needs a place for meetings or an event.

Jobs at Pivot
Director of Marketing
The Director of Marketing (DM) has five key roles at Pivot:
- Planning
- Marketing
- Branding
- Analysis
- Outreach
You introduce Pivot to the world. You explore how we reach our customers, and you ensure the quality of those interactions. You protect our look, voice, and vision.
Are you a planner? Do you enjoy social media? Have you taken a photography class? Have you worked in a startup environment?
You will need to be flexible, resourceful, and not afraid of getting your hands dirty when necessary. You will need to be able to manage your own time and evaluate the success of your efforts. You will also need to recognize that we value our environmental mission and commitment to the community over financial rewards. We are still a startup operating in a competitive industry, but we are finding ways to have a positive impact.
The DM will use Excel, Adobe Illustrator, Canva, and Elementor for WordPress and should have an in-depth understanding of using the major social media platforms for business. The DM will also need to understand photography and copywriting.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities and an inclusive environment at Pivot. Our success has come from teamwork, and the best teams are diverse.
If the DM position sounds like a good fit for you, you can find the application here on Indeed.
