Job Story

Are you a people-person with a knack for sales and creativity? Do you love helping others bring their ideas to life with the perfect promotional product? Join our team and put your energy into connecting campus life with the tools to stand out.

In this role, you’ll be the face of our promotional services — meeting with student organizations, campus departments, and even outside businesses to match them with items that build pride and make events memorable. You’ll showcase new products, create eye-catching presentations, and follow projects from the first conversation to the final delivery.

Our small but mighty team thrives on teamwork and initiative. We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running — eager to learn, contribute ideas, and make an immediate impact. You’ll balance multiple projects at once, think creatively under pressure, and find satisfaction in seeing your efforts come to life across campus.

Every day is different: one moment you’re preparing a custom proposal for a fraternity, the next you’re coordinating logistics with a national vendor, then wrapping up by delivering an order to a department that can’t wait to see their new gear. Along the way, you’ll keep track of orders, maintain inventory, and make sure our operation runs smoothly.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where creativity meets connection, and you’re ready to showcase your talents while learning and growing with a collaborative team, this is your opportunity to help shape the promotional presence of our university community — and beyond.
