Join the Tread Labs Team

Marketing Coordinator - Footwear

Tread Labs designs, manufactures and sells the most supportive footwear on the planet. Built for people on the move, we sell direct to consumers on our website, through Amazon and through a fast-growing network of footwear and outdoor retailers. We are obsessed with quality and service and believe that with the right support, anything is possible. We are located just north of Boston in Woburn, MA.

We are seeking a smart, energetic, entry level Marketing Coordinator to help us manage our rapidly growing business. This role is critical to our growth and has strong potential for upward mobility. We’re a small team with big ambitions. It will be an exciting ride.

Who are you?

You are a communicator, a problem solver, and a builder of relationships. You enjoy learning how to grow a business. Digital is your world, and you navigate quickly. You enjoy interacting with others – in person, via Zoom and through email and phone. You enjoy seeing how your actions drive growth, rather than being a small cog in a big machine. You embrace the challenge of big responsibilities and can pick yourself up after a fall. You prefer a small entrepreneurial environment over the politics of a large corporation.

This Coordinator position reports to Jake, Tread Labs’ Director of Marketing. We are a highly functioning team and believe that working together in the office is best for collaboration and creativity. Our office environment is comfortable, and we enjoy each other’s company.
