Position Overview
This position’s primary focus is to create stellar content in digital formats.
The Content Marketing Coordinator will focus primarily on creating content for the Balance365 brand including:
- Research, Curation and Ideation
- Writing and Editing
- Graphic and Web Design
Who We Are
As of January 2020, Balance365 has spent five years disrupting, educating, growing, connecting, and most importantly: serving.
Balance365® is a movement for women who want to pursue sustainable practices around food, fitness, and emotional well-being. We believe the key to achieving your health and wellness goals is not another diet, rather a shift in mindset to drive new thoughts, behaviors, and habits. Because we know that “success” looks different for each individual, we refrain from prescriptive health and wellness protocols in favor of evidence-based, individualized behavior change processes. We provide a framework that guides people through the behavior change process and helps them set goals that are achievable for their unique life and body. The Balance365 life is one where self-compassion replaces self-loathing, healthy habits replace diets, and inner peace replaces inner turmoil.
What We Believe In
Our company values are laced throughout our branding, our coaching style, and our program. We strive to BE the company our customers need to see in order to feel confident as one of the few who are opting out of diet culture and embracing new beliefs and behaviors about health and wellbeing.
Why have we been successful in building our brand and community? Because we lean into our core values:
- Steadfast Courage
- Holistic Growth
- Grounded Confidence
- Inspired Collaboration
- Autonomy Advocates
It’s taken steadfast courage to stand up and say health and wellness can be messy, but it is definitely not black and white as many companies have led people to believe.
Holistic Growth is what sustains us, and keeps us moving forward, both internally and externally. We’ve learned that growing this company happens in conjunction with personal growth. It requires tremendous personal discomfort to take risks, fail fast, and build resilience. It’s full of hard conversations, boundaries, examining beliefs, and getting comfortable with the fact that not everyone will like us.
Balance365 believes in emulating grounded confidence. Grounded confidence happens when vulnerability, curiosity, and practice collide. In order to exhibit grounded confidence, we know our team member’s need to feel safe. None of us in this company is perfect, but we are ALL capable of great things. We will applaud those who take action, and move forward even when the answer is unclear.
Inspired Collaboration drives so much of what we do in this company. We have seen time and again the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Together, we are stronger. And when we pause to consider each person’s unique talents, abilities, and perspective, when we foster a culture of collaboration, we have the potential to create something very special.
Lastly, our guiding compass in creating relationships with our clients should be as autonomy advocates. Our people are not faceless numbers, nor do they exist to become our success story or next marketing campaign. Time and again we hear, “Balance365 treated me as a person.” Additionally, being an autonomy advocate means our team is built from independent, self-starters with freedom to create in environments that inspire you.
