Job description
Mud Turtle Outdoor Living
Marketing Coordinator — Content & Social Media
Mokena, IL · On-site with regular jobsite travel · Full-time
We're building out our marketing team as we grow — our Marketing Coordinator is stepping up into a manager role, and we need someone to take the reins on the daily work of showing off what we actually build: full backyard transformations, not just pools. If you'd rather be on a jobsite with a camera than stuck behind a desk all day, and you know how to turn that into content people stop scrolling for, this is your seat.
About Mud Turtle Outdoor Living
Mud Turtle Outdoor Living is a design-build company in Mokena, IL serving the southwest Chicago suburbs. We build inground pools, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, and structures — the whole backyard, not just one piece of it. Our season runs March through December, with a design and marketing team that stays busy planning ahead through the winter.
About the Role
A year from now, you'll have built a real pipeline from jobsite to feed — consistent, high-quality photo and video content flowing from active projects into a posting calendar that runs like clockwork. You'll report to our Marketing Manager and work closely with her day to day;
this is a true partnership, not a role where you wait to be told what to post.
What You'll Do
Own the day-to-day social media calendar — daily and weekly posts across Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms we use
Visit active job sites regularly to shoot photo and video of projects in progress and completed, in all the seasons our crews are working
Run and help optimize social media ad campaigns alongside the Marketing Manager
Coordinate with our sales, design, and production teams so no great project moment gets missed
Support the Marketing Manager on broader marketing work — website content, brand consistency, campaigns — as it comes up
Track what's actually working (engagement, ad performance) and report back in plain, useful terms
What We're Looking For
Required
Experience running the day-to-day social media accounts for a business — building and keeping a content calendar on schedule
Experience shooting and editing photo and video content for social, on location with a phone or camera — not just designing graphics at a desk
Comfortable visiting active construction or job sites regularly, in all the weather our March–December season brings
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for travel between job sites around the southwest Chicago suburbs
Preferred
Experience running or assisting with paid social advertising campaigns
Broader marketing experience beyond social — campaigns, email, content strategy, or brand work
Background in home services, construction, or another visually-driven industry (real estate, hospitality, design)
Familiarity with Canva or a similar design tool
Compensation & Benefits
Compensation: $48,000–$58,000 per year, depending on experience — particularly photo and video production skill and breadth of marketing background.
Benefits: 401(k) eligible and 5 days of PTO after 90 days of employment;
separate from company-wide breaks;
an extended Thanksgiving break;
and an extended winter break running from the Friday before Christmas through New Year's Eve, back to work the first few days of January — a real perk of working in a seasonal business built around our slower months, not just standard holiday time off.
