At Postling, we believe in empowering small businesses so local communities can thrive in a world of big brands. In line with this vision, we created a social media management tool specifically for small businesses. Our Sidewalk Collective community events take the social media conversation into an offline setting where local businesses can give and get advice from each other.

We have three open, paid positions for part-time Community Builders—one each in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco—to help us grow the Postling community in those cities.
