Hylton-Rodic Law

Compensation

Full Description

Description About the Role This is not your average entry-level marketing job. We’re looking for a sharp, energetic, and detail-driven Marketing Assistant to join our fast-moving team in a dual-capacity role—supporting the marketing efforts of both Hylton-Rodic Law (HRL), a boutique intellectual property law firm, and EPIARX Diagnostics, a growing postmortem pathology practice. These two businesses share ownership and values, and this new position offers the rare opportunity to work across both sectors—from science and law to client outreach and brand strategy. You’ll support everything from content and campaigns to conference logistics and client communications. One day you might be scheduling a newsletter and prepping a brochure mailer; the next, drafting social media posts and helping coordinate a client-facing webinar. This is the first dedicated full-time marketing hire for both firms. You’ll be empowered to shape the role, take ownership of projects, and grow into a potential leadership position over time. About Us Hylton-Rodic Law (HRL) HRL is a women- and minority-owned patent law firm based in Washington, DC.
