Spire Climbing + Fitness is Montana’s premier climbing and fitness community, offering over 22,000 square feet of rope climbing, bouldering, yoga, fitness training, youth programs, clinics, competitions, and community events. Our mission is to cultivate a community where people of all ages and abilities can enjoy climbing and fitness in a space that is safe, fun, welcoming, and accessible for all.

We are seeking a highly creative, organized, and community-minded individual to help grow the Spire brand through compelling content, memorable events, and strategic marketing initiatives.

This position is intentionally flexible and may be structured as either a part-time or full-time role depending on the applicant’s skills, experience, and interests. For highly experienced candidates, this role would be a full-time leadership position responsible for Spire’s overall marketing strategy and brand development.

For candidates whose strengths are social media, content creation, and events, the position may begin part-time with opportunities for additional hours and growth through other responsibilities Spire has to offer that may fit the applicants skillsets.
