Back in 1977, Denver was booming. Thousands of Baby Boomers were fleeing the coasts, lured to Colorado by the climate, the scenery, the promise of endlessly flowing Coors. But with the deluge came a dilemma: so many young, active people - and so little to read that told them what was happening in their increasingly dynamic city. That's why Westword was born.

As a result, www.westword.com has become both the first and the last stop of the day for anyone who wants to know what's going on in Denver. But the more things change, the more they stay the same: Every week, the print edition is also eagerly snatched up in college classrooms, coffeehouses, corporate offices and at the State Capitol by faithful readers who continue to appreciate hard-hitting, award-winning journalism that both covers the cultural scene - and uncovers where the deals are going down.

This is an entry level, administrative assistant position - working directly for the Management team and for a sales department of approximately 15 Account Executives who sell a variety of media platforms including: print, online, digital, SEO, email, SMS and sponsorships.
