Why We’re Hiring

As our client base continues to expand, we are looking for a dedicated Marketing Assistant to join our growing production team.

This is a hands-on, high-output role for someone who thrives on the execution side of marketing-turning strategy into polished, on-brand deliverables across multiple brands. Working closely with the Account Management team, you will help keep client marketing moving forward through consistent content production, strong attention to detail, and reliable execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Social Media Content Creation: Create and schedule compelling short-form content-including Reels, Carousels, and Stories-that hooks viewers instantly, highlights each brand’s value, encourages engagement, and turns viewers into interested potential guests.
• Email Marketing: Create and schedule email campaigns tailored to each client’s brand, audience, and goals using a mix of value-driven and promotional content to nurture the audience, build trust over time, and drive direct bookings.
• Data Collection & Reporting: Record weekly social media and email performance data to identify insights and inform ongoing strategy improvements for each client.
• Account Management Support: Assist Account Managers with additional tasks as needed to support day-to-day client management and overall account success.
• Project Management: Manage tasks and deadlines within Asana to maintain an organized workflow and provide the Account Management team with visibility into the production pipeline.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with the team to support client success, share feedback, and contribute to a strong, collaborative environment as the company grows.
• Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Take initiative in identifying new ideas, creative opportunities, and process improvements that strengthen content performance and improve execution.

Qualifications

• Confident using Instagram features, including Reels, Stories, tagging, commenting, and DMs.
• Excellent time management and organizational skills to juggle multiple projects and meet deadlines consistently.
• Strong Canva skills and a good eye for clean, on-brand design.

Good to Have:
