For marketers who want ownership, impact, and the runway to grow into a marketing leader.
Important note:
This is not an ordinary job! We're not a recruitment agency. We're marketing consultants who help fast-growing businesses build their in-house marketing teams. By joining our exclusive hiring network, you'll get first access to part-time and full-time marketing opportunities across eComm, B2B, B2C, brick-and-mortar, and SaaS companies.
As roles open, you'll be matched with founders who value strong marketers who can take ownership of execution and day-to-day marketing momentum.
As a Marketing Coordinator for our clients, you'll be responsible for coordinating, planning, and executing marketing campaigns across multiple media channels.
You'll establish a collaborative working relationship with the business owner, who will work with you on strategic and big-picture goals while you take charge of tactical implementation and execution. You'll also have access to the Lean Marketing Accelerator to get support, further training, coaching, and strategic direction.
The ability to organize, plan, and structure your workload in an autonomous fashion will be absolutely key to your success in this role. We neither have the time nor the inclination to micromanage you. You'll have a lot of freedom but also a lot of responsibility.
The Six Non-Negotiables We Look For
- Copywriting. You'll be crafting direct marketing campaigns across email, direct mail, web, and social media. Your written skills need to be excellent, and we will expect to see samples of your previous work.
- Being tech-savvy. You don't need to be a technical expert, but you must be tech-savvy and be able to quickly learn how to use new marketing tools and technologies. While we don't expect you to know all of the tools we use, we do expect you to be comfortable with them and able to pick up the concepts. Your daily tools of the trade will be CRM systems, content management systems, email marketing, etc.
- Leadership potential. Initially, you'll be our only in-house marketing person, but as you hit goals, we fully expect this role to morph into a marketing team leader role where you will manage a team of marketing assistants.
- Project management. Ideally, you've had experience in project management. A large part of this role is creating and adhering to deadlines, drafting budgets, and moving simultaneous projects forward to completion. We need someone that can create & manage project timelines to ensure that campaigns and initiatives are completed on time.
- Being teachable and coachable. There will be a LOT of learning on the job as we do marketing very differently. There is no place here for know-it-alls. We hire based primarily on attitude.
- Being a self-starter. Goals will be clearly defined from the outset. Often, it will be your job to determine what needs to happen, when, and how. The attitude of continually starting things on your own is very important.
