    • Prep/lead portions of client meetings with confidence and clarity.

    Integrated Marketing Execution

    • Coordinate cross-discipline work (strategy, content, design, web/dev, media, PR).
    • Support digital programs (email, social, paid search/social, analytics) with practical, data-aware recommendations.
    • Contribute to web and social best practices (UX/SEO basics, content structure, accessibility considerations).
    • Help manage vendors/freelancers to scope, schedule, and budget.

    Quality & Operations

    • Uphold brand, editorial, and accessibility standards; execute QC checklists.
    • Keep documentation tight: briefs, scopes, change orders, recaps, and retros.
    • Help improve our playbooks and templates (SOPs) so the whole team gets faster and better.

     

    What You’ll Bring

    Must-haves

    • BA/BS or equivalent experience.
    • 2–3 years in marketing/communications, agency, or project management roles.
    • Demonstrated experience running timelines, coordinating teams, and managing deliverables across multiple workstreams.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication; crisp, kind, and direct.
    • Digital fluency (email, social, web basics, SEO/UX fundamentals, analytics awareness).
    • Tool comfort: ClickUp (or similar PM tool), Google/Microsoft Workspace, PowerPoint/Slides; Adobe familiarity is a plus.

    Strengths we value

    • Collaboration & positivity (you elevate the room).
    • Organization & follow-through (nothing slips).
    • Adaptability & problem-solving (you turn curveballs into options).
    • Bias for action (you move work forward with clarity).
    • Professionalism under pressure (steady, solutions-oriented, respectful).

    How we work

    • Team first: We plan together, communicate early, and celebrate wins.
    • Fast + thoughtful: Speed matters; strategy guides it.
    • Accountable: We own outcomes—timelines, budgets, and quality.
