Marketing Assistant

Position Overview

This position’s primary focus is to partner with the Marketing Managers of the company, ensuring their support, projects, and commitments are executed flawlessly. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for supporting the marketing department as a whole through creating and executing the marketing department systems and communicating them to the team. 

You’re a detail-oriented, organized, and experienced marketing assistant with no problem juggling multiple tasks and responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. Supporting others is your thing. Satisfaction for you means taking care of the little (and big) things that help leaders lead more effectively.

The Marketing Assistant position might be PERFECT for you if you’re a positive, tech-savvy, and organized self-starter with experience in a similar role.

You’re excited to work with a team that’s making waves in the online marketing industry and committed to changing lives and businesses. You also understand that more often than not, it’s the little things that really count (it’s this mentality that helps you excel in a support role).

We’re looking for someone who’s happy to keep up with the fast pace of our growing team. Our ideal candidate knows how to communicate with warmth and grace. Attention to detail and interpersonal skills that ensure discretion and confidentiality are essential.

A commitment to continuously learning, improving, and refining your skills is a part of who you are. As an online business, we do things differently and we need someone who’s adaptable and able to work independently most of the time.

We’re looking for a professional, experienced Marketing Assistant who shows up daily with a get-it-done attitude and is always thinking ahead. If you’re the kind of person who thrives being surrounded by a diverse team of exceptional people dedicated to changing the lives of online entrepreneurs all over the world, keep reading…
