The Position...
You will be joining our team as an independent contractor to help perform a variety of important marketing and website related tasks and general virtual assistance - including helping with digital marketing, graphic design, social media, and writing-related tasks.

 

This position will start off at 5-10 hours/week, with the potential to increase over time.

 

Some examples of your responsibilities will include…

• Format and send out newsletters in Ontraport (Proofread, format, and schedule delivery)
• Create landing pages and email follow-up campaigns for upcoming events
• Duplicate and set up web pages in WordPress, and update website content
• Draft & schedule Facebook posts
• Create graphics in Canva and/or Photoshop
• Locate and purchase photos for newsletters, blogs, and social media
• Use Zapier to connect online services

• Set up Zoom for upcoming webinars / teleseminars
• Research and identify potential strategic partners & speaking events / sponsorships
• Update and format PDF flyers, handouts & signup sheets for speaking engagements
• Add new leads to Ontraport after speaking engagements and networking events
• Turn audio recordings into written emails, social media posts, and/or blog posts.

 

Ideal applicants will have the following personal characteristics...

• Friendly, enthusiastic personality
• An optimist by nature, who is always able to see the bright side in any situation
• Curious, eager & willing to learn and grow. Enjoys taking on new challenges!
• Enjoys technology and loves learning new software + programs
• Love to feel productive and get things done
• Flexible schedule; enjoy being able to respond quickly to new tasks and projects
• Happy to return a text or phone call anytime, and can’t remember the last time you had an email sitting in your inbox for more than a few hours
• Extremely detail-oriented; prefer to complete tasks carefully + accurately, and double (or triple) check everything to ensure there are no mistakes.
• The opposite of a procrastinator; you would much rather complete tasks way before the deadline than be rushing to finish them at the last minute.
• Very organized and efficient (You get a thrill out of visiting the Container Store, and write things down on your to-do list even after you’ve done them…just for the fun of checking them off!)
• Exceptional written and spoken English skills; native or fluent speaker
• Excellent verbal processing skills; able to quickly and easily turn spoken instructions into written text or into a to-do list of specific tasks to complete
• Excellent at following directions. Prefer to ask questions immediately if instructions or expectations are unclear, rather than risk making a mistake.
• Internally motivated, and committed to doing excellent work even when no one is watching
• Good eye for design; enjoy making an effort to create things that are beautiful and functional
• Excited by the idea of being part of a small, growing business that has a positive impact on the lives of students and their families, and helps young adults in reaching their full potential (You’d love to feel like your work is making a difference in the world!)
