Job Title: Marketing Coordinator / Assistant (Remote)

About the Role

We're seeking a proactive, detail-oriented Marketing Coordinator / Assistant to support the personal brand and business platforms of a successful entrepreneur, a writer, designer, content creator, and founder of the “How To Work Less” platform. This is a unique opportunity for someone who loves social media, entrepreneurship, productivity, and has a sharp eye for design—even if it’s just through Canva or Adobe.

This role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives with independence, communicates clearly, and is excited about working closely with a seasoned entrepreneur. You’ll get behind-the-scenes access to a high-functioning digital business and receive ongoing mentorship in marketing, content strategy, and business systems.

🧠 What You’ll Do

This is a hybrid marketing/operations role with a mix of creative and administrative responsibilities. Tasks may include:

  • Scheduling, writing, and posting content across platforms (Instagram, YouTube, newsletters, etc.)
  • Managing and updating the content calendar to keep everything ahead of schedule
  • Repurposing existing content (podcasts, newsletters, blog posts) into bite-sized posts, graphics, or short videos
  • Light design work using Canva or Adobe tools based on existing templates and brand guides
  • Engaging with followers and managing community interactions
  • Organizing and updating marketing systems, such as email campaigns, Notion dashboards, and SOPs

We’re looking for someone who’s independent, organized, and takes initiative. Here’s what’s important:

Must-Have Qualities:

  • Proactive problem-solving: You identify issues and bring forward thoughtful solutions
  • Self-starter: You don’t wait to be told what to do—you figure things out and move quickly
  • Typing speed and attention to detail: Accuracy and speed are indicators of your productivity
  • Creativity and taste: You have a good eye and can work within existing design frameworks
  • Strong communication skills: You know when to update, ask questions, or flag problems
  • Experience in digital marketing or working with creators/influencers
  • Familiarity with Instagram, YouTube, ConvertKit, and basic design tools (e.g., Canva, Figma)
  • Notion fluency: You’re comfortable navigating, updating, and building basic workflows

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Video editing (Premiere Pro, After Effects)
  • Experience with LinkedIn, TikTok, or other platforms
  • Notion database building or workspace setup
  • Copywriting or light web development skills
  • Familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude

🌱 What You Get

  • Mentorship & growth: Learn directly from a proven entrepreneur
  • Skill development: Access to tools, systems, and courses to level up
  • Autonomy: Freedom to work independently with daily async check-ins
  • Upward mobility: Opportunity to evolve into strategic marketing or operations roles based on performance

What to Expect

We value a positive attitude, coachability, and a growth mindset. You’ll be given clear direction, resources, and past examples to build from—but we expect you to take ownership and help keep the brand running smoothly across all channels.
