Position Overview

We're looking for a methodical executor. Someone who thrives on checklists, timelines, clean systems, and well-run processes.If you're the kind of person who catches typos no one else sees, color-codes your Google Drive folders, and always knows what's due next week (and who's responsible for it), you'll love this role.

Your focus will be to help execute structured marketing plans, coordinate seasonal operations, and manage internal projects. You'll own the details, keep our systems tight, and support a smooth rhythm of work across two seasonal businesses.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in an orderly, behind-the-scenes role - keeping projects moving, organizing data and checklists, and making sure the trains run on time.

This Role Is NOT : Strategic marketing planning - the plan is already mostly built; your job will be to carry it out.

It is also not Design-focused - basic formatting is helpful, but no graphic design is required.

Key Responsibilities

Marketing Operations

Manage and send email, social media, and print marketing campaigns

Maintain marketing calendars, templates, contact lists, and content libraries

Format and prepare flyers, postcards and postcard lists, and proposals

Track campaign data and organize it for easy reporting

Client & Project Support

Occasionally send proposals and quotes to clients

Track seasonal project timelines and ensure nothing slips through the cracks

Keep client experiences consistent by managing documentation and internal feedback

Ensure repeatable task lists are completed consistently

Team Support & Admin

Manage interns and part-time employee onboarding and scheduling

Review resumes, organize applications, and conduct interviews

Manage projects using Asana

Provide administrative support to the sales team

Data & Process Management

Use Excel and CRM tools to organize data and generate reports

Help update and maintain internal systems for tracking performance

Recommend and implement process improvements (templates, SOPs, etc.)

Ideal Fit

2+ years in an admin, project coordinator, or marketing assistant role

You're methodical, task-driven, and get satisfaction from following processes

You love lists, systems, and keeping things orderly

You're strong in Google Suite, CRMs, and project tools like Asana

You communicate clearly and professionally (especially in writing)

Like working independently, checking things off, and hitting deadlines

A natural organizer that loves improving systems and workflows.

Can manage interns or entry-level team members with clear expectations and follow-up

Bonus : You've worked in a seasonal or small business setting

Associate's or Bachelor's degree preferred

Why You'll Like It Here

Monday-Friday flexible schedule

PTO, 401(k) match, and health insurance

Variety in tasks depending on season - planning in winter and Spring, executing in summer / fall

Balance of in-office and remote work. Enjoy the flexibility to choose when to work from home or in the office for much of the year. During peak season, you'll primarily be in the office but still have the option to start your day at home and come in later or leave early and wrap up remotely.

Ongoing training & professional development opportunities

We're a small, close-knit company, and while this provides a collaborative environment and the chance to have a direct impact, it also means our organizational structure is quite flat with limited upward mobility into "managerial positions". Growth here is less about climbing a ladder and more about gaining depth of experience.

Compensation :

Base Salary + Performance-Based Bonuses = Total Estimated Compensation of $65,000 - $80,000, depending on experience and skills.
