Location: International, Anywhere; 100% Remote
Digital Marketing Project Assistant
We are looking for a Digital Marketing Project Assistant to join our fully remote, fast-paced digital marketing agency. We are a warm and friendly international team of digital marketers, designers, and developers. Our people thrive in challenging situations and are dedicated to helping each other succeed.
We serve primarily American clientele. This means that you must have a native level of spoken English and excellent written English. You will be required to work during New York (EST) business hours.
About the Job
This is a job that could go by many names. Some people might call it a project manager, while others might say it’s a digital marketing manager, or even a customer account manager. You’ll need a project manager’s attention to detail, and a digital marketer’s quick thinking and ability to adapt to changing requests from your client. And you’ll need excellent client skills to ensure our client’s needs are met.
We work with a large number of clients in the health and beauty sector. Each Digital Marketing Assistant is directly responsible for the success of 10 – 15 clients. The type of work we do for each client is highly varied. Each day, you will work on a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: responding to clients’ queries and urgent requests, SEO work to improve a site’s ranking, ensuring a PPC campaign gets started, adding new assets to a website, working on a new website design, creating new copy for part of the site, etc.
Senior management will provide you with a strategy for each client, but you will be responsible for requesting and implementing it. We use a project management tool called Teamwork – all of our information is stored here and the Digital Marketing Assistant is responsible for keeping this repository up-to-date with all relevant client information.
Due to the pace and complexity of our work, this position is only appropriate for highly motivated self-starters. You will be trained thoroughly and given support throughout your tenure at our company. Due to the long ramp-up period required, we ask that all new employees be able to commit to at least one year with us.
