Marketing Assistant

Marketing Assistant

overview

Alchemy+Aim is a website development company, specializing in helping mission-based organizations, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs. We couple strategic business, website, and technology solutions that fit our clients’ needs with the right team to help them share their knowledge and stories, step further into their genius, and make an impact. We build premium, high-quality websites that last our clients years — and evolve with them as they grow.

basics of the position

  • This position is remote and part-time. While you can be anywhere, we do ask you be available during standard 9am-5pm EST operating hours so you can work most effectively with our team.
  • You would be updating our website with blog posts and updated content. This includes closed captioning videos, adding blog posts, and updating our portfolios.
  • You would be managing our social media schedule and helping promote our clients on a regular basis. This includes creating new content for Instagram, improving past Instagram content that can be reused, and creating a strategy for LinkedIn posts and connections. We do not use Facebook, Twitter, or Tiktok as part of our content strategy.
  • You would create monthly reports to show what type of content (on which platforms) is getting the best response and traction.
  • You would work with the company founder to create connections with new collaborators and referral partners.
  • You would be communicating with the team regularly. We use Slack for regular communication and Basecamp for project management. There are also some monthly team meetings and individual meetings.

job benefits

  • You can work from anywhere. No moving for a job involved. If you’re happy where you are, stay there. If you’re unhappy, move somewhere new. This job will go with you. (If you want to spend a month working from the Italian countryside or on a beach in Costa Rica — we do that sometimes, more power to you.)
  • You have flexible hours. You would need to be mainly between 9am and 5pm EST, as we and most of our clients operate on that schedule, but there’s also some flexibility built into the system.
  • You’ll be a contractor but you’re part of our team. We want to make sure you’re the right fit for us and we’re the right fit for you. There is always a chance this could turn into a full-time position for the right person with the right skills.

skills & requirements

You must have at least 1 year of marketing experience. More importantly, you need to love working with people, particularly clients.

Other skills:

  • You know how to work with Canva.
  • You have experience using Instagram and LinkedIn (general posting and tagging) and have done so for past clients.
  • You have worked with Mailchimp before and are comfortable using it to send newsletters.
  • You have experience updating content on WordPress websites.
  • You have experience working in customer service.

This position IS for you if:

  • You take pride and ownership in your work and actions. Each team member is a leader in this company and should be willing to own everything you do.
