Why We’re Hiring
As our client base continues to grow, we are looking for a dedicated Marketing Assistant to join our production team. While our Account Managers focus on onboarding and building the strategic foundation of the marketing funnel, our team of Marketing Assistants is responsible for fueling and growing that funnel through high-volume, high-quality output. This is a hands-on position for someone who wants to master the art of digital execution alongside a group of like-minded creatives.
Who You Are
This role is the perfect fit if you are:
- A proactive, creative thinker who takes full ownership of the work, with a genuine passion for social media, storytelling, travel, and helping hospitality brands grow.
- A time management pro who is focused, efficient, detail-oriented, and able to maintain high-quality work, even with repetitive or detail-heavy tasks.
- A fast learner eager to take initiative, comfortable with self-guided problem-solving, and excited to grow.
- Adaptable and unbothered by shifting priorities in a fast-moving, startup-style environment.
Summary of Role
As a Marketing Assistant, you play a key role in carrying out the day-to-day marketing for a portfolio of client accounts. Your primary focus is producing and scheduling Instagram/Facebook Reels and biweekly email campaigns using our in-house content production platform. You’ll review and refine each piece so it helps clients grow a loyal, engaged audience, stay top of mind, and drive direct bookings. This is a hands-on, high-output role for someone who thrives on the execution side of marketing, turning strategy into polished, on-brand deliverables across multiple brands. Working closely with the Account Management team, you will help keep client marketing moving forward through consistent content production, strong attention to detail, and reliable execution.
Key Responsibilities
- Social Media Content Creation: Create and schedule compelling short-form content, including Reels, Carousels, and Stories, that hooks viewers instantly, highlights each brand’s value, encourages engagement, and turns viewers into interested potential guests.
- Email Marketing Execution: Create and schedule biweekly email campaigns tailored to each client’s brand, audience, and goals using a mix of value-driven and promotional content to nurture the audience, build trust over time, and drive direct bookings.
- Account Management Support: Assist Account Managers with additional tasks as needed to support day-to-day client management and overall account success.
- Project Management: Manage tasks and deadlines within Asana to maintain an organized workflow and provide the Account Management team with visibility into the production pipeline.
- Team Collaboration: Work closely with the team to support client success, share feedback, and contribute to a strong, collaborative environment as the company grows.
- Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Take initiative in identifying new ideas, creative opportunities, and process improvements that strengthen content performance and improve execution.
Qualifications
Must-Have:
- Passion for short-form video content and a strong sense of what makes a Reel perform (hooks, pacing, music, captions), plus the ability to follow visual and copy-based content templates.
- Comfortable working with AI tools, with a sharp editorial eye: able to review drafts critically and refine copy and visuals so they’re accurate, on-brand, and engaging.
- Confident using Instagram features, including Reels, Stories, tagging, commenting, and DMs.
- Strong Canva skills and a good eye for clean, on-brand design.
Good to Have:
- Prior experience with social media marketing/management in a professional setting.
- Experience with CapCut, the Instagram editor, or similar video editing tools.
