Summary

Title: Marketing & Admin Assistant to Build Our Agency's Profile (Research, Outreach, Submissions) About us: We're a specialist marketing agency working with law firms, private healthcare, and financial services. We've been heads-down on client delivery and now want to build our own profile. We're looking for a detail-oriented, reliable assistant to take ownership of the research and outreach that raises our visibility. This starts as a focused role and can grow into a broader, ongoing admin position for the right person. What you'll do: Research and compile lists of PR, podcast, and speaking opportunities relevant to our agency and our sectors Identify the right outlets and contacts from sources like X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and industry/PR sites Analyse competitors' backlink profiles in Ahrefs to find their high-authority, relevant links, and compile a target list for us to pursue and replicate Help secure those placements through listings, submissions, and outreach Draft and send outreach messages using templates we'll provide Complete award submissions against deadlines, pulling the required information into the right format Log your work in a shared tracker and send a short weekly summary General marketing and admin support as the role develops How we work: Outreach should be considered and relevant, never blasted. Quality over volume. We only pursue legitimate, high-quality links. No spammy or low-quality link building. You'll see our internal pipeline and strategy, so we'll ask you to sign an NDA before you start. We'll provide the tools you need, including a seat on our Ahrefs account, plus spreadsheets and outreach templates. You're a good fit if you: Are highly organised and accurate, and don't drop details Write clear, professional English Are comfortable using a backlink analysis tool (Ahrefs or similar) and can judge which links are genuinely high quality and relevant Are comfortable working independently and managing your own task list Have some experience with research, outreach, or virtual assistant work Are reliable on deadlines and communicate proactively Can give us a few hours of overlap with UK working hours and reply to messages within one business day How it works: After a short shortlist, we'll run a small paid trial task so we can both see if it's a good fit before settling into a regular arrangement. To apply: Tell me briefly about a time you managed a repetitive research or outreach task, and roughly how many opportunities or entries you got through. Please start your reply with the word "Searchable" so I know you've read this.
