Part-Time Marketing Operations Assistant I’m looking for a reliable, highly organized Marketing Operations Assistant to provide behind-the-scenes support for ongoing marketing, outreach, and project-based work within my consultancy. This is a part-time contractor role for someone who is comfortable taking a project plan and helping turn it into organized, completed work. The position will involve research, outreach preparation, tracking, coordination, and general marketing operations support.

All client communication, strategic decisions, and final approvals will go through me. Responsibilities Your responsibilities may include: * Turning project notes and priorities into organized task lists * Maintaining project timelines, spreadsheets, and outreach trackers * Conducting online research related to businesses, organizations, media, communities, vendors, and potential partners * Organizing contact information and research findings * Drafting outreach emails, direct messages, and follow-up messages for review * Tracking outreach activity, responses, and next steps * Researching vendors, services, pricing, and project requirements * Collecting and organizing quotes or relevant information * Supporting recruitment-related tasks, such as organizing applications and scheduling interviews * Creating checklists for campaigns, events, or other marketing initiatives * Helping coordinate materials, deadlines, schedules, and project details * Preparing weekly progress updates and project recaps * Organizing documents, links, assets, and supporting materials * Reviewing work for accuracy and completeness before submission * Completing revisions based on feedback This role will not involve communicating directly with clients unless the position changes in the future. What I’m Looking For You may be a strong fit if you: * Have excellent written English * Are highly organized and comfortable managing several moving pieces * Have strong online research skills * Can write clear, natural, and professional outreach messages * Are comfortable working in spreadsheets, shared documents, and project-management tools * Can follow detailed instructions and established processes * Take initiative when completing clearly assigned work * Review your own work carefully before submitting it * Can identify missing information and ask focused questions * Can manage recurring deadlines without frequent reminders * Communicate clearly about progress, delays, or potential issues * Are comfortable receiving and applying feedback * Can maintain confidentiality regarding projects, clients, materials, and internal processes Previous experience in marketing operations, project coordination, outreach, virtual assistance, recruitment coordination, events, or administrative support is preferred. Hours and Compensation * Approximately 7 hours per week to start * Potential to increase to 10 hours per week during busier project periods * Starting rate of $10 USD per hour * Paid 30-day trial * Potential for a longer-term opportunity * Flexible working hours, provided deadlines are consistently met * Independent contractor position Approved weekly hours should not be exceeded without prior permission. What Success Looks Like The right person will help keep projects organized and moving forward without requiring constant follow-up. I should be able to provide the week’s priorities, receive organized and accurate completed work, review a clear summary of progress, and quickly identify anything that requires my decision. This role is best suited for someone who enjoys creating order, following through on details, and making sure tasks do not get lost or delayed. How to Apply Please include: 1.
