What We're Looking For (Skills & Qualifications): - Must be comfortable using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or similar—no prior agency tools needed; we'll train you). - Experience with professional outreach on LinkedIn, email, Instagram, or similar platforms (sending personalized messages through business accounts). - Strong attention to detail for research and data organization. - Basic understanding of digital marketing concepts (e.g., CRM, lead generation). - Ability to work independently in a remote, contractor environment. - Must be available for at least 2 hours during NYC business hours (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Eastern Time) for time-sensitive coordination tasks. - Bonus Points (Preferred Qualifications): - Experience with EspoCRM (our primary CRM system). - Familiarity with n8n or other workflow automation tools. - Experience with open-source marketing tools (we use several open code platforms). - Portfolio showing proposal/research work (class projects welcome!). - Understanding of data-driven growth (vs. "vanity metric" marketing).
