PART-TIME MARKETING MANAGER Wilson and Associates Coaching and Consulting, LLC Remote Contractor | 15-20 Hours/Week | $15-$20/Hour DOE Location: Remote. Must be available for at least one 3-hour block per week during Pacific Time (US) business hours Start Date: Immediate WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR You know how to get content out of someone else’s head and into the world without losing what makes their voice theirs. You are organized, consistent, and honest when something is not working. You do not wait to be told what is wrong. You flag it. You are comfortable working in multiple platforms at once, you can follow a brand guide without needing it explained twice, and you genuinely care about doing the work well, not just getting it done. You do not need to be a leadership expert to do this job. You do need to be the kind of person who reads the room, respects the voice you are working in, and takes ownership of the systems you are handed. If that sounds like you, keep reading. ABOUT THE FIRM Wilson and Associates Coaching and Consulting is an 18-year-old organizational development and leadership firm based in Los Angeles. Founder and CEO Chrysta Wilson has trained more than 15,000 leaders across nonprofits, government agencies, foundations, and corporate organizations. The work centers on the Pressure-Proof Teams™ methodology, and the firm’s clients are the people inside organizations who are trying to build cultures where people can actually do their best work. The marketing manager’s job is to make sure the right people find this firm, and find it consistently. WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW The firm’s first book, Pressure-Proof Teams™ by CEO Chrysta Wilson, releases July 20, 2026. We are currently 58 days out from launch. The first 6-8 weeks of this role will be heavily focused on book launch support: • Social content that builds awareness and drives pre-orders • Email campaigns in Keap • Reel/video management • Creating marketing materials for events and media appearances After launch, the role settles into the ongoing rhythm described below. WHAT YOU WILL OWN Content Calendar and Scheduling Own and maintain the monthly content calendar in Monday.com. Each month you and Chrysta meet to align on marketing goals and key messages. From there, you coordinate the content, get what you need from her, and make sure it goes out on time and on brand. • Own and maintain the monthly content calendar in Monday.com • Schedule and publish posts across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook using Buffer • Coordinate timing so content supports active campaigns, events, and launches Email Marketing Chrysta writes some emails herself. You will draft most of them. Either way, you are responsible for making sure they go out on time, reflect the brand voice, and land in the right inboxes. • Draft email campaigns and newsletters in Keap • Schedule and deploy emails with correct segmentation and tagging • Track open rates, click rates, and deliverability, and flag anything that needs attention • Maintain list hygiene and sequence integrity in Keap Content Repurposing Chrysta is the thought leader. She creates the source material. Your job is to take what she has recorded, written, or said, and get it out into the world in the right format for the right platform. You will not be generating ideas from scratch. You will be working from her actual words and frameworks. • Repurpose video recordings, transcripts, and session notes into social posts and email content • Use AI tools to assist with drafting, with the clear understanding that AI is a drafting aid, not the voice. All content must reflect Chrysta’s actual language and frameworks, not AI-generated approximations • Maintain a growing content library so strong content gets reused and nothing gets lost Social Media Engagement • Monitor and respond to comments on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook • Flag any comments or DMs that require Chrysta’s direct response • Track which posts are generating real conversation and report back Canva Graphics • Design social graphics in Canva using the firm’s brand colors, fonts, and style guide • Create promotional materials for events, trainings, and launches • Maintain organized, labeled Canva folders so the team can find what it needs Analytics and Reporting • Track performance across email (Keap) and social (Buffer) on a regular basis • Identify which content types, topics, and send times are driving the most engagement • Bring a brief monthly summary to the check-in with Chrysta Podcast Outreach Support • Research relevant podcasts and compile outreach lists//work on existing list • Draft pitch emails for Chrysta’s review and approval • Track outreach status and follow-up timing Book Launch and Event Marketing • Write and schedule social posts that build awareness and drive pre-orders for Pressure-Proof Teams™ • Design event graphics and promotional assets in Canva • Coordinate with Chrysta to make sure the right content is going out at the right time HOW WE WORK Each month, you and Chrysta align on marketing goals and current priorities. She feeds you content: recordings, notes, frameworks, and source material. You manage everything from that point forward. You meet once a week with Chrysta (Mondays) to discuss marketing. Twice a month you will also join a book launch check-in with Chrysta and the operations manager. These meetings are focused and purposeful. We do not use meeting time to catch up on things that should have been communicated already on Slack or Monday.com. Which brings us to Slack. Every working day, you will post a brief check-in: what you worked on, what you completed, and where you are stuck. This is not micromanagement. It is how we close the loop. Chrysta should not have to wait until the weekly meeting to find out something is behind or blocked. If you are stuck, say so the day you get stuck. That is how this team operates. You will need to be available for at least one 3-hour working block per week during Pacific Time business hours. The rest of your hours are yours to schedule. TOOLS YOU WILL USE • Project management: Monday.com • Social media scheduling: Buffer • Email marketing and CRM: Keap • Graphic design: Canva • Daily communication and check-ins: Slack • Platforms: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook • Collaboration: Google Workspace (Docs, Drive, Sheets) WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Required: • Demonstrated experience managing social media for a brand or business, not just personal use • Strong writing skills and the ability to write in a voice that is not your own • The ability to identify common AI writing patterns, including fragment pairs, rhetorical question hooks, and filler transitions, and flag them before content goes out • Experience with email marketing platforms (Keap, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, or similar) • Canva proficiency with the ability to follow an established brand style guide • Comfort using AI tools as a drafting aid, with a clear understanding that repurposing real content is not the same as generating generic output • Organized and self-directed: you manage your own deadlines without being chased • Responsive communicator: you flag problems early and you do it the day they happen, not at the next scheduled meeting ✨ Preferred: • Experience working with a consultant, coach, author, or thought leader • Familiarity with Buffer or similar scheduling tools • Experience supporting a book launch or product launch • Background working with nonprofits, mission-driven organizations, or social sector clients • Basic understanding of email list segmentation and analytics 🚨 WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT You are not being asked to be the strategic brain of the marketing function. That is Chrysta’s role. You are the person who makes sure the strategy actually executes and the content actually gets out. You will not generate thought leadership content from scratch. Everything you publish should trace back to something Chrysta actually said, wrote, or recorded. AI tools are welcome as a drafting aid. They are not a substitute for her voice. You will not be managing ad spend, building automations, or doing website development. Those are handled separately. HOW TO APPLY Submit a proposal that includes all four of the following. Applications without all four components will not be reviewed. 1. A brief introduction to your relevant experience. Tell us specifically where you have managed social media, email marketing, or content for someone other than yourself. If you have worked with a consultant, coach, or thought leader, say so. 2. Tell me your favorite food or the name of a movie you like. Be sure to include this so I know you read closely. 3. Your honest answer to this: You are two days out from a scheduled email going out. The draft is not ready and Chrysta has not responded to your messages. What do you do? ——————— Please note: Applications that demonstrate an understanding of voice-driven, thought-leadership marketing will receive priority consideration. Do not email the company directly; reply through Upwork. All emails will be deleted and the applicant will not be considered. Please share all responses here on Upwork. Thank you for your consideration.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Brand Designer Needed — Luxury Golf Brand (1-Week Logo Turnaround) About Solevaire Solevaire is a new luxury golf-lifestyle brand. Think Malbon Golf meets Louis Vuitton. Our flagship product is a premium leather golf shoe-care bag launching Holiday 2026. Phase 1 is complete. Brand positioning, color palette, and typography are locked. We have a strong direction on the monogram — including an S letterform I’ve personally developed. We need a designer to refine it, build the full suite around it, and move fast. Speed Matters This is a fast-turnaround project. We need the logo suite delivered within 1 week, with the full brand kit and wireframes wrapping shortly after. If you don’t have bandwidth to commit to that timeline, this isn’t the project for you. What We Need 1. Final Logo Suite (1 week) This project requires solid communication and active collaboration to finalize. We have clear vision on direction and will be hands-on in the process. We need a designer who can iterate quickly, share work in progress, and align live when needed. The logo suite includes three core deliverables: A. Master S Logo (top priority) First and foremost — a single Master S Logo that will be used as the brand’s standalone signature and always live within the broader identity. We already have a solid vision on this letterform, and we’ll collaborate closely on the final refinement. This same S becomes the foundation for everything else in the identity system — it must carry through into the SV monogram and the wordmarks below. Consistency across all marks is non-negotiable. B. Master SV Monogram One final, refined SV monogram built using the exact same S from deliverable A. The S does not get redrawn or restyled — it carries through. The V is then designed to interlock with that S, balanced and emboss-ready. Used on hero applications, packaging, and premium contexts. C. SOLEVAIRE Wordmark Variations (4 distinct fonts) Four different wordmark treatments so we can evaluate side by side and select the final direction. In each, the leading S should visually connect back to the Master S where appropriate: 1. Titleist-style wordmark. Replicating the visual feel of the Titleist logotype found on a golf ball — bold serif energy, refined and recognizable in the golf world. 2. Powerful high-luxury wordmark. A confident, high-contrast serif treatment in the spirit of Louis Vuitton or YSL. Maximum sophistication. 3. Cursive wordmark. A flowing script in the spirit of Malbon Golf. Soft, hand-drawn, modern golf culture energy. 4. Master wordmark. Your designer’s recommendation — the version you believe best captures Solevaire’s positioning. Bring your point of view. Plus the supporting system: • Primary lockup (monogram + wordmark + tagline) • Horizontal lockup • Heritage stamp / secondary marks • Emboss-ready and small-scale versions 2. High-Fidelity Website Wireframes For handoff to our webmaster. Homepage, product page, about, cart/checkout flow. 3. Brand Kit Delivery • Logo suite in vector + PNG • Color palette with hex codes (already defined) • Typography system (already defined) • Usage guidelines • Source files (.ai or .fig) Style Direction Modern golf culture meets luxury leather. Warm cognac tones. Cursive script energy. Minimal, confident, emboss-ready. North star references: Malbon Golf (especially how their wordmark and standalone M work as one identity system), Eastside Golf, Aimé Leon Doré. What to Send • Portfolio (luxury, fashion, or lifestyle work preferred) • Confirmation you can deliver the logo suite within 1 week • Confirmation you’re available for active collaboration during the project • Your rate • One sentence on how you’d approach Solevaire We move fast and communicate clearly. The right designer will love this project — clear direction, locked foundations, and a real product launch behind it.

About Us The Fox Moon Farm Project is a nonprofit in rural Virginia built on a simple belief: nature and animals heal. We provide equine and farm-based learning for individuals with special needs and for those carrying trauma — including county-funded youth and a women’s wellness program. Our work is hands-on, relational, and growing fast. The Role We’re looking for an organized, self-directed Virtual Administrative Assistant to become the operational backbone of the farm. You’ll start part-time and hourly, taking the recurring administrative load off the founder’s plate. As trust builds and the organization grows, so does the role — both in hours and in responsibility. This is a chance to grow with a mission you can feel good about. The work touches client records, county contracts, and financials, so discretion and reliability are essential. The founder is also very busy so this position requires someone who is a self-starter, is a “go-getter”, is hungry for work and can read minds. In all seriousness, we’re looking for a dynamic individual who loves to multi task and cross off their “to do” lists. What You’ll Do (this is a sampling) Scheduling & client registration • Schedule and confirm all daily sessions and coordinate calendars • Handle scheduling for farm tours • Register all new clients — including ensuring registration paperwork and liability/waivers are completed before the start date • Keep the client contact list current County contracts & billing • Manage contracts with County Social Services, updating every three months • Gather all session reports and complete monthly invoices for county clients, submitting to the founder for approval • Handle general invoicing and billing in QuickBooks Finance & accounting • Keep company taxes and financials updated monthly and yearly • Manage financial accounting in QuickBooks — track revenues and expenses and deliver reports to support strategic planning • Email and track all invoices, comparing and contrasting to the calendar to ensure all payments are made in a timely fashion. • Communicate directly with clients to follow up on payments due. Operations • Keep the Master To-Do list updated and help allocate tasks to get them across the finish line • And so much more…. Development & program outcomes • Research opportunities to support fundraising • Gather testimonials and reviews from parents and help update to website, social media, newsletter etc. • Send assessment forms to track client progress Marketing • Support marketing efforts: social media posting via Buffer, emails, one-pagers, newsletters, and other outreach What We’re Looking For • Strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently with minimal oversight • Comfort with QuickBooks and basic bookkeeping/financial reporting • Clear, professional written communication • A GO GETTER! • Knowledge of and comfort with working with Ai tools like Claude and ChatGpt • Discretion handling sensitive client and contract information • Familiarity with tools like Buffer, Google Workspace, and online scheduling (or quick to learn) • A genuine connection to our mission — bonus points for any background in nonprofits, education, social services, or animal/equine work • A big heart! The Details • Type: Hourly, 1099 contractor (with potential to grow into a longer-term part-time role) • Location: Fully remote • Hours: 10-15 hours/week to start, with room to grow

We are building an early-stage real estate data platform that collects, cleans, enriches, and serves public-record and legal-notice data for real estate investors and professionals. This is not a greenfield build. We already have an existing backend repo with API routes, database models, migrations, scraping workers, tests, Docker configuration, and cloud deployment pieces. We need a strong backend engineer who can step into the existing system, understand what is working, identify what is risky, and help us get the backend stable enough for launch. The right person is practical, scrappy, and comfortable working in a startup environment where the goal is not perfection. The goal is to find the highest-leverage path to a reliable product. The platform involves: -Public-record and legal-notice data -Property data enrichment -API endpoints used by a frontend application -Data quality, reliability, and launch-readiness Current Backend Stack The backend is built primarily in Python and includes: -FastAPI -SQLAlchemy and Alembic -Postgres / Google Cloud SQL -MongoDB helper/caching layer -Scraping and ETL pipeline for public-record and legal-notice data -Playwright/Patchright-based scraping -reCAPTCHA-aware scraping workflows -LLM-based data extraction / AI-assisted parsing of unstructured notice data -Pydantic models -Google Cloud integrations: Cloud Run, Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, Cloud Storage, Artifact Registry -Docker -Pulumi infrastructure-as-code -GitHub Actions CI/CD -pytest, Ruff, uv You do not need to be world-class in every tool listed above, but you should be strong enough in Python backend systems, scraping/data pipelines, and cloud deployment to quickly understand the architecture and make sound technical decisions. What We Need Help With We need someone who can: -Review and understand the current backend architecture -Stabilize and improve the scraping / ETL pipeline for public-record and legal-notice data -Make sure public-record and legal-notice data is collected, parsed, stored, and served correctly -Improve backend APIs used by the frontend -Improve data quality checks for incomplete, missing, or inconsistent property records -Build and maintain property enrichment workflows using external data sources -Help design database models for richer property history and event tracking -Improve LLM-assisted parsing of unstructured legal notice data where appropriate -Debug deployment, CI/CD, Cloud Run, and infrastructure issues -Improve logging, error handling, monitoring, and observability -Strengthen test coverage where it matters -Help document the backend so future developers can contribute -Coordinate with our frontend developer to support product launch -Help prioritize backend work based on launch impact, data reliability, and technical risk Who This Is For You are likely a strong fit if you: -Like working inside existing codebases -Can diagnose messy systems without needing everything rewritten -Think in practical tradeoffs, not just ideal architecture -Are comfortable with incomplete documentation -Have experience with scraping/ETL workflows and unstructured data extraction -Can explain technical risks clearly to a non-technical founder -Prefer shipping useful improvements over debating perfect abstractions -Are willing to own outcomes, not just complete assigned tickets Who This Is Not For This is probably not the right fit if you: -Only want clean, fully documented codebases -Prefer to rebuild from scratch by default -Need enterprise-level process before making progress -Are an agency sending rotating developers -Only want tightly defined tickets with no ambiguity -Are uncomfortable with scraping, data quality, or production debugging Hiring Process We want to keep the hiring process practical and focused on real work. 1. Initial Screening We will review your proposal, background, and screening question responses. 2. Real-World Technical Scenario Strong candidates may be asked to respond to a specific backend issue from our current roadmap. We are looking for how you think, what tradeoffs you notice, and how clearly you communicate. 3. Paid Finalist Review A small number of finalists may be invited to complete a paid review of the existing backend codebase before any larger implementation work begins. Budget / Working Style We are an early-stage company and are looking for a practical, startup-minded developer. This is a paid contract role, but we are not looking for enterprise-agency rates. We value clear communication, efficient execution, and someone who can help us prioritize the highest-leverage backend work first. The first paid technical review may be structured as a fixed-price milestone. Continued implementation work may be hourly or milestone-based depending on fit. Long-Term Opportunity Our goal is to find someone who can become a long-term backend partner for the product, not just complete isolated tickets. For the right person, there may be an opportunity to grow into a technical lead / backend ownership role with additional upside tied to company performance. We are looking for someone who wants to help take a real product to market, but the initial engagement will be paid, scoped clearly, and focused on proving mutual fit.
