Primary Responsibilities

  • Attending client meetings, taking detailed notes, assigning tasks, checking assignments, partnering with the team and communicating with clients is your thing. 
  • You love the nitty gritty. You cross-check, double check, and ensure the “to do” list is complete. If something is in question, you push back to get clarification. 
  • Digital checklists and systems excite you. You appreciate pen and paper, but you work quickly navigating project management tools and leveraging platforms like Asana and Google Drive to get the job done.

  • You’re quick to learn. If you don’t know the answer, you google to find the right solution.
  • If it’s unclear to you what needs to happen or if you don’t see the big picture, you ask. 
  • You have basic knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, WordPress and scheduling tools. You aren’t afraid to jump in and make a quick edit or schedule a post.
