Job Description

Background

We are not a big company, but we have big dreams. We're a tight-knit crew fighting to make our mark, and we know there are no shortcuts. The only path to where we want to go is through hard work, focus, and a whole lot of heart. We're building this from scratch, and every single person on the team is critical to our success.

The Right Fit for Our Team

Skills can be taught, but attitude is everything. We need someone who gets our culture and is ready to live it every day. Here’s who we’re looking for:

  • You're a Team Player, Period. We win and lose as one. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and help a teammate without being asked. There are no silos here.
  • You Have Grit. When you hit a wall, you don't give up. You get resourceful, you figure it out, and you find a way through. We need problem-solvers, not just task-doers.
  • You Ask Questions. There are no stupid questions here, only the ones you were too afraid to ask. If you don't know, you ask. If you're unsure, you clarify. We value honesty and learning over pretending.
  • You Live by "If Cannot Also, Must Can." This is our unofficial motto. It's the mindset that no challenge is too big and "no" is not the final answer. It’s about perseverance and an absolute refusal to fail.
  • You're Ready for the Grind. We need to be crystal clear: this is not a cruise. The only way we achieve our big dreams is with sweat, blood, and tears. We are looking for people who want to be in the trenches with us, building something amazing. This is an all-or-nothing mission. Either you're in, or you're not.

  • Help research competitors, trends, and audience insights to inform content ideas.
  • Contribute ideas during brainstorming sessions for campaigns and social media themes.

  • Monitor the performance of copy-driven content and help identify opportunities for improvement.

Collaboration

  • Work with creative and strategy teams to ensure content is aligned and delivered on time.
  • Participate in internal discussions to understand client requirements and messaging direction.

  • Good project and time management skills - able to juggle multiple tasks and deadlines.
  • Proficiency in Google Workspace (Slides, Sheets, Docs) for drafting, planning, and collaborating with the team.
  • Basic to intermediate understanding of Digital Marketing, including how content supports campaigns, funnels, and brand awareness.
  • Basic understanding of how digital ads work (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.) and how copy plays a role in ad performance.
  • Bonus: Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) for basic creative tweaks or collaborating with designers.
