The Administrative and Marketing Assistant position exists in our organization to handle traditional daily administrative tasks, such as phone answering, appointment scheduling, mail processing, email management, light bookkeeping, data entry, and sales & marketing-related tasks. In general, the goal of this role is to relieve the business owner and other staff of as many administrative tasks as possible.
This person also plays the role of assistant to the Project Manager. This involves, in whatever capacity the Project Manager instructs, helping keep 40+ fast-paced, very complex search engine optimization (SEO) and internet marketing projects moving ahead smoothly and on time. For example, this can involve compiling and/or sending reports to clients, scheduling project conference calls, following up with clients to collect required information, or any other task that the Project Manager assigns to help keep a project moving forward.
This employee is expected to bring new levels of efficiency to the organization, so that additional projects and clients can be taken on without the need for additional resources.
This role does have great potential for advancement in one of several different directions. Since this is a broad role that lightly touches many functional areas such as marketing, accounting, sales, project management, and even technical work like SEO and PPC analysis – the person in this role could ultimately evolve into a more focused position in any one of those areas depending upon strengths displayed and performance achieved.
