Key Responsibilities

Digital Asset Management (The "Toolkit" Creator). The Coordinator works with your Malaysian Graphic Designer to ensure the brand has a constant supply of:

• Performance Creative: Managing the production of high-converting Meta/TikTok ads (static and video).


• Affiliate "Swipe" Kits: Creating pre-approved sets of Instagram Stories, captions, and email templates that affiliates can download and use instantly.


• Lander Optimization: Coordinating updates to landing pages that specifically "sell the dream" of the business model.

• The "Passion" Recruitment Campaign: Running ads and outreach specifically to find people who love your niche but don't know they can get paid for it yet.


• Flash Sale Coordination: Syncing the designer, the email list, and the affiliate base so everyone promotes the same product at the same time for maximum impact.


• Educational Webinars/Lives: Hosting or coordinating live sessions that teach affiliates how to sell your product effectively, increasing their LTV (Lifetime Value).

Qualifications

• Academic Background: Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field.


• D2C Expertise: 2+ years of experience in Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) or E-commerce marketing. Experience in the sporting goods or fitness industry is a major plus.


• Affiliate Management: Proven track record of managing affiliate or "ambassador" programs, specifically moving beyond just "paying for posts" to building high-LTV partnerships.


• Startup Agility: Experience in a pre-launch or early-stage environment; you are comfortable building processes where none exist yet.

• Creative Direction: Ability to translate high-level brand goals into specific "briefs" for graphic designers, specifically for Meta and TikTok performance creative.


• Tools of the Trade: Proficiency with Asana/Trello (or similar project management tools), Google Analytics, and affiliate tracking software (e.g., Refersion, GoAffPro, or Involve Asia).


• Funnel Awareness: Understanding of the "Lander" journey—knowing what makes a landing page convert a "cold" lead into a passionate affiliate.

• Bilingual Mastery: Native-level fluency in English and Bahasa Malaysia. Must be able to write "Swipe Kits" and captions that sound natural and persuasive in both languages.


• Local Nuance: Deep understanding of the Malaysian "social commerce" culture (how to leverage WhatsApp, Telegram, and TikTok Live for sales).

• The "First-Principles" Thinker: You don't just follow a checklist; you look at the goal and design the most efficient process to get there.


• Task-Oriented Problem Solver: You take pride in "closing the loop"—if a designer is stuck or an affiliate is confused, you proactively find the fix.


• Entrepreneurial Drive: A genuine passion for sports and the "hustle" of building a new brand from the ground up.
