Job Description - Marketing Coordinator/Account Manager

Marketing Coordinator / Account Manager


Employment Type: Part-time to potential Full-time transition, Independent Contractor


Work Model: Remote


Work Hours: US Business Hours alignment (Eastern Time)


Territory Focus: United States


Role Summary


We are seeking a versatile, highly organized Marketing Coordinator / Account Manager to serve as a key operational anchor across a growing portfolio of client accounts. Positioned at the intersection of project management, client execution, and content coordination, this role functions as a "strong number two" to agency leadership by ensuring deliverables move smoothly through the pipeline from concept to completion.


This is not a purely administrative role, nor is it a heavy creative role. The ideal candidate sits comfortably within the account management spectrum—capable of managing multi-project workflows across active accounts, coordinating with external creative freelancers, batch-producing monthly social media assets, and assembling clean, professional presentation decks for client reviews. We are looking for a proactive individual who takes ownership of account momentum and thrives in an agile agency environment.


Key Responsibilities



  • Project Management & Workflow Execution: Serve as the internal operational hub across active client accounts, keeping project timelines on track, monitoring contractor deliverables, and ensuring team members have the assets needed to meet deadlines.

  • Social Media Operations & Content Batching: Manage monthly social media content calendars, rephrase and adapt copy using AI tools and existing content libraries, request visual assets from third-party production artists, and schedule posts via publishing platforms (e.g., Buffer, Meta Business Suite).

  • Presentation Deck Assembly: Compile strategic campaign concepts, visual comps, and copy into polished, client-ready presentation decks for pitch meetings, strategy reviews, and campaign launches.

  • Account Administration & Client Support: Maintain comprehensive status reports across active projects, follow up on outstanding tasks, and gradually participate in virtual client meetings as trusted internal account support.


Required Skills & Qualifications



  • Agency & Marketing Experience: 3+ years of experience working as a Junior Account Executive, Marketing Coordinator, or Project Manager within a boutique advertising agency, marketing firm, or client-side marketing department.

  • Project Management Mastery: Exceptional organizational and tracking skills, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple overlapping projects across diverse client portfolios without letting details slip.

  • Content & Tech Stack Fluency: Familiarity with social media management software (Buffer, Meta Business Suite), basic digital asset workflows, and leveraging AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to rephrase and format marketing content efficiently.

  • Communication & Deck Creation: Excellent written and verbal English communication. Proficient in building clean, visually structured presentation decks (Google Slides, PowerPoint, Keynote) with high attention to detail.

  • Proactive Account Mindset: High degree of personal agency and self-direction. Ability to take high-level direction, anticipate next steps, and keep client work moving forward independently.


Success Metrics (KPIs)



  • On-Time Project Completion: Ensuring 100% of client deliverables and internal milestones progress according to schedule across all assigned accounts.

  • Content Execution Reliability: Seamlessly batching, compiling, getting approval on, and scheduling monthly social media assets well ahead of publishing deadlines.

  • Leadership Capacity Relief: Successfully absorbing day-to-day operational follow-ups, contractor coordination, and deck preparation to significantly free up executive leadership's strategic bandwidth.

  • Deliverable Quality & Accuracy: Delivering polished, publication-ready presentation decks and marketing collateral that require minimal revisions before client presentation.
