Title: Marketing & Operations Assistant Type: Contractor (Part-Time, ~20h/week, with potential to scale) Reports to: Project Manager and Producer Lead Works closely with: Junior Project Manager and production team.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a sharp, highly organized, and culturally fluent team member to support our Project Manager and Producer (Head of Production) and the broader production team with the day-to-day execution of marketing, content, and production activities across clients and initiatives.

This role focuses on preparing materials, organizing information, drafting communications, and executing operational tasks to help campaigns, content releases, and internal workflows move quickly and smoothly. You will help prepare marketing assets, update content materials, conduct research, coordinate meeting logistics, and support outreach and booking processes.

The role operates within strategies defined by the Production Lead and Project Managers and does not own project coordination or strategic decisions. Instead, it focuses on supporting execution by preparing materials and organizing resources, contributing to the reliability and speed of the team's work while maintaining organized systems and documentation.

Trolley operates with an AI-first mindset, and this role is expected to leverage tools to accelerate research, drafting, and workflow efficiency. This position begins as part-time, with the potential to expand hours as workload grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Draft marketing materials including communications, press releases, campaign messaging (hooks and captions), and announcements.
• Support copywriting and preparation of marketing assets, newsletters, documentation, and content updates for campaigns and launches.

• Support ClickUp task hygiene by ensuring tasks are properly labeled, prioritized, and updated.
• Gather and organize information to support projects, communications, and campaigns.
• Conduct research on people, organizations, events, and media opportunities to support bios, agendas, and talking points.
• Maintain organized documentation, marketing resources, and shared assets across Google Drive and ClickUp to ensure internal materials remain accessible.
• Assist in creating and updating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across the department.
• Maintain and update multi-platform content calendars in ClickUp under the direction of the Project Manager and Producer, ensuring accuracy and forward planning.
• Upload, schedule, and label content across platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack, YouTube) using tools such as Metricool.
• Support founder/client content distribution by sending reminders or ready-to-share assets through Slack or designated ClickUp channels.
• Maintain organized caption libraries, visual assets, and content trackers in ClickUp.
• Track and organize performance metrics across platforms to support marketing analysis.
• Gather updates and supporting information for reporting, and share weekly metric updates through ClickUp.
• Assist in preparing client reports summarizing actions taken, progress, and blockers.
• Provide operational support for content, membership, and campaign initiatives under the direction of the Project Manager.
• Assist with booking logistics and coordination for guests, partners, or collaborators (outreach tracking, confirmations, guidelines, reminders, and asset collection).
• Maintain organized trackers and ensure related materials are documented and accessible to the team.
• Organize assets, notes, and supporting materials ahead of recordings, events, or content releases, and flag missing information or delays to the Project Manager to help prevent last-minute blockers.
• Assist with publishing and distribution logistics across content and media channels following established workflows.
