Job Description

Position: Project & Marketing Operations Support - 14864

Work Hours (Client):8 AM-5 PM, Eastern Standard Time

Fee: $1800 - $2500 (Depending on location and experience)

Sourcing location:Global

Role Overview

The client is upgrading a hands-on “task executor” role into a project-owning, outcomes-driven operator who can run the end-to-end workflow for product launches and Meta creative production. You’ll  partner with a small pod (design, video, approvals, and media buying), keep timelines tight, and ensure every asset is ready for deployment—with a focus on building ads in Meta (Ads Manager placement, formats, specs), not day-to-day media buying/optimization.

Preparing ads for launch will be roughly 50% of your time. The rest of your time will be project managing marketing calendars, organizing the workflow for event invitations and doing project management work as it comes up. It’s possible that there will be some media buying for TikTok, where your skills will also be leveraged.

This is a fast-moving startup environment; the client needs a self-directed learner who embraces change, brings marketing judgment, and sweats the details.

* On-time launches: 95%+ of planned campaigns launch on or before the committed date.
* Clear communication across team members in terms of your deliverables, timeline,  completion and weekly output
* Right-first-time assets: <2% rework due to specs/QA errors across formats (feed, Reels, Stories).
* Predictable throughput:  40 new meta ad variants shipped per week
* Documentation: Up-to-date SOPs, checklists, and trackers that anyone can follow.

Core Responsibilities
* Project Management for Launches: Build backwards timelines and launch ads
