Executive Assistant / Marketing Operator (Contract, High Ownership)
Overview
I’m looking for a highly capable Executive Assistant / Marketing Operator to act as my right hand across several consumer, gaming, and blockchain projects.
This is not a traditional VA role.
You will own outcomes, execute independently, and run marketing, outreach, and community systems end-to-end once strategy is aligned. I’ll set direction and priorities — you’ll handle execution, organization, and optimization.
If you’ve already done this kind of work before and don’t need hand-holding, this role will feel natural.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Marketing & Growth Execution
Funnel consumers into products via organic + automated marketing
Manage TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X posting and engagement
Set up and manage TikTok Shop (products, creatives, optimization)
Create short-form content using AI tools (Nano Banana, VO3, etc.)
Write outbound copy for
Consumers
Influencers / affiliates
Investors (once traction exists)
Follow up, nurture leads, and book calls on my calendar (I close)
Outreach & Automation
Build and manage outreach systems (LinkedIn included)
Automate lead generation, follow-ups, and basic CRM workflows
Help select and implement the marketing stack (CRM, email, automation)
Maintain clean organization in Notion (tasks, pipelines, processes)
Community & Brand Management
Moderate and manage Discord
Speak as the brand in DMs, comments, and community channels
Run giveaways, activations, and community initiatives
Maintain brand voice and consistency across platforms
Creative & Execution Support
Create and edit graphics (Figma preferred, Canva acceptable)
Prepare marketing assets for campaigns and launches
Ensure storefronts, landing pages, and listings look polished
Required Experience (Non-Negotiable)
Excellent written English (deal-breaker if not)
Proven experience in marketing execution, not theory
Experience with
TikTok / Instagram / Twitter/X
TikTok Shop or e-commerce funnels
Outreach and lead generation systems
CRM setup and basic automation
Strong organizational skills (you naturally structure chaos)
Comfortable making decisions independently and then syncing with me
Fully behind-the-scenes (no camera-facing work required)
Strong Bonuses (Big Plus)
Kickstarter or crowdfunding campaign experience
Gaming industry experience
Blockchain / crypto familiarity
Affiliate or influencer program management
AI-first workflows and automation mindset
Role Structure & Compensation
Contractor role
Hourly pay (flexible hours week-to-week)
~20–40 hours depending on workload
Eastern Time overlap required
Performance bonuses and revenue-based incentives possible over time
Who This Role Is NOT For
Entry-level VAs
People who need step-by-step instructions
Poor communicators
“Strategy-only” marketers who don’t execute
Anyone uncomfortable owning outcomes
