• Coordinate schedules, meetings, and client journey touchpoints from preparation to follow-up
• Track project deliverables and ensure timely completion across all initiatives
• Create marketing materials and one-pagers using Canva with strong visual design skills
• Build and maintain prospect lists while documenting and improving internal processes
• Provide strategic input on content improvement for sales materials, presentations, and website copy

• Bonus if you have experience in startup environments or client service businesses
