Responsibilities

Support execution of clearly defined marketing initiatives that are already planned or in progress—focused on content execution, CRM hygiene, and reporting support.
Support ongoing content execution by assisting with social media scheduling using pre-approved content calendars (3 posts per week), uploading blog posts or podcast-related assets prepared by Marketing leadership.
Assist with CRM and HubSpot support tasks, such as tagging contacts and companies correctly, uploading contact lists from approved sources, and verifying RFQ and campaign source data consistency.
Help compile basic marketing performance reports, including web traffic trends, social engagement metrics, and RFQ volumes tied to campaigns.

Assist the Marketing Manager with website and CMS-related housekeeping tasks as part of the HubSpot ecosystem (content uploads, link validation, form testing—no site architecture decisions).
Provide basic operational support that reduces administrative load without assuming ownership of customer accounts.
Assist Customer Account Specialists with order entry support, including validating purchase order completeness and ensuring pricing, part numbers, and quantities match approved quotes.
Enter or stage sales orders in ERP/CRM systems under supervision, following documented procedures.
Help maintain order status trackers and internal visibility tools for Sales and Operations.
Support internal communication by preparing draft order confirmations or internal status summaries for review before release.
Support ongoing raw material clean‑up and audit readiness work by performing data preparation, categorization, and visibility tasks—not negotiations or final decisions.
