Marketing/Admin Job Role - March 2022

The following information is for anyone interested in the position within Flat Out International advertised on Facebook in March 2022.  It should give you an idea of the kind of person I am looking for and some detail on the kinds of activities the role would involve.

Abilities and Personal Attributes

My ideal candidate is an outgoing people person (I want to work with someone who is fun!), with strong ethics and derives joy from achievement.

You love social media and how it can be used positively to connect with people.

You possess a healthy balance between creativity and practicality. You have an eye for design and enjoy being creative, but are also task oriented and can use those skills to get things done, then can assess the statistics to make improvements.

You have a proven ability to use/learn new software – that’s essential. For example: Canva or other graphics tools, take/optimise photos, basic video edits for socials, can learn to edit content on website.

Normal business skills such as ability to spell, proof read, write professionally, make phone calls and so on are needed. You like variety, as there are lots of different things to do, so it won’t get boring!

Having an understanding consumer behaviour and how to tap into a target market and harness their psyche is ideal but can also be learned. I am not setting any pre-requisites on experience, I’m curious to learn from you why you think you fit this role.

Practical Details

I work from home, near Nobbys Beach (Port Mac) and need face-to-face at least to start with. No school holiday work will be required but if you do want work through those times, it can be arranged once you can work without needing regular direction from me.

Hours are negotiable, but in my mind, we start with 5-10 hours a week. We have excellent potential to increase if that’s what you want. It depends on your learning curve, initiative and how effective the work you do is. (The more effective your work, the more the business grows. As the business grows, so do the number of things I can get you to help with, and of course the funds available to pay you from will grow too!)
