• Use Sprout Social to schedule a full year’s worth of pre-approved content for 25+ franchisee accounts upon onboarding.
• Perform basic graphic design in Canva (flyers, local assets) and write/edit blog posts or basic marketing copy as needed.
• Act as the main point of contact for external vendors and internal franchisees to move projects through the pipeline.
• Maintain real-time updates of all onboarding tasks within ClickUp.

Minimum Requirements:

Language requirement: Excellent English Communication Skills

Education: Bachelor's Degree (ideally)

Experience: 4–5 years of experience in a project management related role requiring heavy coordination and deadline management. 

• Experience with project management and scheduling tools such as ClickUp (or similar tools like Asana/Monday) and Sprout Social (or similar scheduling tools).
• 3+ Years of experience in a marketing related role (social media, blog writing, content design and web development).
• Canva experience is ideal.
• Exceptional English (written and verbal) for professional coordination with US-based franchisees and vendors.
• A "figure-it-out" attitude; the ability to learn new systems quickly and take ownership of the process.

Preferred Background:

Prior exposure to Shopify/WordPress (website management side) and HubSpot (a plus).
