October 17 Media is looking for a Junior Marketing & Administrative Assistant:

About You:
You are a positive person who enjoys working with people and loves to take initiative. You are already a bit of an internet whiz (you practically live on Facebook and Twitter!), but are still excited to learn more about websites, social media, online advertising, technology and design.

You are an active listener and you’ve often been told you have the patience of a saint! You love working with clients to create the best possible results for their web marketing projects. You love brainstorming great digital marketing ideas and always go the extra mile to make sure they turn out perfectly. That being said, your nerdy detail-oriented side comes out when it’s time to create elaborate proposals, invoices and work orders that need to be just-so!

If you’ve got some experience in design then that could be a bonus here! Experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign or XHTML would be an asset and the team would think you’re the bee’s knees if you don’t mind using those skills on occasion.

You are highly motivated and require little supervision to get things done. If you’re often late or not so organized this probably isn’t the role for you. We like this place to run ship shape! That being said we’ve also
been known to kick our heels up and have fun once in a while if all our ducks are in a row. Enthusiastic project support staff, apply within!

The Opportunity
You will work full time at the company’s office in downtown Vancouver, but are comfortable bringing your
own laptop to work on. Typical job responsibilities may include:

• Managing content for company blog.
• Editing web design layouts and doing basic web site updates.
• Monitoring and utilizing performance data from Google Analytics to improve marketing campaigns.
• Speaking with prospective and current clients to review their needs in order to create marketing
  campaign proposals that meet their requirements.
• Creating contracts, work orders and invoices and following up on overdue payments.
• General administration.

Your Skills & Experience

• Prior experience in marketing, particularly with web marketing services (e.g., social media, blogging,
  search engine optimization, paid search advertising and website design and development).
• Proficient with Microsoft Office, Email, and Internet Research.
• Experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and XHTML is a significant asset.
• Excellent communication skills and an open communication style.
• Strong interpersonal skills and phone skills.
• Very strong attention to detail.
