Hey! We’re looking for an Operations Coordinator.

We're seeking someone with experience managing multiple projects across different teammates and timelines. You’ll be the bridge between our clients and teammates, helping everyone get their work done within scope, on budget and on time.

You’ll be working with a small, young but mighty team. We come to work with enthusiasm and take pride in supporting the people around us.

Frankly, this isn’t the kind of job that will lead to full-time hours. It’s a steady part-time and remote position. We’re open to freelancers who are looking for a side hustle or another VA client.

About Us

We're Findable Digital Marketing and we make businesses easy to find online. We’re a boutique digital marketing agency and most of our clients are in the design-build industry. We're a remote-first company and our headquarters is in Toronto, Canada.

Pay & Hours

Hourly Wage: $27 to $30 CAD – Open to freelancers
Location: Remote, Ideally Canada
Commitment: Part-time – About 10 hours/week or 2.5 hours/day
Deadline: June 20, 2024
Start Date: Immediately

Skills

You have more or less 3 years of experience in administration or operations. In previous jobs, you had to coordinate between people and keep tabs on multiple projects at the same time.
You’re a strong communicator. You’re not shy to be assertive. You know how to set boundaries firmly yet kindly when teammates are behind their deadlines or clients ask for more than agreed. You know how adapt your tone and language to different personalities and circumtances.
You’re super duper meticulous. Some people may find your attention to detail annoying. We find it valuable. You’re the kind of person who gets a high from crossing tasks off your to-do list, finding small ways to improve processes, and catching details before they become problems.
Open to learning about website design and digital marketing. You may have some experience designing a website. You’re not a professional but you know the terminology and keep up with our team.
You’re highly proactive. We’re a small and young team, and if you’re willing to take initiative, you’ll do well.
Independent, punctual and work remotely. You’re comfortable working on your own and managing your time.
You're already online during office hours. It’s best to do this job in small but frequent chunks – about 2.5 hours a day. This position could be great for someone who already is a freelance VA and looking for another client.
