Jr. Marketing Coordinator

This role starts part-time and converts to full-time as client volume grows. The conversion isn't a fixed date — it's tied to Heartland Digital's active client count and the hours needed to service them, and the coordinator has direct influence over that: the networking and onboarding responsibilities below are how they help build the book of business that justifies the full-time seat.

What You'll Do

Client relationships

• Own day-to-day communication for a portfolio of Heartland Digital clients — status updates, expectation-setting, and being the first point of contact when something needs attention.
• Track every open commitment per client and flag anything at risk of slipping before the client has to ask.

Deliverable quality

• Review content, campaigns, and reports before they go to the client — catch errors, inconsistencies, and gaps in the work other team members and vendors produce.
• Confirm each deliverable matches what was actually promised in the scope, not just that something shipped.

Client onboarding

• Run new clients through onboarding: intake, account setup, and getting them into the right service tier (Prove It / Build It / Run It).
• Coordinate the handoff from sales to delivery so nothing gets lost in the transition.

Networking

• Represent Heartland Digital at local business and referral-partner events.
• Help build and maintain referral relationships that bring in new client opportunities.

Vendor and resource coordination

• Manage vendor relationships and billing — invoices, scope confirmation, payment timing.
• Coordinate offshore/contract resources on deliverables, keeping their work on schedule and on spec.

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience in marketing, account coordination, or client-facing project work.
• Detail-oriented, with a genuine instinct for finding what's wrong before a client does — you'd rather flag a defect than let it ship.
• Comfortable running several client accounts and workstreams at once without dropping any of them.
• Motivated by client outcomes — you want to see the goal hit, not just the task closed.
• Adaptable across fast-changing priorities; can move between a client call, a vendor invoice, and a deliverable review in the same hour without losing the thread.
• Genuinely comfortable with technology and AI tools as part of daily work — this isn't a role for someone who treats AI as optional.
• Has used (or can quickly learn) project management and time-tracking tools.
• Can manage vendor relationships and billing without hand-holding.
• Comfortable directing and checking the work of offshore or contract resources.
• Takes direction well, and is comfortable figuring out ambiguous things without a script for every situation.

Compensation & Growth Path

Base salary/hourly rate plus upside tied to client results, amount based on candidate fit.

Part-time to full-time is performance-linked: as the coordinator helps grow and retain the client base (through onboarding quality and networking), the hours and pay convert toward full-time. State the specific trigger before posting — a client count, a revenue figure, or a hours-billed threshold — so candidates aren't guessing what "based on client demand" means in practice.
