Job description

Marketing Contact List Assistant

Office Administration | Newsletter Lists | Remote | Full-time or part-time | 27.25–29.00 per hour

A campaign team has finished writing a newsletter, but the recipient list still needs careful preparation. The Newsletter List Preparation Assistant checks assigned online contact records, applies approved grouping rules, and flags uncertain or missing details before someone else sends the campaign. This is a remote administrative role. It is not a copywriting, advertising strategy, or sales position.

The list before the send

The team's instructions may say to include subscribers in a particular category who have a valid permission status. You would use the approved criteria, review the resulting segment, and report anomalies such as a missing category or a person who appears twice. You must respect unsubscribe and consent records. If the system's status conflicts with a spreadsheet supplied by someone else, do not decide which to override on your own. Make the discrepancy visible to the campaign owner.

A useful final preparation record includes what source was used, the criteria applied, the number of contacts returned, and any exceptions still awaiting a decision. You may also check whether a test message went to an internal reviewer, but you will not launch an external send unless the employer expressly authorizes that duty. A wrong list can affect trust, so slow down when a field looks inconsistent. This is where office administration habits and customer service awareness matter: subscribers should receive only communication they are meant to receive.

Day-to-day duties

• Follow a supplied campaign brief and recipient criteria.
• Check the assigned web-based contact list for duplicate or incomplete records.
• Apply approved tags or segments within your access level.
• Preserve opt-out and consent information exactly as recorded.
• Note the source and count used for a list review.
• Flag conflicts to the marketing lead before an email goes out.
• Maintain a simple status record for pending list work.
• Coordinate with the content or campaign owner on a test-send checklist.

Skills and training

You can come from customer service, office administration, volunteer mailing lists, or another area that required accurate records. Direct marketing experience is a bonus, not a condition. The company will teach its online email platform and permission rules. Familiarity with spreadsheets helps, but an advanced marketing certification is unnecessary. You should be willing to double-check filters, write a concise note about an exception, and ask before changing a contact's subscription status.

This remote opening could be part-time or full-time. The hiring company will confirm its terms. You will need a suitable private workspace; a home office is one option for handling contact data. The employer will explain its actual send approval and system access during hiring.

A list can contain a valid-looking email that belongs to an older contact record or a person who has changed their communication preference. Compare the assigned source and the employer's current permission fields before marking the row ready. Put uncertain entries in a review state rather than guessing that previous inclusion permits another send. When the approved audience changes, note which list version and cut-off date you used. This careful office administration supports the marketing team while protecting the integrity of its online contact records.

Stop and ask before a list change

• A contact has an unclear permission or opt-out status.
• Two records appear to belong to the same person but differ in email.
• A requested segment would include a group excluded by the brief.
• A colleague asks to add recipients without a source for consent.
• The preview count changes unexpectedly after a filter is applied.
• The list contains a field whose meaning is not documented.

You are supporting a campaign, not taking responsibility for deciding who may be contacted. A careful note about an exception is valuable even if it reduces the number of records ready for the send. The campaign owner can resolve the question before distribution.

To be considered

Show an example of maintaining a list, following a selection rule, or noticing a data inconsistency. It can come from a job, study, or community activity. You do not need to claim campaign management experience for this assistant role. The next stage may ask shortlisted candidates to apply through the hiring company’s website. The hiring team will clarify the exact newsletter process for the opening.
