Job description

We’re a fast-scaling performance-marketing and software company operating at serious volume. We’re looking for a sharp, self-directed manager who owns outcomes — not just tasks — and makes things happen without being walked through every step. This role blends project management, client and partner outreach, and executive support: you’ll run our meetings, keep work moving, drive new-business follow-ups, and catch problems before they cost us. We want someone who thinks and improves how things are done — not someone who waits to be told.

What you’ll do

Project & Meeting Management

• Run weekly team meetings: set the agenda, document decisions, assign tasks, and follow up until they’re actually done.
• Keep our task-management system (Teamwork) current and our projects genuinely moving forward — not just updated.
• Spot blockers, gaps, and inefficiencies early — and bring solutions, not just problems.

Business Development & Client Outreach

• Own our CRM (Pipedrive): keep it accurate and use it to actually move deals forward — chase follow-ups, revive cold leads, and close loops.
• Run outreach to prospective clients and partners; follow up consistently so no opportunity goes cold.
• Be proactive in every client and partner conversation: anticipate needs, respond fast, and flag opportunities and risks early.
• Take real ownership of new-business results — your work should show up in revenue.

Operational Excellence

• Watch the numbers that matter daily — buyer bids, caps, and acceptance rates — and chase issues the same day, not weeks later.
• Take ownership of deadlines, deliverables, and priorities; nothing falls through the cracks.
• Proactively improve and streamline how we work — automate or simplify the repetitive stuff wherever you can.
• Keep teams and project owners accountable across the business.

Strategic Support

• Act as a strategic partner to leadership in execution: prioritize tasks, highlight risks, and keep stakeholders informed.
• Give clear, honest updates on what you’re working on and what it’s producing — substance over busywork.
• Conduct research to support decision-making (market trends, tools, client background).
• Handle miscellaneous executive / admin tasks as needed.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in project coordination, business development, or executive support.
• Strong critical thinking — you take what you’re given and make it happen, without us figuring it out for you.
• Reliability and ownership: when something is yours, it gets done — no chasing required.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with real presence in client meetings — you can run a call and represent us, not just read a script.
• A fast learner who picks up our domain quickly: lead generation and performance-marketing fundamentals (CPA, CPL, acceptance rates, caps).
• Proactive and resourceful — you notice problems in the data and act before being asked.
• Comfortable being measured on results, including the revenue you help drive.
• Hands-on with Pipedrive and Teamwork (or similar CRMs and task managers), and highly organized.

How you’ll be measured

New-business revenue you help drive, deals moved forward, problems caught early (before they cost us), and how reliably work gets done without follow-up.

This role is a chance to own real operational impact. You’ll be the operations backbone and business-growth driver of a fast-scaling company where your work directly moves the numbers. If you thrive on responsibility, enjoy solving problems, and like the idea of being trusted as a partner — not just a task-taker — this is the role for you.
