Role Overview:

The CHAOS Marketing & Communications team is looking for a highly organized, detail‑oriented Marketing & Communications Operations Coordinator to help keep our Marketing & Communications (MarCom) team running smoothly and efficiently.

Responsibilities:

Team Operations

• Help manage the team's annual and ongoing marketing and communications calendars.
• Coordinate planning for campaigns, events, launches, publications, announcements, and other MarCom activities.
• Maintain shared files, templates, resources, and documentation so information is easy for the team to find and use.
• Help prepare materials for team meetings, planning sessions, leadership updates, and other internal forums.
• Track decisions, action items, and next steps and make sure follow‑through happens.
• Look for opportunities to streamline processes, eliminate unnecessary administrative work, and make the team more efficient.
• Become the team's 'source of truth' for timelines, deliverables, and operational details.

Vendor & Partner Management

• Serve as a day‑to‑day point of contact for marketing and communications vendors, agencies, freelancers, and other external partners.
• Coordinate project scopes, timelines, deliverables, meetings, and communications with vendors.
• Track contracts, statements of work, invoices, budgets, and other administrative details in partnership with the appropriate team members.
• Help ensure vendors have the information, assets, feedback, and approvals they need to deliver work on time.
• Maintain organized records of vendor relationships, projects, deliverables, and key contacts.

Project Management

• Manage day‑to‑day project coordination across the MarCom team, ensuring projects stay on schedule and key milestones and deadlines are clearly tracked.
• Maintain project plans, timelines, calendars, task trackers, and other tools used to keep the team organized.
• Follow up with team members and cross‑functional partners on outstanding tasks, deliverables, approvals, and decisions.
• Identify potential delays, gaps, or dependencies early and flag them to the appropriate team member.
• Coordinate meetings, agendas, notes, action items, and follow‑ups as needed.
• Help establish and maintain consistent project management processes and ways of working across the team.
• Keep a clear view of what is happening across the MarCom team's portfolio of work and help ensure priorities don't get lost amid competing demands.

Minimum Requirements:

• 2–5 years of experience in marketing, communications, project management, operations, agency, or a related field.
• Proven experience coordinating multiple projects, deadlines, deliverables, stakeholders, and/or vendors simultaneously.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail; you naturally keep track of the small things and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Strong project management skills, including the ability to build and maintain timelines, track dependencies, manage action items, and follow up on deliverables.
• Highly proactive and self‑directed; able to anticipate what needs to happen next rather than waiting to be asked.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Strong follow‑through and accountability—you take ownership of tasks and see them through to completion.
• Ability to manage competing priorities, shifting deadlines, and multiple workstreams in a fast‑paced environment.
• Comfortable working across teams and with people at different levels of an organization.
• Strong vendor and relationship‑management skills, with the ability to coordinate external partners and hold them accountable to timelines and deliverables.
• Comfortable working with project management, collaboration, spreadsheet, and marketing tools.
• A process‑oriented mindset and an interest in finding ways to make workflows more efficient and effective.
• Resourceful problem‑solver who can figure things out, identify gaps, and find solutions with limited direction.
• Interest in marketing and communications and enthusiasm for learning how a high‑performing MarCom team operates. Comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial environment where priorities move quickly.
