Operations & Business Development Coordinator
Raleigh, NC

Indie has grown from a small team into a partner for some of the most exciting brands in CPG and beyond over the past 8 years, and we're not close to done! We are looking for great people who are energized by the opportunity to build & shape what comes next for Indie and are excited to grow along with us.

• Real ownership from day one. You'll help shape what Indie becomes, not just execute a fixed plan.
• A team that leads with empathy and still delivers at a high level. We don't think you have to choose.
• Broad, hands-on exposure. You'll work across client services, internal systems, events, and marketing, plus get to lead production on our CEO & Founder’s podcast, a rare mix of creative and project management.
• Competitive salary with real opportunities for growth and professional development.

About Us

Founded in 2019, Indie Consulting is a fast-growing, strategy-led marketing consultancy that partners with some of the most exciting brands in CPG and beyond! We foster an empowering environment built on creativity and dedication, helping our clients tell their stories with clarity and impact.

At Indie, we’ve created a collaborative culture where professional and personal growth is the norm. Our team leads with empathy, supports one another, and strives to deliver meaningful results that leave things better than we found them. If you’re energized by smart strategy, great people, and real opportunities for growth, we’d love to meet you!

Role Overview

This role is the engine behind Indie's day-to-day: part ops, part new business, and a great way to get real hands-on experience in how a marketing agency actually runs. You'll split your time supporting our internal operations, think client contracts, office logistics, and systems, and our new business efforts, from social content to event support to producing our CEO & Founder’s podcast, Name Drop.

If you're energized by variety and don't need every day to look the same, this is built for you. You'll get exposure across client services, marketing, finance, and events, working closely with our Ops Manager and New Business Manager along the way.
