Marketing and Design Assistant

Marketing & Design Assistant Location: Fully Remote — South Africa Working Hours: UK business hours Experience Level: Mid-level, generalist marketing/design background About the Role We're recruiting on behalf of a marketing agency for a Marketing & Design Assistant to take over a varied, multi-skilled role spanning website design, email marketing, cold email copywriting, GoHighLevel CRM management, and general design/marketing support across multiple client accounts. This is a broad, hands-on role suited to someone comfortable switching between website builds, email campaigns, copywriting and CRM workflows — rather than a specialist in just one area. Key Responsibilities Google Business Profile Posts • Create and design Google Business Profile posts for client accounts based on keywords/topics supplied by the Account Manager. • Adapt content and templates to suit each client's business and branding. • Make amendments to posts or designs as requested. Website Design & Updates • Design new websites and pages, and update existing ones, primarily using WordPress and Elementor/Elementor Pro. • Update images, text, buttons, sections and other page elements. • Ensure sites are visually consistent with client branding and fully responsive across desktop, tablet and mobile. • Turn existing designs or briefs into finished, professional pages. • Some experience with website builders outside WordPress/Elementor (e.g. Wix) is preferred. Email Marketing (Client Account Management) • Manage end-to-end email marketing for an e-commerce client, including: • Campaigns: creating newsletters, promotions and product-focused emails; planning send times; reviewing performance. • Automations: building and improving automated sequences (e.g. abandoned basket flows) triggered by customer behaviour. • Forms/List Growth: managing website sign-up forms/pop-ups and monitoring conversion rates. • Focus on increasing email-driven revenue, maintaining list health, and improving results based on performance data. Cold Email / Outbound Copywriting • Write and improve cold email copy and subject lines to increase positive reply rates (not send volume). • Review existing sequences, develop new messaging approaches, and plan A/B tests. • Hand over finished copy, sequence structure and testing plans to the team member responsible for implementation; not responsible for building or amending live campaigns directly. GoHighLevel (GHL) – CRM & Workflows • Set up and manage workflows/automations within client GHL sub-accounts. • Upload and organise leads/contacts, ensuring they enter the correct campaigns. • Amend existing workflows and troubleshoot smaller issues as needed. SEO Reporting • Review and correct SEO reports generated via the agency's reporting system, investigating and fixing errors before reports are sent to clients. General Design & Marketing Support • Handle ad-hoc design and marketing tasks — graphics, templates, marketing materials, small website amendments — across various client accounts. • Manage a varied daily workload, prioritise effectively, and ask questions when briefs are unclear. What We're Looking For Essential • Experience with WordPress and Elementor/Elementor Pro. • Website design skills, including responsive design. • Basic graphic design ability and experience creating templates. • Email marketing experience — campaigns, automations and list/form management. • Marketing and cold email copywriting skills. • Understanding of email performance metrics. • Comfortable managing multiple clients and tasks simultaneously. • Able to work from briefs/instructions and flag questions proactively. Advantageous • Experience with Wix or other website builders. • Google Business Profile / SEO-focused content experience. • GoHighLevel or comparable CRM/workflow automation experience. • Familiarity with SEO reporting tools. Remote Work Requirements Applicants must: • Be based in South Africa. • Have a reliable laptop or PC. • Have stable internet and backup power. • Have a quiet workspace and be available during UK business hours.
