About the company and the role
A full-service digital marketing agency based in South Bend, Indiana, supporting 100+ clients nationwide. This role supports both our internal marketing engine and client fulfillment, reporting directly to the Founder with day-to-day team support in Slack. This is not an SDR role —there is no cold calling and there are no revenue quotas. Success is measured entirely by shipping high-quality marketing output on schedule, taking ownership, and operating with proactive communication.
Key Responsibilities

- Newsletter Management: Support the weekly dental newsletter ( Marketing Minute 4 Dentists ) through lead magnets, content upgrades, and subscriber growth tactics; manage production, formatting, and scheduling in Beehiiv.
- Webinar Execution: Build landing pages, execute promotional campaigns, and manage reminder and follow-up email sequences.
- Outbound & Referral Automation: Oversee automated outbound sequences in Explee, routing warm leads directly to the Founder; track referrals and send thank-yous/bonuses.
- Social & PR: Launch and manage Alpha Dog's social profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn); source and pitch podcast guest opportunities for the Founder.
SEO Execution
- Keyword Research: Use Claude with Ahrefs integrations to identify high-value keyword opportunities and content gaps for Alpha Dog and its clients.
- Page Production: Draft content in Markdown ( .md ), leverage Claude to build HTML landing pages, and publish them directly to target websites.
- Reporting: Track traffic movement and rankings, rolling the data into monthly client reports.
General Support ("Swiss Army Knife")
- AI-Assisted Web Edits: Execute minor web builds and page edits by directing AI tools (no formal coding background required).
- Software & Data Management: Maintain software subscriptions, seat assignments, client reporting pulls, and data cleanup.
- Team Overflow: Assist senior staff with operational tasks to keep leadership focused on strategy and client relationships.
Success Metrics
- On-time shipping of assigned tasks across inbound, SEO, and operations.
- Active involvement in team syncs (Monday Zoom call, Friday written/video recaps).
- High responsiveness in Slack during working hours, with clear communication if blockers arise.
- Hitting clear milestones outlined in a structured 30/60/90-day plan.
Ideal Candidate
- Experience: 3–6 years in generalist marketing roles, digital agencies, or execution-heavy marketing positions.
- Tool Familiarity: Comfortable with (or willing to quickly learn) Beehiiv, Explee, Ahrefs, Claude, ChatGPT, Slack, Google Workspace, Canva, and major social platforms.
- AI Proficiency: Ability to direct AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT daily to streamline writing, formatting, and basic web updates.
- Core Mindset: High ownership ("give-a-shit factor"), proactive problem-solving, and a habit of raising hands early when stuck.
