It operates as an evening-driven business, delivering instruction and programming during peak after-school and evening hours, and manages enrollment, billing, and student communications alongside its instructional operations. Leadership requires a dedicated resource to own digital marketing execution and provide general executive support so that growth initiatives move forward consistently rather than intermittently. About the Role This role exists to support the studio owner with enrollment growth and daily administrative operations. The ideal candidate will act as a primary driver of marketing campaigns, lead management, and digital presence, while also serving as a key operational assistant. You will take ownership of campaign execution, lead nurture pipelines, video editing, routine billing, and system optimization to allow the owner to focus on teacher training, student retention, and strategic growth. (Note: This is initially a 20-hour per week part-time position with strong potential to transition into a full-time role after the studio completes a building refinancing by the end of the year.) Key Responsibilities 1. Marketing Campaign Execution & Creative Content (Top Priority) Plan, execute, and monitor email marketing, Instagram posts/reels, and Meta (Facebook) advertising campaigns designed to drive student enrollments.

Edit raw footage uploaded to Google Drive into engaging 30-second video clips and promotional reels for social media posts and ad campaigns. 2. Lead Nurture & GoHighLevel Management Actively manage and maintain GoHighLevel funnels, forms, automated workflows, and Smart Lists.

Manage specialized studio room, teacher, and lesson bookings using Bookio. Assist with triaging incoming emails in Microsoft Outlook and help organize, structure, and check off backlog tasks in Asana. Relay key student updates, class schedules, and incoming lead notifications to studio instructors and front-desk staff via Slack. Qualifications & Skills Core Requirements: GoHighLevel Experience: Direct, hands-on experience using GoHighLevel for email/SMS sequences, pipelines, forms, and lead management is strictly required. Digital Marketing & Design Skills: Proven proficiency in Meta Ads Manager, Canva, Instagram reel/post creation, and basic video editing. Attention to Detail with Numbers: Precision and accuracy in handling variable billing structures across multiple team categories and rehearsal counts. Proactive Problem Solver: Takes the initiative to solve technical bottlenecks using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude), online guides, or support channels rather than waiting for direction. Fluent English Communication: Excellent written and spoken English for professional customer-facing messaging and staff coordination. Schedule Availability: Ability to work 20 hours per week (Monday–Thursday) with mandatory overlap during daytime hours (11:00 AM – 4:00 PM US CT) prior to evening studio classes.
