Mentrix is looking for a Digital Media and Operations Coordinator to support our founder's daily work. This is a part-time, contract role. Applications are being accepted until Friday, March 29, 2024.

Summary

Are you a self-directed learner who loves to organize and orchestrate activity? Do you have excellent communication skills? Do you love digital tools? Are you a critical thinker who thrives in a flexible work environment?

Mentrix Group designs information systems. We are a boutique consultancy with a small team working collaboratively to architect and build software systems for diverse clients.

Increasingly, our mission is to enable and empower knowledge workers who design systems. Our founder writes books, develops courses, gives keynotes and teaches hands-on workshops for technology professionals worldwide.

Do you have a personal interest in our mission? We are looking for a part-time Digital Media & Operations Coordinator to support our goals.

Responsibilities

Your primary responsibility is to help our business run smoothly. This includes digital marketing, weekly bookkeeping and logistics like travel planning.

We are systems designers and hope you will be too! You'll ensure social media posts are published daily. You might also improve our process for creating and publishing them. As you get to know us, you'll develop financial and business planning reports that highlight the information that matters most.

Responsiblities include:

• Creation and publishing of social media posts

• Managing regular publication of newsletters

• Content creation for digital websites

• Calendar wrangling and weekly prioritization meeting

• Bookkeeping - updating transactions in Quickbooks

• Invoicing & reporting

• Monitoring software licensing and other business tasks.

• Travel logistics (the founder travels 3+ months per year)

Potential responsbilities:

We are devoted to lifelong learning and growth. After six months, if you are interested in other aspects of our work, we can explore expanding your role. Skills we value include: Agile project management, client relations, writing for a STEM audience and software engineering.

Qualifications

People in our industry come from diverse backgrounds. You'll notice that the qualifications don't say "4 years experience using Quickbooks." You can learn Quickbooks.

We want to know: can you think, organize, prioritize, communicate effectively, learn what you need to and act? Do you enjoy those activities?

• Comfort with digital technology: We are geeks. We use a lot of software (we build software), so you need to love digital tools.

• Critical thinking: Interpret and analyze information, then make sound decisions about how to act on it.

• Organization: Ensure we don't miss deadlines or opportunities.

• Planning & prioritization: You don't get overwhelmed easily and can prioritize tasks effectively.

• Writing: Excellent grammar (really, this matters a lot) and proven communications skills.

• Self-direction: You initiate tasks and do them, regardless of whether or not someone is watching over you.

• Collaboration: You love working as part of a high-performant team.

Requirements

You'll need a quiet place to work, a computer and reliable internet.

Education: We prefer you have a secondary degree or are working on one. If you are an autodidact, please describe your approach.

Location: While we prefer someone near New York, the only requirement is working during Eastern Time.

Work Environment: We are a small team of distributed consultants, you must be comfortable with, and set up for, working from home (or a quiet place of your choosing). No meetings from coffee shops, please.

Technology: You'll need a computer and reliable internet connection (fast enough for video meetings). You'll be installing some applications (like Slack). We use Apple computers. Windows is fine but we can't provide tech support. Linux people, we trust, are their own tech support.

Time tracking: You'll use our time tracking software to report activities.

Language: All work is done in English.

Background check and references: Because you'll be all up in our business, we will do a background check. And contact people who've trusted you to think well and deliver.

Details

Schedule: Approximately 15 hours per week, during regular business hours, M-F, EST. (No fewer than 10, not more than 20.)

Pay: $25 per hour to start.

Benefits: This part-time position includes no benefits. We are closed between Christmas and New Years (you'll be paid your average weekly amount).

Equal Opportunity Employer: We are seriously committed to encouraging diversity in the tech industry. We know that people from all walks of life would be great at this job.

Please fill out the application form. You can answer questions in the form, create a document or share a video. You will need a link to you job history (LinkedIn or post a CV somewhere).
