Marketing Assistant

At CapitalQ Business Advisers & Chartered Accountants we consider ourselves an ultra progressive, highly ambitious, independently owned and operated, SME focused, accounting, tax and business advisory.

Presently operating from our base in East Perth, we are working smart to ensure we stand apart, and as a result… we are growing!

Therefore we are on the look out for new Team Members who can help us help our CapitalQ Community Members (our Clients) achieve their goals and provide them with peace of mind regarding their tax and financial affairs (and their future lifestyle).

We are hoping to add someone to our Team who is a talented, enthusiastic and open minded multi-skilled marketer.

While we are also open minded when it comes to the possibilities of both the role and the individual who may fill it, here is what we are initially thinking the role will entail…

• The role will suit someone who is somewhat of a marketing allrounder,
• The primary function will be assisting with the production of content, specifically –
  • Creation, recording and editing of videos for use on our website, social media, online ads and potentially educational material and products
  • Processing of images and creation of graphics for use with videos (ie. thumbnails, inserts, etc), social media, print media and more
  • Assisting with, maybe even taking ownership of, our primary marketing CRM and lead management
  • Improving our client experience

Now we will only be filling this role if we find the right individual, or maybe even individuals, who are right for us (and we right for them)!

So as we say, we are open minded about who you are. We don’t want you to try and present yourself in a manner that hides your true self attempting to be who you think we want you to be.

However to give you some idea of who we are, which ultimately will be a factor when trying to determine whether you will be a good fit within our Team, we –

• Believe in being a “life long learner”. And while reading is generally our preferred method of learning, regardless of how you learn best, we hope you are dedicated to continual learning and improvement. And we don’t mean in that throw away, clich`ed way. We mean if you are already in a marketing role, or even if not, you are dedicating time each day (in addition to your productive work, quite possibly outside standard office hours) to learn about the latest in video production, image editing, social media, online and offline marketing, etc. Plus, while at this stage of your career your technical skills are paramount, you are also proactive about increasing your awareness and understanding of broader issues we, and our SME clients, face when it comes to building and growing a successful business.

• Believe attention to detail is an often overlooked requirement and obligation within our industry, and an undervalued skill. As is taking pride in the quality of ones work, no matter how small the task.

• Believe there are non-negotiables when it comes to servicing our Community Members and when it comes to working within our Team including –
  • calls and emails are always returned, without exception, and promptly. And tough calls are made first!
    
  • commitments made (to clients, to Team Members, to anyone) are always met.
    
  • if an error is ever made, full ownership is taken immediately, no matter what the perceived consequences (which are rarely as bad as the consequence of not taking ownership).
    
  • each individual within our Team is personally responsible for their own success, as well as the success of CapitalQ. If you are not capable of being a genuine team player, please stop reading now, and please do not apply!
    
  • each individual within our Team is genuinely empowered to do what is required to service our Community Members, and their fellow Team Members, to the expected high standard. But with that empowerment comes obligations and responsibilities which you must be prepared to take ownership of. If you expect to be told what to do at every step, again you will not fit here at CapitalQ. Equally, if you expect to be able to rebuff personal responsibility because of a lack of micromanagement, you are equally unsuitable for our environment.

If you believe you would be a good fit within the CapitalQ Team, and you are prepared to make a commitment to help build the business and financial futures of our Community Members, as well as build the CapitalQ business towards a big, bright future for all who are a part of it, then here is how you can present your case to us –

1) Get to know us as best you can (though PLEASE do not add yourself to our marketing funnels by signing up to receive downloads, mail outs, The Q Review, etc. Candidates found in our marketing system will not be considered for a role).

2) Either –

a) Write an introductory letter explaining why you feel you may be a good fit for us, and why we a good fit for you. Letters are not to exceed two pages (though certainly could be much shorter if you can get your point across in less words). Generic letters that look like they have been sent to every potential employer in town will likely not get passed initial screening.

Or

b) Create a simple video doing the same thing. Videos are to be no longer than 2 minutes (which is much less time than you might think) and again will introduce yourself and briefly explain why you feel you may be a good fit for us, and us for you. Now when we are recruiting accountants we tell them not to stress too much about the video production quality. And while your video creation skills are going to be important for this role, we also don’t want you to stress out too much on this occasion. We just want to get to know you, so holding your phone up and talking will do the trick, just make sure we can see and hear you clearly.

3) Upload your letter (in PDF format only, document files will not be opened) or video, along with your up-to-date, sparkling CV (again, PDFs only) to us via the link below…

We look forward to hearing from you…
