Marketing Assistant

Part-time | Flexible hours | Primarily social media & content | Ames, IA + Remote

Do you enjoy taking pictures, creating social media content, and finding creative ways to get people excited about something?

Tangerine Zebra is looking for a Marketing Assistant to support our Marketing Manager with social media, email marketing, and other marketing projects. This is an entry-level role with a strong focus on creating content for our estate sales, online auctions, consignment sales, and other services.

A big part of the job is getting out into the field. You'll travel to estate sale locations, photograph inventory, capture video, and create content that helps people discover what's coming up. One day you might be photographing a room full of vintage furniture, the next you could be creating a short video about a collection of baseball cards or putting together a Facebook Marketplace listing.

You'll help turn what we find in our sales into content that gets people excited to come see it.

Photograph estate sale inventory and capture video content at sale locations

Take and organize large volumes of photos for upcoming sales

Create social media content for Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok

Write captions and other short-form marketing copy

Create email marketing content using photos and information from upcoming sales

Repurpose content across social media, email, print advertising, and other marketing channels

Create promotional assets for estate sales, online auctions, consignment sales, and other Tangerine Zebra services

Create and post Facebook Marketplace listings for items we're selling

Help identify items, collections, or moments that would make interesting social content

Help capture behind-the-scenes content and the personality of Tangerine Zebra

Support the Marketing Manager with additional marketing projects as needed

Pay attention to social media trends and bring new content ideas to the team

Creative and naturally curious

Comfortable creating content for social media

Strong eye for interesting photos, visuals, and details

Comfortable taking lots of photos and video with a smartphone

Familiar with Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok

Comfortable learning new platforms, tools, and technology

Able to work independently and manage projects to completion

Organized and able to keep track of lots of photos, videos, and content

Willing to follow Tangerine Zebra's brand standards while still bringing your own creative perspective

Comfortable working in a constantly changing environment

Professional and respectful when working in clients' homes

Reliable transportation and willingness to travel to estate sale locations throughout our service area

Reliable attendance and follow-through

Graphic design experience is a plus. Experience creating video content, Reels, or TikToks is a plus. Experience with Canva, Adobe, or other creative tools is helpful but not required.

You don't need to have years of marketing experience for this role. We're looking for someone who is excited to learn, comfortable trying things, and has a good eye for content.

Tangerine Zebra helps families find new homes for a lifetime of treasures and belongings. Our estate sales, online auctions, and consignment sales give people a way to connect with interesting and unique things while helping families through major life transitions.

You'll get to work with a little bit of everything: vintage finds, furniture, collectibles, sports cards, antiques, household treasures, and plenty of things you never expected to find in someone's basement.

If you like social media, photography, creative projects, and the idea of turning interesting things into content people actually want to see, we'd love to hear from you.
