SMEVentures is looking for a talented and hungry Marketing Associate to join our fast-growing company!
About SMEVentures
SMEVentures is the leading platform for entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) in Asia Pacific. We empower the growth and sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by bridging the gap between retiring business owners and the next generation of entrepreneurial talent. Our approach honors the legacy of SMEs while injecting innovative strategies for future growth and success.
The Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial marketing generalist who is passionate about building things from the ground up. As our Marketing Associate, you will take significant ownership of building and scaling the marketing engine that fuels our growth. This role is perfect for a self-starter who is 2-4 years into their career, has a "chip on their shoulder," and is eager to trade a rigid corporate structure for autonomy and impact. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, love tinkering with new tools (especially AI), and want to directly contribute to the success of the entrepreneurs we support in a lean, remote-first environment.
Responsibilities
- Content Management: Own the content lifecycle from ideation to publication. Use AI tools and your creativity to develop compelling content (ebooks, one-pagers, newsletters) for our target audience of business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.
- Marketing Automation: Design, build, and optimize automated marketing campaigns and lead-nurturing workflows using HubSpot and other tools to engage our contacts and generate warm leads.
- Campaign & Project Management: Independently drive key marketing projects end-to-end, including webinars, digital events, and co-marketing partnerships. You will manage timelines, stakeholders, and execution to ensure successful outcomes.
- Tech Stack & Analytics: Manage and improve our marketing technology stack. You will analyze campaign performance, report on key metrics, and provide data-driven recommendations for future initiatives.
Requirements
- Entrepreneurial Drive & Independence: You are highly self-motivated, scrappy, and results-oriented with a demonstrated ability to thrive and take ownership in a remote-first environment with minimal daily oversight. You're hungry to learn and make an impact.
- Rapid Technical Learning & AI Fluency: You have a strong aptitude and proven eagerness to quickly learn and apply new technologies. You have a demonstrated interest or hands-on skill in using AI tools to improve processes and productivity.
- End-to-End Project Execution: You have proven experience managing projects through the entire lifecycle – from understanding needs and planning through execution, launch, and post-launch analysis.
- Demonstrated Marketing Experience: You have 2+ years of hands-on experience in a marketing role, with direct experience using CRM (e.g., HubSpot) and email marketing automation platforms to run campaigns. Experience with B2B audiences is a strong plus.
- Exceptional Problem-Solving Skills: You can analyze marketing challenges, think critically and creatively, and develop robust, practical solutions.
- Effective Remote Communication: You possess excellent written and verbal communication skills and have experience working effectively and building rapport within a distributed/remote team setting.
Benefits
- A pivotal role in a pioneering company focused on the sustainability of SMEs in the Asia Pacific.
- Opportunities to grow and wear multiple hats in a supportive, dynamic environment.
