Digital Manager Jobs in Rochester, MI (NOW HIRING)

Digital Marketing Assistant

In this opportunistic position at SSDM, you will be presented with a mix of responsibilities and learning opportunities. Your day will be about filled with Operations responsibilities (more detail on this below), but these will be interwoven with on-the-job training. As the weeks pass, you will be tasked with increased levels of involvement and responsibility within the Digital Marketing side of our business. You will be given the opportunity to learn and investigate your interests and abilities among a wide variety of digital marketing skillsets. This is an immense opportunity. SSDM is willing to invest in your training. You will begin your journey with us at the front desk and be there for a minimum of 6 months. At that point, we will evaluate your readiness and the workload opportunity for you to move away from the front desk and into the office with our team as a junior level client experience coordinator.

Interview Process:

1st Interview - Phone call with head of Operations. If there seems to be a good fit, we will invite you to a virtual meeting.

2nd Interview - Virtual interview with members of our leadership team. If this goes well, you may be sent personality evaluations to take prior to your next meeting.

Final Interview - In-office with Owner and CCO. Once all interviews are complete, the SSDM leadership team will align on their preference and extend an offer. We will try to communicate with those not selected via email.

Management and Performance Evaluations: Your front desk duties will be trained and overseen by our Operations Supervisor and your marketing growth will be overseen by owner, Nick Skislak. You will participate in check-in sessions at:

• 30 days
• 60 days
• 90 days
• 6 months

At twelve months we will conduct an annual assessment, which will clarify how we are feeling about your performance and growth, as well as give you an opportunity to tell us what interests you, what you have enjoyed learning most and where you see yourself growing to next (if that has not been firmly established at the 6 month check-in).

On the Job Expectations:

• Lead with a positive attitude. This is first on the list intentionally. As the face of SSDM (a role filled by both genders over the years), it is imperative to us that your attitude reflects the positivity and excitement-to-serve that is the hallmark of our company
• You manage workloads and time well, juggling priorities efficiently and being highly respectful of time constraints and punctuality. Given your hybrid between marketing and operational tasks, this expectation is paramount

• Display confidence and communicate well to others. Expectation is that this skill set will grow with time as it relates to business communications

• Are a highly motivated self-starter
• Lean toward being a doer, meaning you are inclined to take on work yourself. You will, however, be expected to begin to build your comfort level and skill at delegating and managing via others (as directed by managers)
• Are inherently collaborative and embrace teamwork and team spirit
• Embody enthusiasm and passion for producing exceptional work for our company and our clients
• Are solution minded. If something isn't ideal, you do not complain. You present the shortcoming alongside a proposed solution.
• Have a tendency to ask quite a few questions (meaning you are eager to learn and often want to go as deep as possible).

Overall Responsibilities:
