Canto to Mando helps heritage Chinese people reconnect with Chinese language, culture, family, identity, and opportunity.
A lot of our students grew up around Cantonese, Mandarin, or Chinese culture, but somewhere along the way they felt embarrassed, disconnected, behind, or like Chinese was something that held them back. We are building a company that helps them turn that around.
This is an early-stage company, which means the work is real. You will not be joining a giant corporate marketing department where your job is one tiny piece of a machine. You will be helping build the machine.
We are looking for a Marketing / Growth Ops Assistant to help keep our marketing and sales funnel running, improving, and organized.
This is a junior role, so you do not need to already be an expert marketer. What matters more is that you are organized, hungry to learn, good with details, strong in English, comfortable with AI, and genuinely interested in marketing, content, sales, and business growth.
What You Will Work On
- Help check that landing pages, booking pages, forms, links, UTMs, and follow-up systems are working properly.
- Help organize and QA ad creatives, landing page assets, testimonials, and marketing materials.
- Pull simple weekly numbers so we can see what is working and what needs attention.
- Help create and improve ads, short videos, graphics, landing page copy, and sales/marketing assets.
- Use AI tools to move faster, draft ideas, organize information, and improve workflows.
- Spot problems early and communicate clearly when something is broken, unclear, or blocked.
- Help document repeated processes so the company gets more organized over time.
This Role Is A Good Fit If
- You are very strong in English.
- You are organized and detail-oriented.
- You like marketing, sales, content, psychology, and business.
- You are comfortable learning new software tools.
- You are comfortable using AI tools.
- You can take direct feedback and improve quickly.
- You do not want to just be told exactly what to do forever.
- You like figuring things out.
- You care about doing high-quality work.
- You want to grow with a small company where strong work can turn into more responsibility quickly.
Big Advantages
You do not need all of these, but they are strong assets:
- You are part of the audience we serve, or you deeply understand heritage Chinese / diaspora Chinese identity.
- Conversational Cantonese.
- Conversational Mandarin.
- Sales experience.
- Marketing experience.
- Video editing experience.
- Graphic design, Canva, or Figma experience.
- Analytical thinking or reporting experience.
- CRM, automation, or funnel experience.
To be clear: complete Mandarin fluency is not required. Perfect Cantonese is not required. What matters more is that you can understand the audience, communicate clearly, and learn fast.
What You Will Learn
In this role, you will get hands-on experience with growth marketing, paid ads, direct response copywriting, funnels, landing pages, CRM systems, automation, AI workflows, reporting, creative testing, sales psychology, and how an online education company grows.
This is a strong role for someone who wants to become excellent at marketing and business operations, not just complete random tasks.
How We Work
We care about owning outcomes, telling the truth quickly when something is broken or unclear, working hard on what matters, building better systems instead of repeating the same chaos, and keeping the audience's transformation ahead of ego.
We are direct, fast-moving, and still building a lot of our systems. That means this role is best for someone who wants responsibility and growth, not someone who needs every single step pre-built.
Compensation
This is an entry-level junior role. Starting compensation depends on fit, availability, and experience. The starting point is modest, but the goal is not to keep the right person stuck. If you can take ownership, improve the marketing machine, and create measurable value, there is a path to more responsibility and higher compensation over time.
Pay: $17.60-$20.00 per hour
