Graphic Designer & Marketer for Carpentry Business

Title: Remote Design Assistant & Marketer for Custom Finish Carpentry Business

About Us:
We are a small, efficient remodeling business based in the Midwest United States, shifting our focus toward high-end built-ins and custom finish carpentry. Right now, our team consists of me (the owner—I handle all client meetings, email s, billing, and most of the building), one full-time helper, and a few trusted subcontractors.

Because we are a tight-knit operation, you will work directly with me every day. If you are looking for the structure of a medium or large company, this is not the right fit. However, if you enjoy working directly with a business owner, and want to be a significant part of the team who will have a direct impact on growing a craft-focused business, we would love to hear from you.

Schedule, Workflow & Compensation:

• Guaranteed Hours: Part-time, 20 hours per week guaranteed—you will be compensated for the full 20 hours every week, even if you finish your assigned tasks early.
• Daily Workflow: This is an asynchronous, deadline-driven schedule based on your local time. I will drop your sketches and daily tasks into a shared folder before 7:00 AM your local time, and your completed work must be uploaded back to my folder by 8:00 PM your local time that same day.
• Starting Pay: $8.00 USD/hour ($160/week guaranteed) for the first 6 months, with a formal performance and pay review at the 6-month mark.
• Paid Time Off: 6 Paid holidays per year: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday

Responsibilities:
1. Sketch-to-Mockup (Primary): Take hand drawn sketches of (cabinets, shelving, fireplaces, etc...) and apply them to photos of the client's actual space (using Photoshop, Generative Fill, Procreate, SketchUp, or similar tools). We don't need photorealistic perfection—just accurate U.S. standard dimensions, proper wood/paint textures, and colors so clients can visualize the layout. This process will go back and forth several times depending on client input.
2. Facebook Group Marketing (Primary): Actively monitor specified local neighborhood and homeowner Facebook groups. Proactively reach out, comment on relevant posts, showcase photos of our work, and generate leads for high-end carpentry projects.
3. Flexible Clerical & Admin Support (As Needed): Because we are a small team, priorities will occasionally shift. You must be comfortable jumping into various clerical tasks, such as:
-organizing client contact lists
-compiling past invoices
-building tracking spreadsheets in Google Sheets
-updating the business website
-maintaining the google business profile
-and general data entry.

Requirements:

• Prior experience working remotely for a U.S.-based construction, home remodeling, or interior design company (must be comfortable with U.S. imperial measurements and standards).

-Very familiar with social media (Facebook , Instagram, etc...)

• Experience with 3D modeling software (SketchUp, Chief Architect, or similar).
• Proven track record marketing to homeowners for remodeling, construction, or home service businesses.
• Strong written English skills for friendly, non- ---------- Facebook outreach with American homeowners.
• High attention to detail regarding structural dimensions and measurements.
• Proficiency in Google Sheets / Excel for list management and basic invoice tracking.
• Strong self-management skills to reliably hit the 8:00 PM daily turnaround without micromanagement.
• A flexible, adaptable attitude—comfortable pivoting between design, marketing, and admin tasks depending on what the business needs that week.
