- Help improve Foreko's online visibility through content, digital marketing initiatives, and growth experiments
- Assist with marketing content creation, including website updates, product launch materials, videos, and promotional assets
- Evaluate and implement automation opportunities across the customer acquisition funnel
- Understand how data moves between systems and help improve reporting, attribution, and workflow efficiency
- Collaborate with the team to test new growth channels and marketing strategies

Experience with tools like Clay, Apollo, Instantly, or Make/Zapier
