Executive and Growth Assistant (Sales Calls, Marketing, AI Automation)

About us

Metric Design is a full-service interior design studio in Saskatoon, Canada, open since 2011. We design and project manage homes and commercial spaces from first concept to final styling, and we plan events, retreats and experiences.
MetricLy is our sister software company, building a taste intelligence platform for home furnishings and interior products for retailers, vendors and design professionals.

Both companies are growing, and we want a go-getter to grow with us. You'll run the founder's inbox and calendar, get on the phone to source and book work for both companies, build the automations and AI workflows that save us hours, and help decide what we put out into the world.

What you'll do

• - Source new leads and call new inquiries, follow up with past clients and business prospects, and book consultations, provide demos, etc.

• - Keep our leads current in our CRM & ClickUp and follow up on every one

• - Find repeat work across both companies and automate it with Zapier, Make, Claude or similar

• - Build and run the team and founder's AI workflows in Claude and ChatGPT

• - Triage the founder's inboxes and manage her calendar across time zones

• - Plan and schedule posts for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok, and draft blog posts that have a balance of informative content and viral tendencies.

• - Choose, create, and present the photos, renderings and visuals that show our work best, and build documents in Canva

• - Support event, retreat and experience planning

• - Book travel and handle personal admin

Schedule and pay

30 hours a week to start, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Saskatchewan time, moving to full-time as the work grows. The shift doesn't change throughout the year. Hourly pay based on experience.
