Marketing Assistant

Marketing Assistant

Imperial Pearl · Full-time, on-site (Rhode Island) · 1–3 years experience

About the role

Imperial Pearl is a family-owned pearl and fine jewelry company, nearly 50 years in business, in a period of active growth across trade and consumer channels. We're hiring a Marketing Assistant to be the execution engine behind our campaigns — someone who can take a direction and run with it, and who moves comfortably between the several brands and entities under our umbrella.

This is a hands-on role for a self-starter. You'll own the day-to-day production of marketing work: campaigns, social, decks, and sales materials. You will not be waiting for assignments.

What you'll do

Execute marketing campaigns end to end — build the assets, schedule the sends, track what went out, report on what worked
Run social media across brands: content calendar, creation, scheduling, community management, and performance recaps
Design and produce marketing materials — line sheets, one-pagers, email templates, trade collateral, packaging inserts, event materials
Build presentations for internal, trade, and retail-partner audiences that are clean, on-brand, and ready to present
Maintain brand consistency and asset organization across every entity we support
Support product launches and seasonal campaigns with timelines, assets, and follow-through
Use AI tools to move faster — drafting, editing, image work, research, and content production
Own website optimization and updates

What you need

1–3 years of marketing experience (internships and freelance work count)
Proficiency in Canva and the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
Working fluency with Claude and other AI writing, editing, and image tools — you use them daily, not occasionally
Experience running social media accounts for a brand, not just personally
Strong presentation design skills
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously: you scope the task, ask the right questions once, and deliver
Strong problem-solving instincts — when something breaks or a tool doesn't do what you need, you find another way
The focus and organization to hold multiple brands and priorities in your head without dropping threads
Efficiency. We value people who produce a high volume of good work, not people who produce a small amount of perfect work slowly

Nice to have

Jewelry, fashion, luxury, or consumer-products experience
Email marketing platform experience (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, or similar)
Shopify familiarity
Basic photo/video editing and short-form video production
An eye for trend and product styling

Who thrives here

You're a builder. You like a small team where your work is visible and ships immediately. You're comfortable with ambiguity and would rather make a smart call and adjust than wait for perfect direction. You take pride in craft but you understand that done and out the door beats polished and late.
