ABOUT US
The Couples Communication Institute is on a mission to help create healthy, calm relationships where both partners thrive. We believe couples who communicate can bring their mutual support and energy to life, giving their best gifts to each other and their families, communities, careers, and the world. We proudly serve ALL those of any relationship status, gender identity, race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
The Couples Communication Institute was founded by Dr. Sarah Salzman, a leading Couples Psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping couples create the relationship they always longed for. Now, that same high-level expertise is being made available worldwide via online programs accessible from the privacy of your home, without going to therapy.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Your hybrid workweek is a mix of classic and contemporary. You get a modern, online-based work environment in a highly professional work culture. You'd spend some time working in person in Shoreline, and most of your time working remotely with our small yet mighty team.
Using your stellar administrative experience and communication skills, you'll know your efforts are supporting couples to thrive as you aid Dr. Sarah as her lead assistant. Laser-focused and self-motivated, your love of learning infuses energy into mastering new software, building company systems, and seeing ideas through to the finish line.
As you tackle tasks with efficiency (and attention to detail a microscope would envy), you're quick to pivot when needed and curious about every piece of the picture, big and small. You find it exciting to support a small business with purpose as it grows. And you love getting an insider's peek into how an online business advances in its field.
You love that your positive attitude and professional manner are genuinely appreciated. Because at the Couples Communication Institute, everyone prides themselves on presenting professionalism and expertise in all products, marketing, and communication.
Your position will include tasks and duties in at least these three main areas:
- Your ability to remember details and big-picture objectives makes you a key A-player in CEO meetings, ensuring every idea gets noticed, remembered, and acted on promptly.
- Your excellent judgment and positive, up-beat nature help move the company forward.
- Making friends everywhere you go, you leverage Dr. Sarah’s many connections by enthusiastically promoting synergistic affiliate partners, and encouraging them to effectively promote the Couples Communication Institute in return, to increase sales.
- Scrolling has a whole new meaning as you research, envision, create, and take action on sharing important messages for couples that promote, educate, connect, and inspire.
- You're so organized that it's a breeze to oversee emails and messages coming in, whether from customers, business partners, or team members. And with time management skills like yours, consistently checking in on ongoing projects and checking off high-priority tasks brings that warm and fuzzy good-day-at-work feeling.
