About the role

As Salmon's Marketing Operations Associate, you'll keep the money and paperwork behind our marketing and growth engine moving – contractor expenses, corporate spend, vendor contracts, and budget data, all in one place and always accurate.

This is an operational backbone role. You'll work closely with marketing, growth, finance, and legal to make sure spend is tracked, vendors are properly onboarded, and budgets are backed by clean, timely data. As we extend these processes beyond Growth & Marketing to teams like Research and HR, you'll help scale that support model across the company.

Own expense and vendor records

Manage and maintain accurate expense records across vendors and contractors

Collect, verify, and organize receipts and transaction data from corporate cards

Support onboarding and contracting of new vendors, ensuring all required documentation is in place

Keep compliance and documentation tight

Collaborate with finance and legal teams to ensure compliance and proper documentation

Track contracts and approvals through to completion, flagging gaps before they become problems

Contribute to budget planning

Assist in budget planning and tracking, providing timely data for monthly budget reviews

Help prepare clear, accurate reporting that finance and marketing leads can act on

Work across teams

Partner with multiple stakeholders across marketing, growth, and finance in a fast-paced environment

What makes you a strong fit

1–3 years of experience in finance operations, marketing finance, or a related field

Strong attention to detail and excellent organizational skills

Good communication skills in English, both written and verbal

Ability to work independently and meet deadlines

What you're joining

Our team is the product. You'll join at a stage where our operations processes are still being built out and extended to new teams, where the distance between a messy expense report and a clean, audit-ready record is your work, and where getting the details right keeps the rest of the company moving. We hire people who take ownership, sweat the details, and carry work through.
