# Marketing Coordinator job description: what real postings ask for (2026)

> Marketing Coordinator job description measured from live postings: 4.4% remote, 24.6% disclose pay, plus the skills and seniority employers ask for.

**Canonical URL:** https://jobspipe.dev/job-description/marketing-coordinator

This page reads every active marketing coordinator posting JobsPipe collects from LinkedIn, Indeed, Y Combinator, Workday, Greenhouse, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Ashby, Lever and Paylocity and turns it into a job description you can check against the market: the skills employers actually name, the seniority they target, how often the role is remote or lists pay, and which industries and countries the postings come from.

4.4% of these postings are marked remote, 24.6% state a salary or range, the most named skill is communication at 41.5% and the most common seniority label is entry level at 12.9%. Postings with no seniority label stay in the denominator, so the seniority shares do not sum to one, and a posting counts once per skill it names, so the skill shares overlap.

## Headline shares

- **Remote:** 4.4%
- **Pay disclosed:** 24.6%

## Responsibilities employers list

- Own the day-to-day marketing work the role exists for, including Excel and CRM.
- Keep canva and SEO current and apply them to the recurring tasks that marketing coordinator postings describe.
- Work with the people who rely on the role, since employers name communication and attention to detail alongside the technical requirements.
- Meet the quality, safety and documentation standards the employer sets for marketing work.
- Document the work and hand it over cleanly so the rest of the marketing team can pick it up.
- Learn the tools and routines of the role on the job, since postings most often label it entry level.
- Be present on site, since few marketing coordinators are hired for remote work in the postings.

## How to write a marketing coordinator job description

1. **Use the title candidates search for.** Pick the canonical title that appears on this page, not an internal level name or a creative variant. Candidates search by the common title, and so do the boards that index it. Read [the general method for writing a job description](https://jobspipe.dev/answers/how-do-you-write-a-job-description).
2. **Lead with the work, not the company.** Open with two or three sentences on what the person will own and who they work with. Save the company history for the end.
3. **List the responsibilities that recur.** Five to seven bullets, each starting with a verb, each describing work the role does most weeks. The responsibilities above are phrased from the skills that recur in real postings for this title.
4. **Separate must-have from nice-to-have.** Put the skills most postings name in the must-have list and everything else in a shorter nice-to-have list. The skill shares on this page show which is which.
5. **State remote, employment type and pay up front.** Say whether the role is remote, hybrid or on site, name the employment type, and give a salary range. Then revisit the posting as the market moves. Read [how often job descriptions should be updated](https://jobspipe.dev/blog/how-often-should-job-descriptions-be-updated).

## FAQ

### What does a marketing coordinator do?

A marketing coordinator does the marketing work employers describe in their postings, and the skills those postings name most are communication, attention to detail and Excel. The responsibilities section above phrases that work as bullets you can reuse.

### What skills do marketing coordinator postings ask for?

The most named skills are communication (41.5%), attention to detail (27.7%), Excel (22.5%), CRM (21.0%), canva (19.1%). Skills are extracted from the posting text against a curated lexicon, and a posting counts once per skill it names, so the shares overlap. The API filter skills_or returns the postings behind any of them.

### Is the marketing coordinator role remote?

4.4% of active marketing coordinator postings carry a remote flag. The flag is read from the posting itself, so hybrid roles that never say remote are counted as on site. Filter the API with remote set to true and job_title_or set to the title to reproduce the figure.

### Do marketing coordinator postings disclose pay?

24.6% state a salary or a range in the posting text or structured fields. Disclosure varies more by board and by jurisdiction than by role, so compare the figure with the board-level shares on the sources pages before reading it as a market signal.

### Which industries hire marketing coordinators?

By ISIC division, the largest shares are Accommodation (4.0%), Employment and staffing (3.0%), Real estate (2.8%). Industry is resolved from the employer's classification where known, and postings without a classification are excluded from this cut. The filter isic_division_or reproduces each row.

### Where do these numbers come from?

From JobsPipe's live index of postings on the ten boards it collects, deduplicated by posting id and counted on 2026-09-10. Only shares are published; the underlying counts stay private. Every figure can be reproduced against the JobsPipe API with the filters shown on this page.
