If you’re an experienced remote professional looking for a flexible, part-time contractor opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

Applications are being accepted now. We plan to interview candidates throughout August and are looking for someone to begin between mid-August and mid-September to support our busy fall season.

 About Us

Drama Kids is not your average after-school program. We “Act Up” with purpose—using creative drama to help children build confidence, communication skills, creativity, leadership, and teamwork while having an incredible amount of fun.

We’re a fast-growing small business serving families throughout Metro Detroit West, and we’re just getting started. Our mission is simple: We’re building good humans.

As we continue to expand into new schools, parks & recreation departments, and community partners, we’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys organizing information, creating efficient systems, and helping a growing business run smoothly.

 What You’ll Do

You’ll support the owner by helping keep our operations organized and our programs running smoothly.

Responsibilities include:

• Organizing and maintaining class, camp, and event calendars
• Preparing emails to families using existing templates
• Editing flyers, forms, and marketing materials (not designing from scratch)
• Drafting and scheduling social media posts using existing branding and templates
• Writing and editing proposals for schools, parks & recreation departments, and community organizations
• Scheduling interviews and communicating with teacher candidates throughout the hiring process
• Creating and maintaining seasonal planning documents that serve as our single source of truth
• Proofreading communications and documents
• Organizing registration information and program details
• Tracking projects, deadlines, and follow-up items
• Coordinating project timelines and helping keep initiatives on schedule
• Assisting with a variety of administrative and operational projects that support the business

Every week is a little different, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys variety, organization, and problem-solving.
