Landing a freelance remote job at a US company as a growth marketer

Arc talent interview with Carlos Sis, Senior Performance Marketer
Summary:

We sat down with Carlos, a senior performance marketer, who got hired through Arc at Chamberlin Group, a US-based retirement planning platform.

Carlos is a senior paid ads specialist with over 7 years of experience. In less than a week, Carlos was hired by Chamberlin Group, who was urgently looking for a paid social specialist with experience in Facebook advertising, Hubspot workflows, and funnel optimization.

Based in Guatemala, Carlos has always been frustrated at finding freelance jobs. Despite using keyword searches, he wasted a lot of time sifting through irrelevant job posts. Even though he frequently gets contacted by recruiters, the jobs don’t match his background and experience. There is also the problem of international payments, with companies that offer remote jobs but don’t support payment for overseas talent. And then Arc reached out to him.

How did your journey with Arc begin?

Arc was very professional. When they reached out to me about the opportunity, I could tell they’d done their research. Not only did they have a good understanding of my background and experience, they also asked me specific questions to make sure I was a good fit. It was a good sign, which was why I decided to move forward. For the interviews, Arc was very fast at communicating and helping me with the process. No other recruiters have been as professional. It was a very good experience.

Tell us about the company and team you’re working with now.

Working with Arc’s client is the best experience I’ve ever had. The client is very professional and communicative. We have plans, we have goals, and we have meetings about how to reach those goals. Every solution I propose is well-received. I can see that they are getting better results. Since I am delivering value, I feel very secure in the position. My initial contract was 12 weeks, 20 hours each week. They recently extended my contract which I’m very happy about! Since this is a remote job, I can easily work from home. I also have the flexibility to work on my own projects, such as growing my social media channels. As a senior marketer, it’s very important to build and maintain authority for my personal brand.

How do you feel about searching for jobs on Arc?

With Arc, I can fill in details like my time zone, schedule, and desired salary. I can quickly find freelance jobs that match my profile and availability. The process is clear and customized. The job search is also more accurate because when I search for keywords, the exact title of the job will come up. The job title is very important because it quickly tells you about what you will be doing for that company. You spend less time searching for suitable jobs.

What do you find most valuable about using Arc?

I find the communication, weekly reminders, and personalization very valuable. I know that I’m actually talking to someone and not part of an email sequence. It’s a very custom experience talking to the team. Also, I can visualize historical data for weekly payments/reports. I enjoy receiving reminders every week that my payment is on the way. Another thing is that as a remote worker because you’re not in a physical office, communication is even more important. Regular emails and updates from Arc are great because you feel like you’re part of the company. Arc keeps me happy!

Would you recommend Arc to friends and family?

Yes! I strongly recommend Arc to friends and family because it’s been a great freelancing experience for me. Arc works with companies with good stability and has good standards to identify the best candidates. Arc does a great job making sure clients get expert talent and candidates get great positions.

As a growth marketer, Carlos’s skills include SQL, paid acquisition, SEO, e-commerce CRO, and marketing analytics. He has previously managed over $100K in ad spending, achieving an average of 8 ROAS, leading to significant budget savings. He is also the founder of Cell Export GT where he built his own e-commerce with digital marketing, SEO, and SEM strategies. Carlos currently lives in Guatemala.
