Direct Mail Operations Coordinator (Part-Time, Work From Home)

Job Title: Direct Mail Operations Coordinator (Part-Time, Work From Home) Location: Houston, TX (must be local) Job Type: Part-time, 3–10 hours/week Pay: $18–$22 per hour (1099 contractor to start) About Us We’re a small real estate investment company that buys houses directly from local owners and landlords. One of our main lead sources is “neighbor-style” direct mail: simple letters mailed to specific property owners. The mail already works and produces profitable deals. We’re looking for a reliable, detail‑oriented operator to own the physical side of this channel so the founders can stay focused on talking to sellers and closing deals. You’ll be given clear checklists and processes to run. What You’ll Do You will run a small mail “factory” from your home in the Houston area. Printing & Batch Prep Receive digital lists and letter templates from us (Google Sheets / Docs). Use simple mail merge to print: Personalized letters Addressed envelopes Organize pieces into clearly labeled batches (e.g. “Batch 1 – 500 pcs – Houston Absentee”). Check print quality and basic accuracy (names, addresses visible, no obvious misprints). Manage Helpers at Your Home Help us find 1–3 part‑time helpers. We approve and pay them; you run them day‑to‑day. Schedule helpers for 2–4 hour shifts at your place. Set them up with: Printed letters and envelopes Stamps, return‑address stickers, sealing stickers, tape A simple step‑by‑step checklist to follow Supervise work: Folding, stuffing, stamping, sealing Spot‑check random pieces for correct name/address and clean presentation Track pieces assigned vs completed per helper. Inventory & Materials Store and organize all materials at home: Printer (provided), desk/table (provided if needed) Paper, envelopes, stamps Return‑address labels, sealing stickers, tape, misc. supplies Monitor inventory and request reorders before anything runs low. Keep everything clearly labeled and separated by campaign and date. Mailing & Reporting Bundle completed batches and drop them at the post office (or coordinate pickup). Keep a simple log of: Batch name Date mailed Quantity mailed Send a weekly summary to the founders: Batches completed Total pieces mailed Hours for you and helpers Any issues with quality, printer, or supplies The process will evolve as we test and simplify (e.g., different paper, fewer stickers). You’ll help implement changes and keep everything organized as we iterate.
