Your help, setting me up with her, does not work

Is it possible for the noun, help to be equal to the followed phrases? For example, 1) Thank you for the help getting me the job. 2) Your help, setting me up with her, does not work, etc.

I know "in" is usually omitted and it means "when" like "The organization offers practical help (in) dealing with paperwork." but in those sentences, I feel like the help and your help are equal to the followed phrases in meaning.

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual and I hope to hear from you again.
