About You
You’re a conceptual thinker. You like big ideas and are always trying to make something better, more interesting, or more innovative. You’re an experienced communicator (5+ years) from an agency or inhouse team working on b2b and b2c communications - turning complex and buzzwordy into simple content that sounds like an actual human. You love collaboration and aren’t afraid to speak up when you have an idea - with creatives and business owners alike. You’re comfortable owning and selling your work and point of view. You thrive in fast-moving environments and are impatient about getting your work out into the world.
You’re always learning - from those around you, or by jumping in to figure something out on your own. You’re curious about what’s new in the industry, technology trends, and what other brands are doing; and proactive about getting data, insights, and feedback.
You want to work with people that feel the same way.
