What You’ll Need to Succeed

- We’re looking for candidates with at least 4 years of experience.
- Client Communication: With proven client-facing experience, you build trust fast. Your writing, speaking, and presentation skills are top-notch.
- Data Fluency: You don’t just report numbers—you turn them into stories and strategies that are actionable.
- Project & Time Management: You run a clean calendar and keep priorities straight. Competing demands don’t throw you.
- Results Mindset: Growth is the goal. You measure success by client business outcomes. You’re as comfortable speaking to business metrics such as LTV, CAC + profit margin as you are with marketing KPIs.
- Adaptability & Growth: Feedback fuels you. You lean into change, sharpen your skills, and push yourself and your team to get better every day.
- Poised Under Pressure: You remain composed when the stakes are high and see obstacles as opportunities. You’re energized by diagnosing and solving problems.

- Work with the A team: We are ruthless about putting the best possible team on the field.
- Make an impact: We’re a small agency. Everybody has the opportunity to drive change and impact.
