Marketing Specialist

POSITION SUMMARY:

Audax is hiring an experienced professional to help execute on the firm’s ongoing marketing and communications efforts. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, with strong writing skills, deep intellectual curiosity, and a keen eye for detail, who embraces a collaborative, team-based approach.
