This role is for you if:
- You want to make a big impact—on clients, the agency, and the work
- You thrive in a small boutique agency where your voice actually shapes direction
- You’re equal parts strategist, leader, and rebel
- You bring energy, ownership, and a point of view

- A genuine individual who places the well-being of others and the team above personal gain. Someone who is humble and principled, with a "we" not "me" mindset.
- An original, contrarian thinker capable of developing unique concepts and ideas that challenge the status quo, coupled with the ability to communicate these ideas effectively. Your background should showcase a blend of conceptual thinking and practical application.
- Top-of-class human with a chip on your shoulder — a point to prove that drives you to excel. We appreciate those who might be considered strange by conventional standards, who bring valuable perspectives and creativity to the team.
- A personable team player who excels in collaborative environments, with a proven ability to articulate ideas, provide and receive feedback constructively, and foster an inclusive and supportive team dynamic.
- 10+ years of experience in client services, account leadership, or brand strategy within a creative or marketing agency
- Exceptional strategic thinking and communication skills
- Demonstrated experience managing complex projects across multiple channels (digital, brand, content, campaign)

- Confident in presenting to clients and leading tough conversations with clarity and empathy
- Skilled in Google Workspace, project management tools, and budget tracking
