Internally, the role involves leading a team to achieve short and long-term goals aligned with agency growth plans.

You have three main areas of accountability.

New business. You’ll need to effectively communicate our value proposition, help market the agency, and nurture leads from hello to welcome aboard. The agency’s leadership team will help you do that.

Existing accounts. Our business is to help brands disrupt and grow for good. That means fostering excellent working relationships and alignment with the clients who work on those brands. The account team reports to you.

Where You Shine — Your qualities mapped to the agency’s Core Values:

  • Driven to Understand. You naturally have empathy. You want to understand the why behind the what — the people behind the plan.
  • Make bold moves. You have a bias toward action. Having a point of view makes you an effective leader and at times an inspired follower.
