Displaying powerful presentation skills that invite participation and effect desired outcomes

Ensuring work is client-ready by paying astute attention to detail

Leading cross-capability teams to deliver creative thinking and powerful ideas that meet client objectives

Using analysis to drive decisions (as opposed to taking orders) in a way that yields sustained, measurable results

An unwavering passion for marketing, and an unstoppable drive to bring the best work to life

Four years of college education and seven to nine years of experience - including five years at a creative and/or media agency (both client side and digital agency experience desirable)

Strong experience managing client relationships, managing a marketing team, and developing marketing strategy

Superior analytical skills and strategic thinking - you're strong on both IQ and EQ, as adept at reading data as you are at reading clients

Effective time-management, impeccable organization, and the flexibility to adapt quickly to changes

Proven project management and performance management skills - you're known for your ability to coach and develop talent, inspire and drive change, and bring varied groups together to collaborate effectively

Superb communication and presentation skills - you're articulate, straightforward, and engaging

Demonstrated budget management and resource planning experience

Retail client experience is a plus

Familiarity with prompt-based interaction and commonly used generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini, DALL·E, Midjourney) is a plus, especially for tasks like ideation, research, or content generation.

Got the sparkle? Apply if you believe your unique skills are a fit.
