This full-time role is open to either our San Francisco or New York locations.
About you...
You are an experienced leader with deep knowledge in various B2B sectors. Building talented teams is what you do best, and you’re looking for the opportunity to put your stake in the ground as a leader in a fast-growing, global agency.
You love B2B tech and can’t explain why, but the opportunity to work with senior leaders at both enterprise and startup companies excites you. You have deep agency roots but may have also spent time inside tech companies and running communications for multiple business units.
Advising CMOs is your sweet spot and you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo. You have a strong network, like to attend industry events and you have the ability to put that network to work for you. You’re ambitious, creative, entrepreneurial and a natural relationship builder.
