Job Summary
We’re looking for a highly creative human to help set the tone and lead the charge in our Digital and Media Studio. The right candidate will come from a background of formal design training, have experience wrangling a team of writers and designers, relish the ability to work closely with strategists and account folks, enjoy rolling up their sleeves to stay connected to the work, and have an aptitude to help put out fires.
High-level, big-picture thinking is a must, but that needs to be balanced with a knack to get in the weeds and find out what makes our clients tick. The ability to both charm clients and challenge their expectations, assumptions, and norms will be a key to success.

Outside of day-to-day responsibilities, this role will help to contribute outbound thought leadership, develop and implement new processes to help streamline our workflow, and help to win new work alongside our business development team.
The best fit will be a person with a bias toward action, the ability to work in a fast-paced environment, and a knack for keeping an eye on the details — all while maintaining a positive and upbeat culture.
