  • Experience working closely with a founder or CEO as their media partner and managing a small creative team.
  • Strong grasp of direct-response fundamentals, brand building, and how content supports complex, high-ticket B2B sales cycles.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; you can write in a founder’s voice and keep it sharp.
  • Comfort operating in a growing, founder‑led company where you’re building systems, not just running existing ones.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to Boston and work in‑person with Rens and the team. Flexible WFH policy.
