Requirements

• You have 6-8 years of relevant consumer, CPG, travel, and/or social impact experience, while also craving diversity in account experience.
• You have experience in agency land or on the client side in a fast-paced environment, leading multiple projects, lines of business, and growth areas simultaneously.
• Writing is your superpower, particularly persuasive writing that has successfully been applied to draft media pitches/advisories, key messaging, bylines, and op-eds.
• You're experienced in new business pitch rooms and are skilled at presentations - both developing written communications and confidently presenting to clients and senior leadership.
