About You

You learn like it's your job—because it is. You ask questions, and you don't settle for unsatisfying answers. When you come across a problem, you devise a solution, and then you start working on a back-up solution that anticipates future problems. You are obsessed with growth and building things while not being afraid to get your hands dirty. And you are a natural hustler with a contagious "can-do" attitude. You're comfortable collaborating with—and seeking out—everyone from graphic designers to data engineers, because you know that there's insight to be found everywhere. Above all, you're not afraid to take responsibility for guiding your projects from start to finish.  

This successful candidate will have:

• Proven track record designing and executing successful public relations campaigns at both a local and national level through media outlet relationships and reporting on key results
• Proven experience in developing, executing and managing a content plan from development to successful execution
• Experience acting as a company spokesperson; comfortable and skilled in both broadcast and print media interviews 
• A strong portfolio and a proven track record of delivering high-quality content at scale in a business environment
• A strong leader with experience building and managing a strong team of marketers while also passionate about the team’s continuous learning, development and growth.
• SEM experience / SEO best practices when writing and Google Analytics experience.
• Exceptional interpersonal and relationship building skills with proven ability to collaborate across functions.
• Experience producing content across a range of formats e.g. written, visual, hybrid, live/event-based both on and offline
• Ability to work at both a strategic and tactical level

Nice to have:

• Relevant industry experience (e.g. advertising technology, partner relationships, affiliate marketing) preferred.
• Experience with Hubspot, Google Analytics, Looker and Salesforce preferred.
