Job Description

CULTURE:

We are a passionate people and a flat, non-political organization. Everyone on the team is a senior-level subject matter expert, and respected as such. This means we are always collaborating and experimenting to find the best results possible in an unbiased way, and everybody can + should lend experience to our collective goals of growth for our clients, each other, and our agency. However everyone has different styles, and that's respected as well. If you are your best self when left alone to grind on your strategies, or super vocal and engaged and want to work directly with your clients and other SMEs, you're empowered and entrusted to do whatever you please to create your best work. Before the world changed we did monthly happy-hours, and instead of taking them virtual we now do weekly wellness hours on Fridays with a guest speaker. And every 1st Friday that's a no-work day at all, called a FriCAY (like vacay). That of course went really well for team happiness + health, so we doubled down + recently declared ourselves an Unlimited PTO organization. Building company culture is a little trickier when you're all virtual, but we try to get creative in staying connected with interesting virtual events, without mandating awkward socialization.

BENEFITS + WORK/LIFE BALANCE:

• Unlimited PTO
• Off Every 1st Friday Of The Month... YES, AN ADDITIONAL 12 DAYS PTO PER YEAR
• Competitive Pay
• Health Insurance
• 401k
• Free MasterClass Membership
• Remote WFH
• Flexible Schedule, No Matter Your Time Zone

It's a collaborative effort, so it's important we are open + hold each other accountable as well. As such, that takes a lot of self-confidence, communication, and empathy. Sometimes, an idea we had does not pan out, and we have to own that quickly and objectively. Sometimes we have to analyze + challenge client's beliefs or processes, and we have to do so sensitively and vulnerably. Most times, we're kickin' ass and making it fun, and we just have to be humble and never take our wins for granted. What's important to us is that we have good people who care, and are tough on performance but easy on emotion and realize it's all part of the process, and just be committed to doing the best we can with our fellow people every day we're lucky enough to do it.
