About you:

• Strong, savvy communicator. When collaborating, you know when to be direct and when to be flexible. And most importantly, you know how to drive alignment across senior executives, including C-suite. You’re good at seeing the bigger picture, and no matter the seniority, you are able to help keep others focused on the end goal. When others overcomplicate or get stuck, you can see past the noise and suggest clean, clear-cut solutions.
• Creative and curious nature. You enjoy learning new things and pushing the envelope. You actively suggest visual and communication improvements that elevate the quality of your deliverables.
• Natural storyteller. You are a strong writer who can construct a cohesive narrative and develop content that emphasizes our strengths. And because we work in advertising, you know that no story is complete without powerful visuals in a clean presentation.
• Clear headed do-er. You understand how to carve a path to execute on a new idea, but you also know that continued success at scale requires honest feedback and replicable processes. 
• Devil with the details. Whether you are organizing a team with parallel workstreams or delegating tasks, you can maintain sight of the big picture without ever losing sight of those pesky little details.
• Lead by example. You’re a team player, who knows how and when to activate the agency’s global talent for the most effective outcomes. And you understand that mentorship is often most effective when taught by example. 

Additional requirements:

• Significant agency experience working with proposals, presentations (new business)
• Previous responsibilities for managing pursuits (project management, research, content development, etc.)
• Presentation design capabilities a plus
• Marcomms agency experience
