What creates a disruptive growth team?

What does a team need to focus, thrive, and execute above its competitors?

How will you blend tactful leadership and fluid communication while leaving room for team members to own their role?

These are the questions that exceptional team leaders ask in order to organize and execute across an organization.
They don't complete tasks. They empower teams.

• Excellent at managing clients (you'll be coaching the team on this, so you MUST be great at it)
• Respected by team members (you cannot lead without trust).  References we can reach out to are required.
• Superb at aligning teams for efficient execution.
• Naturally unsatisfied and proactively ensuring teams deliver repeated client wins and a great client experience.

In case you're wondering:

• This is a FULL TIME role, estimating 39-44 hour weeks.
• This is by NO MEANS is this an endless agency grind of weekly overtime.
  
  

Required skills, experience, and attitude:

• A positive, professional, can-do attitude is critically important. We prioritize enjoying our day and the team we work with. We pass the ball a lot during a project. You'll interact with everyone on our team, and you'll need to match our quality, productivity and echo a can-do vibe to fit our culture.
• Working knowledge of organic, social, and email marketing. 
• Minimum of 5 years of demonstrable growth results.
• Ability to analyze data to determine areas of improvement and campaign performance.
• Familiar and comfortable with presenting campaigns and client updates through video conferences.
• Knowledge of brand positioning.
• Must have a firm grasp of English with the ability to write, edit, and speak the language.
• Experience in organic marketing. 
• Working knowledge of HubSpot is a must.
• Mojo. We completely thrive on it. You'll need to bring quite a bit to fit in.
• Strong task management, time management, and team collaboration.
• Attention to detail.
• A quick learner with a strong desire to learn and implement new skills.
• You're competitive...with yourself. You're the type of person who likes keeping score and wants to continuously improve. We review a team scoreboard weekly to see how we're doing and what opportunities we have for growth. Ideal candidates love the challenge and want to hit their numbers.
• You're data-focused. We don't like living in spreadsheets, but they do make it easier for us to see where we should focus. The ideal candidate enjoys looking at data like traffic, bounce rates, conversion rates, and everything of the sort...because this is where the opportunities are spotted.

What makes you an even better fit:

• You can edit and produce high-quality audio and/or video (and have the clips to prove it).
• You’ve used HubSpot Marketing Hub tools (landing pages, email, CTAs, etc.) enough to be dangerous.
• Knowing your way around SEMrush, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console is a plus. 

That’s what we expect from you. But what about your expectations of us? 

Our “Secret Sauce” is a combination of work perks, culture, and working the way you want:

• Minimal meetings. Minimal wasted effort. Minimal BS. 
• Agile Methodology. Short sprints of focused work for great results!
• Adherence to our core values in everything we do.
• Mojo-driven workflow. We'll let you get in that groove and eliminate distractions!
• Competitive wages with performance-based incentives.
• Paid professional development (yes, we pay you to better yourself).
• Design your schedule. Change it as needed. Work in whatever environment brings out your best. Flexibility!
• We’re not big on layoffs. We haven’t had one since we started in 2002. 
• Join a team with a track record of client success; we’ve helped our clients generate over $200 million in revenue and secure over $100 million in funding. 
• Did we mention Paid Professional Development? (the right people get really excited about this)

The Bottom Line: this is a position for people who want to work with great brands, create great results, and level up their skills with a great team.  

We expect you to deliver your very best work consistently to create wins for clients. As part of a tight-knit, peak-performing lean growth team, we expect you to help us continuously learn, improve, and build our future as a company.
