Who exactly are you?

You’re a digital native, born from the expansive fallopian tubes of technology. You also have a love for branding, understanding how the intricacies of branding and digital weave together in this strange and slightly disturbing parental analogy.

You have your finger on the pulse of digital, marketing, branding and business news, with your go-to device quite literally at arm’s reach. Even better, your arm is a device because you’re part cyborg. You enjoy working closely with other people—be they team members, clients or partners. Your attention to detail is precise, your reflexes swift and your juggling skills are legendary. You know your way around a few acronyms, including CRM, CMS, UX, UI and almost any other combination the industry decides to coin. You appreciate a good laugh, a good business sense and a good exposed brick. You’re a fan of a good brew (beer, coffee or any other liquid that exists outside of those, if such things exist), you eat office snacks on the reg and enjoy sharing all the cool shit you find on the internet (every Friday).

What to expect?

On the day-to-day, you’ll work alongside our Client Services team and use your organizational skills to manage multiple accounts, maintain relationships and stay on top of the to-do list. Week-to-week, you’ll work alongside our Scrum Master in delivering against timelines and budgets, whilst fielding the inevitable curve ball here and there. Month-to-month, you’ll forge strong relationships with new and existing clients, adding strategic value to the external accounts but also sharing knowledge internally with the team. From time to time, you’ll even get to wear different hats and toques by going to social networking events, writing for our blog or maybe even showing off a hidden talent (we have exactly one magician in the office right now).
