about the client

About you

We are looking for a bright, driven individual who has as extreme attention to detail and holds themselves and others to a very high standard.

On the marketing side, we’re looking for someone who can own a number. Someone who can own both the ad budget and the revenue targets for ticket sales to our event. That means meticulous tracking and continuously optimizing spend based on real data – and the reaction to the reporting is “Oh goodie, data! Lemme at it” rather than a deep sigh before completing the “chore”.

On the project management side, we need someone who loves the minutiae and a series of big green checkboxes as a project comes to fruition. A person who is hyper-organized and enjoy cajoling and cheerleading (or flogging, as needed) a team to the finish line.

If you’re looking to get a lot of experience in a wide variety of functions, this is an incredible opportunity.
