Job description

Welcome to Drive. We’ve recently taken on a new client and are building 2–3 marketing teams around top performers. While this role begins at the entry level, we’re focused on longevity—we want to internally train select candidates from an assistant role into a managing director position within 12 months. It may seem fast, but that’s the speed our clients expect, and we never back down from a challenge.

We’re especially interested in candidates with an athletic background (Yankees fans preferred) or a competitive mindset. Athletes understand discipline, resilience, and teamwork—and those qualities are exactly what drive success here in our fast-paced market.

Our ideal candidate:

• Passionate about the causes we represent


• Puts integrity above all else


• Strong team player, with a competitive edge


• Comfortable communicating with diverse demographics


• Excited to take on leadership responsibilities


• Thrives in fast-paced, challenging environments


• Bachelors in marketing, MBA preferred


• Local or able to relocate within 2–3 weeks

Responsibilities include:

• Set up and execute marketing presentations on behalf of our clients


• Provide daily feedback to team leads and weekly reports to account managers covering KPIs


• Build and manage site relationships


• Travel for networking events once every 2–3 months


• Conduct monthly team presentations to track progress


• Stay current with client initiatives


• Prepare market research prior to new events


• Suggest new revenue opportunities

We’re new to the city and looking to build a strong foundation to grow from. All employees receive paid training, a base salary, and the opportunity for bonuses and benefits after 90 days. We’re looking to fill this role immediately and will prioritize local candidates who can attend in-person interviews.
