About us

Winston is an independent, AI-native creative agency. We're about 40 people: senior US strategy paired with an incredible production team in Buenos Aires. We're doing some of the best work of our careers, we're growing fast, and there's a good chance the company will be acquired in the next five years. We'd love for you to help us get there, and to be right there with us when it happens.

We're fully remote, but we're not strangers. There's a lot of camaraderie here, and once a year the whole team gets together somewhere in the world. Last year was Peru, and this year is Panama. We work hard and have fun doing it. We're also very transparent: we share the financials, we share the creative tools, and any idea is a good idea.

The role

You'll start in business development, working directly with and supported by our co-founder. This isn't a cold-calling job. Mostly you'll help us engage people at conferences: prepping for the conference, following up with folks, keeping everything organized, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. We have tools and processes that make this easy. What we need is a smart, passionate person to get it done, and to use their initiative when they spot a better way.

At first, the job is mostly about taking direction and being really detail oriented. That's how you learn how a creative agency actually grows.

Where it goes

This is the part we're most excited about. The path goes from biz dev to project manager, then producer, then project director. For the right person, that can happen fast. If you're smart, determined and empathetic, and you really care, we'll keep giving you more.

Along the way you'll:

• - Learn how a creative agency grows, from the inside
• - Get hands-on with the AI tools we use every day
• - Meet clients
• - If all goes well, come to conferences with us and lead big, interesting projects

You might be a great fit if

• - You're coming out of college and want a job where you'll actually learn something
• - You want to be part of the future of creativity and AI
• - You're detail oriented and you like seeing things through
• - You're happy to take direction now and eager to take on more later
• - You're good with people and you care about how they feel
• - You're based in the US, Canada or LATAM

Compensation: this depends on where you are in the Americas, but this is a PAID role.

If you want to help build the future of creativity and AI, and you want to do it with transparent, down-to-earth people, we'd love to meet you. Lean in, and there's a lot of room to climb here.
