Hello. Hey. Hi.

We're an international staffing agency specializing in marketers and sales reps, and we're looking for someone who can talk through hiring strategy with our clients. This is for an internal position, working directly for us.

It's a very fast-paced job, and you'd work alongside a super-sharp team.

You will not be running any marketing.

Your job is simply to talk, strategize and charm.

Our team is fun.

Everyone here is high-energy and engaging—if you want this role, you’re a schmoozer, and people are drawn to you.

You’ll be getting on calls with CEOs of SMBs and talking through their needs.

Should they hire a Social Media Manager? Do they actually need a Paid Ads Expert? Or maybe a Shopify Developer instead? Maybe they just really need a new a good Project Manager,.

You'll need to be incredibly familiar with marketing.

You should know what these are: Shopify / HubSpot / Google Ads / E-Commerce / SEO.

Responsibilities

  • Show up to meetings. Make people fall in love with you. Get them to sign engagement letters.
  • Work closely with our Senior Account Exec, our Sales Manager, and our CEO to figure out process changes.
  • Talk through strategies with clients.
  • Debate with clients on what their correct hiring decisions should be.
  • Win those debates.

Requirements

  • A minimum of 2 years of marketing experience
  • A minimum of 2 years as an Account Executive / Account Manager
  • In-depth marketing knowledge. You will not get this job without this knowledge. We will quiz you.
  • Exceptional communication skills, enabling you to effectively convey ideas, address client needs, and close deals.
  • Willingness to work in line with US East Coast hours to ensure seamless collaboration with our team and clients. 9 am - 6 pm EST
  • You should be good enough at Google Sheets. Like...you know a few formulas off the top of your head.
  • You speak quickly. This is a fast-moving team. You'll find no better match if you’re looking for that.

Important Note

All applications should be submitted in English
