- Desire to work creatively to find talent outside of standard job boards.
- Support marketing objectives, examples include researching events and potential prospects, preparing newsletters, and queueing up social media.
- Help with business development efforts, including responding and following up with prospects and managing them in the CRM, preparing proposals, and completing contracts.

- Previous experience in operations where your work contributed to organizational success.
- 2+ years of similar experience in a digital agency, consultancy, or equivalent setting.
- An obvious drive to grow and learn from the highly-skilled team around you.
- Familiarity with HR software like Freshteam, collaboration tools like Jira and Slack, and internet job boards.
- Fluent English and highly-developed communication skills.
It would be nice if you also had:
- Knowledge of large-scale open source web technologies (such as Drupal, WordPress, and React) and the software development lifecycle.
