If you thrive in high-pressure environments and excel at optimizing workflows, this is your chance to make a significant impact.
This is a strategic and operational leadership role focused on ensuring that the entire agency runs smoothly and effectively.

• HR Oversight: Work closely with the HR department to ensure smooth recruitment, onboarding, and employee engagement processes while fostering a positive workplace culture.
• Finance Oversight: Collaborate with the finance team to manage budgets, track spending, and align financial goals with company objectives.
• Operational Oversight: Manage day-to-day office operations, fostering an organized, high-performing work environment.
• Performance Tracking: Develop and monitor KPIs, creating actionable reports to inform the CEO of progress and opportunities.
• Resource Management: Ensure budgets, timelines, and resources align with company goals while maintaining exceptional quality.
What We’re Looking For
• A visionary leader who can manage cross-functional teams, including HR and finance, in a fast-paced, creative environment.
• A problem-solver with exceptional organizational skills who thrives under pressure.
• Someone with a proven track record of delivering results in operations or project management within a marketing or creative agency.
Requirements
• Education: Bachelor’s in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field (MBA preferred).
• Experience: 7+ years in operations or project management, with experience overseeing HR and finance teams preferred.
• Skills: Strong leadership, project management, and communication skills.
• Expertise: Proficiency in budgeting, resource planning, and using project management tools.

• Be part of a team that combines art, technology, and storytelling to create exceptional campaigns.
• Thrive in a culture that rewards ambition, creativity, and results.
