A degree in English or Journalism is a plus. Maybe you've even been a journalist covering digital marketing technology for a retail industry trade publication. Or you're a writer/creative director in a creative agency that works with retail clients.

When you hear Bonobos, you think monkeys—wearing colorful pants.

Content Creation & Strategy: You have great respect for words—both written and said. You probably think this job post is too long, and you might have a few suggestions on how to trim it down. You know how to explain complex concepts in clear, pithy prose. You've also had experience beyond just writing but managing multiple contributors and the non-linear process of generating lengthy, finished pieces.

Results-oriented: You obsess over measurement and you enjoy optimizing campaigns. You know that failed experiments are an important part of the process.

Organization and deadline orientation: You hate the thought of anything slipping through the cracks. Maybe you had a slipping-through-the-cracks experience in second grade when you forgot it was your day for Show & Tell, and the memory still haunts you. Spreadsheets, checklists, and words such as thorough are your comfort food. Your desk is probably organized, and it probably confuses the heck out of you that some of your friends find ways to be productive in a state of disorganized chaos.

Resourceful and gets stuff done: You have a way of making things happen even if it seems impossible - like pulling off a home-cooked dinner party for 30 people with 45 different dietary restrictions at your place at a week's notice - while making it all seem easy.

Persistence: You’ve probably been called obsessed once or twice as you’ve pursued a personal interest. When you latch onto something you care about, you dont let off the gas until its done.You are not afraid to be aggressive and to reach out to people you don't know.
