The manager must be a strong collaborator and communicator — in email, writing, Keynote presentations, on the phone, and in-person. You not only grasp how our digital product design and development capabilities can transform a client’s business, but you are also passionate about digital products personally. You bring a solid understanding of our unique offering in the market, along with our distinct processes and workflow, enabling you to identify new client opportunities and responding to requests. 

What You Will Do

• Collaborate across internal cross-functional teams to pull together, proofread, and format business development materials, including pitch documents, presentation decks, and case studies. You’ll work directly with our new business team leaders across offices as well as our most senior leaders across disciplines.

• Demonstrated self-starter comfortable trying new things, quick to learn new skills, and able to proactively identify new opportunities.
• Proven ability to identify trends, patterns, and insights from data, and then, devise ways to turn insight into action. 
• Excellent prioritization and time-management to meet deadlines while also balancing multiple concurrent tasks.
• Well-versed in design and technology. Since we are a digital product company, you have to understand what we do to be successful.
