You have strong communication skills to connect with internal and external stakeholders with ease, from local developers to far-flung marketing colleagues.

You are not someone who expects a drove of agencies to support you on strategy, or to drive your opinion. We're hiring you, for you, not for your vendor connections.
You are not a 'ta da' marketer. We don't work as individual contributors who showcase finished work. We build our plans together, most typically in a lightweight way.
