The person in this role acts as the primary point of contact between partners and the in-house agency, resolving issues, managing communication, and driving prioritization of projects to ensure completion.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a significant impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
