  • Represent the agency in conversations with founders, operators, and partners.


Qualifications

  • Proven experience leading outbound sales or growth teams.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to create structure, manage people, and drive consistent execution.
  • Background in a digital agency, design studio, SaaS, or services org is a plus.
