You are

  • A natural storyteller. You can spot the hooks that grab peoples’ attention and craft engaging stories that inspire.

  • Hunger to level up your Marcomms capabilities. You’ll have deep curiosity to level up in new disciplines to become a true Swiss Army Knife of Marcomms, and the ability to swiftly learn and use tools like Hubspot, Webflow, Figma and Customer.io.

  • Excellent written and spoken English. You write in clear, concise, human English and can tailor messages to audiences, whether senior government officials, frontline staff, or prospective employees.
