We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.

This is a hybrid role with the expectation that you will need to go into the office 3 days week. You must be located within 50 miles of our Denver, CO office located at: 3320 Walnut St, Denver, CO 80205

THE ROLE

We are seeking a highly experienced and motivated individual to join our team as a Growth Director, focusing on driving sustainable revenue growth from net new clients, primarily, though also at times supporting growth initiatives across organic / existing client business. In this role, you will be responsible for leading the net-new pitch process, developing executive level relationships with clients, and collaborating with marketing teams to enhance our company's positioning. The successful candidate will have a strong background in architecting and selling solutions across the gamut of branding, experience design, creative, ecommerce, technology, product design, innovation, systems integration, digital media, and / or other comparable services.

JOB PURPOSE

You must be able to quickly build trust and rapport, ask the right questions, and bring a strategic approach to selling agency solutions. An entrepreneurial spirit with a bias for action and problem-solving is necessary to be successful in this role.
