We Crave a Strategist-of-All-Trades!

Want to be a key part of Espresso Boston’s growing team?

Darby Day

We’re looking for a Strategist—someone who will be comfortable wearing multiple hats during this “start-up” phase of growth for the Boston office. Sometimes you’ll play more of an Accounts role, at other times you’ll be the Creative Director—and some days you may end up running out for office supplies or picking up catering for a client pitch. Whatever you’re doing, it’ll be as part of our growing team of super-smarties: Can-do types with serious digital and social savvy and a strong entrepreneurial streak! This is definitely a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-your-hands-dirty kind of position—so if your ideal gig includes words like “structure” and “killer amenities,” please do not apply.

So, what would you have to do?

  • Monitor industry trends and identify growth opportunities for both Espresso and its clients.
  • Define and articulate integrated digital, social, and experiential marketing programs, including overall strategy, tactics, resources, timeline, budget, and projected ROI for clients across multiple industries.
  • Serve as a key member of the Client Services team, leading client meetings and presentations, contributing to key deliverables, and ensuring that client satisfaction is exceptional!
  • Produce presentations, estimates, proposals, and strategic marketing plans—among other client deliverables.
  • Contribute to Espresso’s thought-leadership efforts through blog posts, white papers, podcasts, videos, and other digital content. Bring your creativity and ideas to the table!
  • Participate in new business pitches and RFP responses.
  • Conduct digital ethnographic research.
  • Monitor and measure marketing tactics/programs, set up client dashboards, generate reports, analyze data, and provide strategic insight.

Required skills and experience:

  • At least 5 years of experience in a marketing or sales support function, preferably for a major consumer brand.
  • Fluency in all major digital and social platforms—FOR REAL.
  • An ability to fluidly move from high-level strategic thinking to laser-like detailed thinking at a moment’s notice.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and oral.
  • Strong research/online “stalking” capabilities: You’re someone who can find a needle in a haystack with no trouble, and look good doing it.

And ideally, you’d describe yourself as:

  • A self-starter who loves the idea of helping to shape and influence the growth of a new kind of agency.
  • You’re not intimidated by the unknown; you’re naturally, insatiably curious.
  • You’ve been known to “color outside the lines” and roll your eyes at the status quo. You firmly believe that nothing is impossible.
  • You have a big brain, an even bigger heart, and a disproportionately small ego.
  • You have a strong desire to be part of a team that does amazing work—and is Amazing at Life™. Seriously.
  • You are slightly obsessed with the evolution of technology and really, truly love geeking out on the latest, greatest trends.
  • You have at least one freakish talent that we WILL make you share with us over cocktails. Or mocktails, be that as it may.

Think that’s you? Send a resume and cover letter noting your favorite blog and salary expectation to jobs [at] brandinfiltration.com. Only those on whom we develop preliminary professional crushes will be contacted.

    so why am i talking to you? i miss working closely within a team and look forward to building a boston espresso and doing more great work.
    i hope you are interested in talking more.
