  • Effectively use project management and account management tools like Google Docs, Basecamp, and time tracking tools.

  • Liaise with the team executing on the client project to stay on top of roadblocks and deadlines and to ensure quality.

  • Handle minimal project management which includes client status updates (weekly), building and maintaining the project schedule, ensuring deliverables are met, reviewing the project budget and ensuring the project hours/contractors are on budget.

  • Work with the Director of Strategy to find ways to market and promote Industrial Brand to our target audience and help execute on these strategies to help generate new client relationships. Tactics may include marketing promos, emails, web content, and social media.

  • Experience working on branding projects and successes working with clients on these projects.

  • Proficient use of social media, digital marketing platforms, websites, web tools and other office tools.

  • Experience working with demanding, attention to detail driven clients.
