You're into marketing. Specifically the social kind, content and community building kind. You have 3-5 years of marketing experience under your belt, and know how to build modern, premium brands. You're good at marketing strategy and planning. You can do event marketing, content marketing, social media, email marketing, public relations and maybe even some creative. You like it all, and you're willing to learn something new.

You can weave magic with words. You are a natural storyteller. You can think critically, research deeply and craft compelling stories, essays and articles. You understand the nuances of structure, flow and pace in long-form writing. You can write smart, concise, clean short-form content. You obsess over grammar, and find joy and beauty in well-crafted sentences.

You're an idea person. You can think laterally, and come-up with wonderful, sometimes eve weird ideas. You can think both in terms of 'breadth' (can you put 100 ideas on the table?) and 'depth' (how deep you can go into one idea and detail it down to execution?)

You're good at coordinating. With people. On all types of projects.

You dig deadlines. Set your Pomodoros. Productivity for the win!
