The successful candidate will be a seasoned operator with a proven track record in managing hyper-growth and working closely with founders to bring a disruptive vision to life. This hands-on role requires the ability to balance high-level strategic planning with day-to-day operational tasks, and the ideal candidate will have experience in scaling teams, building and reinventing processes, and managing financials to ensure the company's success. The COO will be responsible for harmonizing the executive team, nurturing a culture of excellence, and fostering deep collaboration both within the company and with its parent organization. Applicants for the COO position at the company should be optimistic, nurturing, collaborative, and decisive leaders with a passion for spreading joy. The role demands a leader who is energized and ambitious about AI integration and has a strong background in marketing agencies, particularly in creative and social settings. Experience in project management, staff planning, resource management, and financial analysis is essential, as is a history of partnering with founders and a deep understanding of the legal and best practices for a creative agency. The company values a candidate who can balance big dreams with operational practicality, and who is adept at managing the tension between client needs and operational success. The role is pivotal in ensuring the company's continued growth and cultural relevance, particularly with Gen Z and Millennials.Hiring Manager TitleCEO / Co-FounderFunctionsOperations
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
