We're a digital marketing transformation agency where brand purpose meets business performance. We help our clients stand out in a crowded world, but behind every great campaign is a team of rockstars-and that's where YOU come in. As a Resource Manager, you'll be the orchestrator of talent, the mastermind behind staffing, and the glue that holds it all together.

  • Smooth Operator: You'll lead weekly staffing meetings with finesse, driving discussions on team availability and project needs. Ad-hoc meetings? No problem. You'll coordinate and manage them on the fly.
  • Resource Inventory Pro: We know the devil is in the details. That's why you'll maintain a rock-solid inventory of core skills and the context in which they're used-so we know exactly who can do what, when.
  • Capacity Communications: You'll keep your Portfolio Leads and Discipline Leads informed and up to date on project statuses, pipeline, and resource forecasts, ensuring a seamless flow of information.

What We're Looking For:
  • 3-5 years of resource management, staffing, or workforce planning experience in an agency or consultancy environment (digital marketing agency experience is a huge plus!)

  • A keen eye for detail and a passion for managing people and projects.
  • A love for data: You're comfortable with reporting and utilizing data to forecast and analyze trends.
  • Strong communication skills: You'll be working with a wide range of teams and clients, so the ability to communicate clearly and effectively is key.
  • Ability to stay organized and juggle multiple moving pieces-especially when deadlines are tight.
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to proactively solve problems and step into action as needed.
  • Experience with staffing tools or resource management software.
