Digital marketing hustlers are looking for a new team member to fill our ranks!

Who we are? Respect.Studio is an award-winning digital marketing agency with a key focus on B2B, established in 2015. Essentially — we are a team of digital marketing enthusiasts (or rather ‘digital natives') helping businesses to generate leads and build brands using alternative marketing channels. Our main expertise lies within LinkedIn and we consider ourselves as one of the best teams in this niche.

Who are we looking for?
We are in need of a passionate, proactive and communicative hustler, to build long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with our clients. As the bridge between our clients and our team, you are part salesperson, part customer service. You are all about doing whatever it takes to get the job done and put a smile on our clients' faces and keep them happy while looking out for the team.

You are a problem solver at heart, and understand how to communicate good AND bad news with tact and diplomacy. You’re a relationship-building wizard and can make people feel comfortable with you very quickly. You aren’t scared of dealing with challenging situations and know how to keep track of details so they don’t fall through the cracks. You’re a leader and can speak up even when it’s not your area of expertise as well as listen intently to capture key information and subtext in any interaction. You know when to push and when to let things simmer. You help drive us to produce our best results through understanding the client’s business model, marketplace and factors affecting sales, understanding our products, capabilities and techniques while balancing our resources and bottom line.

To succeed in this position, you are an exceptional communicator and team player, have excellent problem solving skills, are resourceful and analytical, adaptable and organized with the ability to build rapport with clients.

Must have:
- Fluent English (at least C1, no exceptions here). You will be presenting us and communicating directly with our clients (orally and in writing) and copywriting in English that sounds native, thus, we need to make sure that your English is great.
- Excellent communication skills — we work as a team, so being a lone wolf will work against you
- Excellent strategic thinking or problem-solving skills
- Attentive Listening, ability to empathize and emotional intelligence
- Attention to detail and organizational skills
- Ability to multitask, self-manage and prioritize (you will be working on multiple accounts at once)
- Ability to negotiate and work towards a win-win outcome
- Previous experience in account management, sales or customer service
- Previous experience in working with with foreign clients or in foreign markets
- Ability to learn fast. It’s okay if you don’t have lots of marketing experience, we are ready to help get you up to speed but you need to absorb it quickly and properly.
- Understanding of Marketing and Digital Marketing basics. You will be part of digital marketing campaigns so you need to understand online behaviour
- Important — 99% of our work is done online, so yeah, we expect you to be a proficient PC user. Most likely, you have no problems with using a laptop, Google Sheets and Google Docs, and different tools but still, need to mention this anyway, just in case :)
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Would be a bonus:
- Experience working in an agency environment (B2B is a bonus)
- Experience working in the marketing industry (agency experience preferred)
- LinkedIn user experience
- Experience working in remote or international teams.
