The role demands an effective communicator, who’s just as comfortable consulting for executive clients as they are mentoring our team members, and isn’t afraid to get up on stage or speak to the trade press. What you’ll be doing: INTERNALLY - Guide Codeword’s strategic approach, and help it evolve - Coach strategy team members to further develop their skills and help them grow - Maintain a collaborative, connected, empowered team of strategists by retaining high performers, identifying growth opportunities, and attracting new talent to the team - Advocate internally for Codeword’s strategy team and our approach to the work - Collaborate with the agency leadership team on high-level business decisions - Make strategic business recommendations to help Codeword grow and stay on the cutting edge.

After-hours emails are strongly frowned upon, night and weekend work is very rare, and employees are encouraged to pursue their side-hustles. - We’re all grownups here, and we trust each other to get the work done, whether at home or in an office or a time zone on the other side of the world. - We believe in defaulting to openness. Our calendars, our salary tiers, and our doors are open for all to see. (Except for secret client stuff, which we guard with our lives.) - We’re a proud member of the global WE Communications family. - Equal Opportunity: Codeword provides equal employment opportunity and doesn’t discriminate against employees or applicants because of age, race, color, religion, gender, national origin, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, or other legally protected class status. - Diversity and Inclusion: Codeword works hard to foster a diverse team and an inclusive workplace where everyone thrives. We aren’t a traditional agency, so we like to hire people who don’t necessarily fit the agency mold or check all the “right” boxes. If you’re on the fence about applying, please do!
