You are key to building a positive work environment. You are an experienced leader and manager, and have built dynamic teams.

You balance the client's needs with the priorities of the team at Mojo, and motivate and inspire your team to do the same. You thrive in a fast-paced, fluid environment with poise and gravitas. You are the bat call - when things go awry on our retained or project client's business, you're the person they call.

• You know production like the back of your hand - you know the lingo, you've been on loads of shoots, you can teach your team how to cover shoots. You don't want to attend shoots but you will if the business requires it or to teach people.
• You are available and open to client travel as needed
• Serve as the liaison between agency general counsel and the account team, routing and reviewing all legal documents.
• When it's needed, you are a show person - you sell sell sell

Internal Team Management

• Collaborate with Team Leads to ensure seamless process and workflow across disciplines
• Partner with Dean in talent pipeline development
• Make sure the work is good, make sure your team is focused on the work, the primacy of the strategic and the creative idea, that it's well crafted - escalate when it's not

Business Development/Management

• You can speak to Mojo like you've been here forever...you learn the ropes fast, you know how to sell the company
• Work closely with Finance Director (to be hired) to ensure that the agency is paid on time and to track profit margins across projects.
• You are trustworthy, calm, strategic, kind hearted, strong willed, collaborative, creative, you have high expectations for yourself and others, you're here because you want to work at a start up and build something great. You don't wait for direction. You say when you need help, when you need support.

It's crucial that all of these efforts be made through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Efforts in this space are considered broad responsibilities for every employee at Mojo Supermarket.
