You’ll manage a team of three plus freelancers, and you’ll make sure audiences and advertisers see Dwell and Domino in the right places at the right moments. This role suits a strategic, hands-on leader who is as comfortable in a brainstorm as in a client meeting or a production budget.

• Post-sale: Lead sold programs from concept through activation so the original vision holds through execution. Oversee program budgets, production, talent and external partners, and manage client and agency communication alongside Sales.
