JOB DESCRIPTION

This is not a position for a taskmaster or a software dev PM, but someone that understands the nuances of brand and marketing development; can adjust their delivery to multiple personalities, and can be predictive as to the needs of the project. This position reports to the Transformation Director.
Fieldtrip is a team of explorers, seekers and brand activators who combine our talents into something bigger than all of us. Together, we turn unreal talent into real results. We are very selective about who we work with and do not settle for anything less than the best talent. Expect us to dig into your experiences through multiple interviews and perhaps an exercise or two. If a stringent hiring process excites you, read on.
