Apply For The Position

Your Day-To-Day:

Account performance, QA and workflow management
- Oversee agile processes and ensure account teams are operating efficiently while ensuring activities of all team members deliver month-over-month growth and qualified leads in accordance with the scope of work
- Manage the workflow of multiple client projects simultaneously, including project timelines, workloads, cross-functional teams, and project objectives, to ensure all of those elements are staying on track. Enter detailed tasks into our project management tool for assigned projects
- Adapt project scope, schedules, and resource assignments as required throughout projects to respond to emerging requirements and risks

Communication
- Serve as a point of contact between clients and the account teams to establish expectations, provide insights, handoff project deliverables, field feedback, etc.
- Understand the individual client's challenges and build a strong relationship with them to ensure they feel valued while simultaneously reinforcing Ironpaper methodologies
- Communicate overarching strategy: what we are doing and why we are doing it (and what we are not doing and why) and the results of that strategy

Technical Expertise and Operational Insights
- Use various tools such as Teamwork and HubSpot; participate in trainings to advance knowledge
- Observe your accounts and uncover insights about effective processes and practices to share with your Account Lead
- Continuously question the value of our work to ensure our efforts create results. Ask, "How can we do more with less?" Openly share concerns before they become issues

Strategy Execution, Reporting, and Storytelling
- Gather data from each team member and document insights. Facilitate sprints with appropriate commitments through story selection and task definition

Hands-On Mentorship
- Guide account team members using Agile methodologies while simultaneously reinforcing Ironpaper methodologies and developing appropriate documentation. Ensure naming and organization of client files are consistent and easy for the team to find.
- Frequently review client feedback calls and use the feedback to pivot current project elements to set the team up for success
- Coordinate client requests and set project expectations that are aligned with key business goals

"Agile … is an attitude, not a technique with boundaries. An attitude has no boundaries, so we wouldn’t ask 'can I use agile here?', but rather 'how would I act in the agile way here?' or 'how agile can we be, here?'” -Alistair Cockburn.

We need someone who is self-motivated, obsessed with learning, and inherently kind.

You must be an agile lead with substantial skills in agile methodologies.

Learning & personal development for this role:

If you are an individual that embodies a passion for continuous learning and personal/professional growth, we are looking for you! Ironpaper's methodologies relate to all aspects of your career with us, so the willingness to grow in a company culture that may be unfamiliar to you is a must.

Growth is never-ending at Ironpaper and we understand that no one will ever know everything, so it is important that you want to continue to develop your skills for the lifetime of your career and not just to meet the minimum requirements. To encourage skill development within your first year we offer developmental opportunities including both HubSpot and Google certifications.
