Ideal candidate will have:
- Comfort with discussing invoicing, finances, money, and billing with clients;
- 2-3+ years experience in a nonprofit, advocacy, creative agency or other professional environment, with preference for digital experience at a firm/agency or foundation/association;
- Strong project management skills – able to wrangle a team towards a big picture goal and write action-oriented follow up emails, meeting notes and summaries;

We’re also looking for:
- Holistic and innovative approach to systems pertaining to project finances and workflows, comfortable learning new tools and technology;
