• Cross-Agency Orchestration: Act as the primary connector between various VaynerX entities, facilitating collaboration and integrated pitches that leverage the full power of the holding company.
• Pitch Management: Drive the end-to-end pitch process, including stakeholder coordination, brief development, deck creation, and rehearsal logistics.
• Strategic Growth: Proactively identify opportunities for organic growth and cross-selling within existing client relationships across the portfolio.
• CRM & Reporting: Maintain impeccable data integrity within our CRM systems, providing leadership with real-time insights, win/loss analysis, and revenue forecasting.
• Relationship Building: Cultivate relationships with internal agency leads and external intermediaries to keep VaynerX top-of-mind for upcoming RFPs and projects.

• Project Management Ninja: Proven ability to manage multiple high-stakes projects simultaneously without dropping the ball.
• Storytelling Mastery: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can take complex capabilities and turn them into a compelling narrative.
• Collaborative Spirit: A natural "dot-connector" who thrives in a decentralized environment and can influence stakeholders across different teams.
• Tech Savvy: Proficient in CRM tools (Salesforce/HubSpot), Google Workspace, and presentation software (Keynote/Google Slides), and leading AI tools (Gemini, Claude etc.)
