Summary

Join Viget as a Client Strategist and be part of a digital agency that values lifelong learning, collaboration, and work-life balance. As a key member of the team, you will work with clients to develop strategies, create proposals, and deliver results. The ideal candidate is logical, entrepreneurial, and enjoys solving problems.

Requirements

• Have 3-7 years post-grad experience (ideally) in a consulting, startup, or digital agency role
• Deeply value coworkers’ expertise and talents, realizing that those talents are Viget’s greatest asset (and essential to the execution of your ideas and strategies)
• Stand out as an exceptional communicator—a great writer, a confident speaker, and a keen listener

Responsibilities

• Review incoming project requests, do initial research, and talk to prospective clients virtually or in-person
• Read RFPs, conduct strategy calls, and write engaging proposals and custom project plans based on these discussions
• Run the pitch process, collaborating with designers, copywriters, and technologists to develop a practical, yet ambitious, vision for a new client engagement
• Give presentations that are tailored to a specific client’s needs, that resonate with decision-makers, and that pique the interest of results-driven stakeholders
• Love research, prep work, and equipping the team with data points that will help them be equally impressive during pre-sales discussions
• Enjoy the negotiation process that comes with winning new business—striking the right balance of scope, schedule, and price to close a deal
• Treat all client relationships with a long-term perspective. Many of our larger projects began as small, short-term engagements
• Get things done. No matter what you're doing, you take pride in your work and in your ability to hit deadlines. You enjoy responsibility and working hard
