Senior Communications Strategist

POV Agency is an LA-headquartered, inclusion-driven strategic communications agency that colorfully reimagines how branding is done and who it’s done by.

Founded in 2019 at a kitchen table by a kid (sort of) with a dream, we believe that a varied, textured, nuanced, and colorful perspective is a strength and often an untapped one.

We are not your run-of-the-mill agency. We are a diverse and spirited group of strategic communications and marketing experts with varying XP, backgrounds, beliefs, and interests.

This person will join a team that is growing fast and building a unique company culture. We’re crafting a creative, intentional team that straddles corporate communications and consumer lifestyle, or what we call CORPORATE AND CULTURE.

Our team caters to the entrepreneurs, the start-ups and the 24 / 7 grinders, as well as the biggest names in business.

We are looking for the following :

• A curious team player with a strong POV, willingness to learn and ask questions while actively problem-solving for themselves, their colleagues, and their clients.
• Someone with a passion for championing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion within your workplace. This is one of your core values.
• A person with a strong grasp on what makes an account run, a client satisfied, and an editor fulfilled. While practicing excellent client service, this person is willing to go above and beyond to deliver for our clients, but also knows how to establish and maintain personal and professional boundaries.
• A thought leader who is willing to dig in in the day-to-day work with clients, as you are with the people on your team and the organization.
• An entrepreneurial spirit only you set the boundaries of what you can do, contribute to and earn at POV.
• A team player with a deep understanding of earned media and what it means to deliver. We need someone who can see things through the eyes of multiple audiences.
