• You will build and maintain top-level client relationships in a way that feels appropriate and authentic to you. You are responsible for articulating to clients how design helps solve their problem.
• Above all, you’ll be here to have fun and make HERC a better agency, boosting our creative obsession and our independence. You will use your knowledge and understanding of design to help us grow.
