Before You Apply
Have concrete work samples ready (briefs, decks, or talking points you personally authored) since the ad specifically calls for demonstrable examples. Write a genuinely personal cover letter, as the employer explicitly screens out generic or AI-sounding applications. Confirm your comfort with a hybrid schedule and travel-heavy calendar management before applying, given the pace described.
