We’re looking to add a couple of key members to our agency team. 

Not just anyone is right for Schaefer, and we’re big enough boys and girls to realize that we aren’t right for everyone either.  In the end, the right fit is everything.

To love it at Schaefer – you need to be passionate about adding to the culture of our team. We avoid drama like the plague. Wallflowers and people with thin skin need not apply. You better be funny – you’ll be tested on this. If you don’t think we’re funny, chances are we won’t think you are either.

We’re a group of life-long learners, so if you think you know everything you won’t make it here. Be an active learner and an active teacher of others. We absolutely love what we do, but there is a world outside of our walls. We’re looking for people that are highly engaged and realize the importance of being a part of something bigger.

PLEASE.  PLEASE. PLEASE. READ THE JOB REQUIREMENTS BELOW – if you don’t meet them, don’t like them or can’t do them, then save us all the heartache.  We’re sure you’re nice and willing to learn, but we know what we’re looking for.  (Yeah, we ended a sentence with a preposition, we live on the edge.)

SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER

What we’re looking for:

• 4-5 years AGENCY experience
• A type A personality or pretty darn close to it
• Much of your time will be spent working on B to B clients, so you better like B to B, in fact, you should love it
• Primary client is a Berkshire Hathaway company, so this is big stuff
• Demonstrated success at measuring results of marketing initiatives
• The ability and desire to communicate well-thought out opinions and be ridiculously articulate when you present them
• Likes to lead, but knows when to follow
• A great team attitude
• The ability to juggle multiple projects

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC RELATIONS

What we’re looking for:

• Someone that understands PR has changed dramatically.  Classical “textbook” PR is not a viable model.  You’ll need to be well versed in your philosophy of PR and demonstrate how your view translates into leading our clients and growing our business.
• At least 7 years experience.  Agency side mandatory, client side a huge plus
• Comfortable working in B to B and B to C
• A heart. You can’t be a soulless leader at Schaefer. Your ability to connect with people and make a positive contribution to our culture and our client relationships is one of the most important attributes to have.
• Takes full responsibility for managing the PR business unit
• The desire and the personality to independently grow the PR account base
• Develop well-thought out strategic plans for PR clients. Strategy is not something we take lightly; our thinking is what differentiates us and keeps our clients happy. You’ll work closely with the advertising Account Service to ensure our plans are well integrated. You’ll have to demonstrate that you are not only smart, but can articulate that thinking in a clear and persuasive manner. 
• A bigger retainer isn’t the only answer, but better thinking always is.
• Get the concept of Team.  It’s important to us, in fact it’s vital to who we are as an agency.
