What I want most is a place where people are valued as much as performance. Remote flexibility is non-negotiable for me, and a team that genuinely gets along makes all the difference.

Hi! I turn marketing chaos into clear campaigns and keep dozens of client programs running smoothly without the usual fire drills.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm Kaylea. I'm the person who can tell you exactly which of your 15 campaigns is about to go sideways before you can. For 5+ years, I've been the air traffic controller between program ops and integrated marketing, clearing the runway so the big ideas actually get off the ground. Sales, creative, paid media: I'm the one making sure 100+ client programs land on time while keeping churn under 5%.
I'm the same person in a client call as I am at a happy hour: warm, steady, glass-half-full, and a genuinely good communicator. I'm based in Austin, fully set up to work remotely, and I'm looking for a team that treats people like people, not just headcount, where the culture is as strong as the results.
