About RareOne

RareOne Group is building a modern platform that empowers independent marketing agencies to scale like enterprises—while maintaining the focus, creativity, and agility that make them great.

We bring together best-in-class agencies under a shared infrastructure of talent, systems, and support—allowing each to grow faster without losing their identity. Today, RareOne includes three agencies (MKR, RingoFire, MightyUnion) and ~100 employees, with ambitious plans to expand. See rareone.io. This is a remote position with occasional travel. Preference for Eastern or Central U.S. time zone.
