Candidate in the Crowd: Maura Wall Hernandez

Today's Candidate in the Crowd is Maura Wall Hernandez

As The #ShuftanJobReport roars with OVER 11,200 subscribers!!!!!!, I am rolling out my second phase to help people. I post the report on M/W/F and want to use T/Th to feature excellent candidates. I built this community as a way of bringing together job searchers and those who are hiring. As an homage to Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd," I titled "Candidates in the Crowd." This is a white space for candidates to discuss their previous work, hopes, and dreams and show off anything to the network. The Candidate will capture a hiring manager's attention, and good things will happen.

Make sure you are following The Shuftan Job Report for all prior Candidates in the Crowd posts and job postings.

Meet Maura—digital comms strategist, influencer whisperer, and unofficial process architect with over 15 years of experience that reads like a 'who's who' of brands. She's spent the last decade at agency heavyweights WPP and Omnicom, where she's taken Fortune 500 clients like Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Nestlé and sprinkled some serious marketing magic on them.

What makes Maura tick? She's a 'Strategic Visionary,' someone who can look at a brand's story and see a direct line to a cultural movement—think of her as the Gandalf of content strategy. She's also a 'Process Architect,' and no, that's not just resume lingo. Maura has built social media systems so smooth and efficient they'd make a Swiss watch look chaotic.

When it comes to quality, Maura sets the bar high. Being a 'Quality-Driven Leader' means she won't rest until the content is sharp, the insights are deep, and the results are, well, epic. And she's got the EQ to match; as a 'Relationship Catalyst,' she builds partnerships with the ease of someone making friends at a dog park, minus the puppy bribes.

What's she looking for? Maura's ready to bring her superpowers to a senior leadership role where she can make an immediate impact, or she's open to consulting stints if you need a digital strategy reboot or influencer marketing overhaul. She's like a one-stop shop for big ideas and flawless execution, and she's only an email ([email protected] ) or LinkedIn DM away.

Enjoy her entry:
