Key Responsibilities

Develop ideas that earn attention because they deserve attention.
Partner closely with strategy, production, and account leadership to turn ambitious ideas into reality.
Build trusted relationships with senior clients, becoming a strategic and creative partner rather than a vendor.
Lead day-to-day client conversations with confidence, guiding discussions, addressing challenges, and creating alignment around the work.
Present and sell ideas with conviction, clarity, and the ability to make others see what doesn't exist yet.
Mentor emerging talent and help shape the next generation of creative leaders.
Raise the creative standard of everything you touch.

Required Skills & Abilities

A portfolio filled with ideas people wish they'd made first.
Exceptional storytelling, presentation, and persuasion skills.
The ability to earn the trust of senior clients and become an indispensable advisor to their business.
A relentless curiosity about culture, technology, media, and human behavior.
Equal comfort leading the room, leading the client, and leading the work.
A belief that the best work is still ahead of you.

This isn't a maintenance account.
This isn't a role for someone looking to manage the process.
This is a chance to lead work that matters. Work that gets talked about. Work that changes lives.
If you're the kind of creative who still feels a rush when an idea lands, and still believes the next brief could produce the best work of your career, we'd love to meet you.
