5d • $100,000 - $125,000 • Remote

About The Position

tmp helps B2B marketing leaders create coherence in a chaotic world. We’re looking for obsessively curious people to join us. You'll join 300 B2B experts across strategy, data, creative, media, client services, Sales activation, and shared services. Different skills brought together in integrated teams, centred around our clients: the world’s most impactful tech companies. So, if you’re interested in what makes the world work, if you find solving complex problems fun, and you love making the answers as simple as possible, then we’d love to hear from you.

Requirements

• 7+ years’ experience in a design-based creative role (Agency experience preferred but not essential)
• A portfolio of work that shows your thinking and craft (which we will treat with discretion).
• An eye for detail—you set high standards for your work and expect the same of others.
• Experience of working in B2B marketing is great, but B2C works too.
• A collaborative spirit and the confidence to own the room — with colleagues and clients alike.
• The ability to simplify the complex and make it impactful.
• Comfort switching between big conceptual thinking and day-to-day content — and doing both well.
• A keen sense of how creativity shows up across different platforms — and what makes ideas stick.
• A mastery of creative programs including the Adobe Suite, proficiency in telling stories and selling in ideas with Microsoft PowerPoint, experience with animation and AI programs a plus.

Nice To Haves

• Interested in technology, the role it plays in everyday life and you have an opinion on AI.
• Appreciate the importance of processes and systems and will understand that sometimes we must bend the process to meet the needs of the work and our people.
• See the bigger picture and want to use your talent to build with creativity, not just deliver on what’s in front of you.
• A team player and see collaboration as a superpower.

Responsibilities

• Work day-to-day, side-by-side with a multidisciplinary team, including designers, art directors, writers, strategists and media specialists.
• Hold client relationships through the lens of creativity, understanding, interpreting and helping them shape their ideas and goals into something the creative team can build.
• Help guide and oversee the direction of projects in partnership with a Creative Director balancing when to challenge and when to deliver.
• Lead creative projects from ideation to execution. Hold client relationships from a creative standpoint — presenting work, leading conversations, and offering creative input.
• Be able to distil (sometimes very) complex information into simple benefits.
• Lead by example with an eye for detail, showing the team and clients what great quality work looks like.
• Make one half of an excellent visual-verbal pairing on conceptual work. Happy to pitch headlines and appreciative when writers suggest visual ideas.
• Take a reasonably strategic approach. You’re someone who looks at a client’s challenges in the round, and you don’t switch off at talk of 'funnels', 'personas', and 'go-to-market'.
• Craft quality, bold, original concepts, and deliver them across a range of B2B communications from brand awareness campaigns to account-based marketing.
• Own your ideas and advocate for them, with a willingness to flex as required.
• Generate ideas that are surprising and differentiating while still being relevant for the target audience, express the client proposition, are easy to understand and simply expressed, and interact thoughtfully and playfully with copy.
• Lead creative work that uses wit, intelligence and lateral thinking, takes complex business offerings and translates them into feelings, is distinctive, inviting and easy to understand, is appropriate to the audience, the medium and conforms to brand requirements, and fits, evolves and artfully re-directs brands.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Pre-tax flexible spending account (FSA) – healthcare, dependent care, and transit available
• 4% 401(k) contribution with no vesting period
• Plentiful paid time off (at least 20 days recommended)
• Sick leave (15 days annually)
• Holiday shutdown (December 26th - 29th)
• Parental leave (Primary caregiver: 12 weeks full pay and then 12 weeks 50% pay; Secondary caregiver: 12 weeks full pay)
• Access to Unmind (well-being platform, including access to therapists and coaches)
