Responsibilities

Lead the work. Own copy and concept direction on major campaigns from brief through production. Establish the language, craft the storytelling, and push the work past the obvious across film, digital, social, OOH, and whatever format the idea calls for. The funnel is your playground, and the best creativity-rich experiences go well beneath the surface.
Create across media. Performance-driven creativity is our rocket fuel for solving problems. You have perspective on how to earn attention and spark engagement at the outset of every project.
Partner and elevate. Here, we are each other's people. You'll collaborate with strategy, digital, visual designers, verbalists, client services, studio artists, and production to ensure creative integrity across every handoff and every touchpoint is a seamless exchange.
Move with purpose. You're nimble by nature, and equally comfortable in a fast-turn social brief and multi-layered brand launch. You show up where needed and respect timelines without letting them flatten the work.
Use AI as a creative accelerator. Neither a crutch nor a novelty, we expect you'll use AI tools as part of how you explore, draft, and pressure-test ideas. We want someone who's already figured out how to make them serve the work, and who isn't afraid to push into new territory.
Contribute to new business. Help concept and pitch ideas that win.
