Global Creative Marketing Director
About The Position
Grant Thornton is seeking a Global Creative Marketing Director to join the team. Approved office locations can be found below. We’re looking for a creative leader to shape the next chapter of Grant Thornton’s global brand. This role sits at the intersection of design, storytelling, and technology. You’ll define how our brand shows up across every touchpoint - from repositioning and advertising to M&A integration and global campaigns. You’ll lead a global creative team and work with top agencies to build a brand that’s unified, modern, and distinctive. You’ll care as much about enduring ideas and brand craft as you do about the potential of AI and emerging creative tools. This is your chance to leave a lasting mark on a brand in transformation.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business or other relevant area, or the equivalent experience.
- 15+ years leading creative teams at scale within complex or global organizations, including at least 5 years in a head of function or equivalent role.
- Senior leadership experience translating CMO business strategy into creative strategy and execution.
- Led creative function through major organizational transformation: M&A integration, global rebrand, PE-backed restructure, or platform consolidation involving multiple acquisitions.
- Strong portfolio showing multi-channel campaigns and best-in-class sales materials that win business and drive revenue.
- Deep expertise in building modern brand identity systems and breakthrough campaigns.
- Proven ability to develop, inspire, and grow creative talent.
- Curiosity and confidence with AI, design technology, and digital-first creativity.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Lead and grow a multi-regional creative team, building a culture of creativity and high performance.
- Set the creative vision and direct all work across client-facing sales materials (proposals, credentials, pitch decks), campaigns, TV, digital, video, print, social, and emerging platforms.
- Provide strong creative direction - guiding and challenging the team to deliver their best ideas and execution.
- Develop and execute global-to-local creative strategy — translating brand campaigns across markets while adapting for cultural nuance, regional business priorities, and local audience behavior.
- Drive brand integration through M&A activity, uniting acquired firms under one brand.
- Build and manage the agency ecosystem — run RFPs, select partners, and ensure strong creative standards.
- Translate business priorities into bold, effective creative that connects with audiences and drives results.
- Evolve and protect the global brand system so it remains flexible, future-ready, and clearly differentiated.
- Champion the use of AI and new technologies to enhance creativity and efficiency.
- Work with senior leaders across marketing, digital, and analytics to align creative strategy with business goals.
- Present and advocate for creative ideas with clarity and conviction.
- Manage budgets and resources effectively while staying ahead of industry trends.
Benefits
- Whether it’s your work location, weekly schedule, or flex time off, we empower you with the options to work in the way that best serves your clients and your life.
- Here, you are supported to prioritize your overall well-being through work-life integration options that work best for you and those in your household.
