Responsibilities

• Drive Growth
  - Win business and lead teams to do the best work of their lives.
• Lead Ideas
  - Serve as the primary conceptual engine for the agency. We need big, bold ideas that work across channels and make news.
• Lead People
  - Serve as a department head. Mentor, develop, and hold your team accountable — art directors, designers, copywriters, strategists, and content creators.
• Lead Quality
  - Own creative output across the agency. Everything that goes out the door reflects your standards.

Requirements

• 14+ years leading creative work at an agency — ad, PR, social, integrated, or digital (not exclusively traditional advertising). Your portfolio demonstrates campaign concepts that worked across disciplines: copy, design, video, influencer, social, experiential.
• You think in ideas, not formats. The concept comes first; then you figure out where it lives — a TikTok, a billboard, a stunt, a spot, all of the above.
• You have a culture-first instinct. You naturally ask: What's the headline? What's the hook? Why would someone cover this?
• You're culturally fluent. You know what's gaining traction online, what feels tired, and when a brand should — or shouldn't — jump into a moment.
• You understand the categories. You've worked with consumer/lifestyle brands, especially beverage, food, or CPG, and you know how these markets move.
• You can present and sell work. To clients, to internal teams, in new business pitches.
• You lead without ego. You mentor generously, give direct feedback, and elevate the people around you. Zero drama.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity. We're building this as we go. You'll help shape what the creative department becomes.
