Job Description
Responsibilities
- Own work streams from brief to execution
- Dive into the brief, find the strategic tension, develop multiple creative ways in, and help us decide what is strongest, clearest, and most worth making.
- Create and shape the work
- Concept, write, art direct, design direct, edit, polish, and push ideas across campaigns, film, social, content, design systems, pitches, and whatever else the work requires.
- Turn strategy into culture
- Translate insights into ideas people notice, remember, and talk about. That might be a campaign, a stunt, a piece of art, a collaboration, a product drop, or something stranger.
- Build the presentation
- Help turn rough thinking into a senior level presentation. Structure the story, sharpen the language, frame the ideas, and make the work easy for clients to understand and believe in.
- Write and direct
- Bring the rare combination of writing and visual judgment. Improve the line, the idea, the script, the art direction, the design direction, and the way the work lands in the room.
- Lead without floating above the work
- Guide creative teams while staying close to the details. Set direction, jump into a script, reframe a concept, sharpen a line, or help make a deck stronger.
- Own feedback and revisions
- Take client and internal feedback seriously without making the work softer. Find the note inside the note, protect the idea, and make the next version better.
- Move ideas into production
- Help ideas become real. If it is a video, move into script and production. If it is design, move into the system and execution. If it is something else, keep it moving.
- Bring craft into the AI age
- Use AI and emerging tools intelligently for exploration, iteration, production, and workflow while protecting the human judgment, taste, and craft that make the work distinct.
- Raise the bar
- Mentor younger creatives, contribute to pitches and proactive ideas, and help build the creative habits, references, and standards that define MIJO as we grow.
