• Partner with Sales leadership to position CS as a driver of commercial outcomes across both brand and performance objectives.
• Deliver bold, insight‑led creative thinking that leverages Snap’s most innovative formats, AR capabilities, and AI tools.
• Champion the adoption of AI‑accelerated workflows, embedding smarter, faster, story‑led creativity within team processes.
• Build a culture of experimentation and innovation, encouraging the development of scalable creative frameworks, playbooks, and reusable assets.
• Establish clear systems and success metrics to enhance creative quality, delivery efficiency, and commercial impact across markets.

• Commercially minded: views creativity as a growth driver, connecting insights and innovation to measurable results.
• Collaborative: builds strong partnerships across Sales, Marketing, and cross‑functional teams, shaping integrated approaches.
• People leader: mentors and motivates senior strategists, fosters inclusivity, and builds a high‑performance culture.
• Innovator: embraces data‑informed creativity, emerging technology, and AI‑driven tools to elevate creative effectiveness.

• Proven ability to lead diverse, multi‑disciplinary teams across multiple markets and deliver high‑impact creative work.
• Strong record of influencing senior stakeholders and presenting creative points of view with authority and clarity.
• Deep understanding of both brand and performance marketing, with an ability to connect creative outputs to business outcomes.
• Experience working within a global or matrixed organisation, translating global strategy into effective regional execution.
