Formación

• 12+ years of creative experience in an agency, design studio or comparable environment including senior-level creative leadership.
• A portfolio that shows exceptional conceptual thinking, art direction, design craft and integrated creative work.

Responsabilidades

• Find the idea. Get beneath the brief, ask better questions and turn complicated challenges into original, compelling creative concepts.
• Set the standard. Bring a sharp eye, strong art direction and a deep respect for design, storytelling and execution. Care about the big idea and every detail that makes it work.
• Make people care. Take subjects that can be technical, sensitive or difficult to explain and make them clear, relevant and human.
• Think beyond the medium. Lead creative across digital, social, film, video, experiential, paid media, out-of-home and emerging platforms. Start with the idea, not the format.
• Make the team better. Inspire, mentor and challenge creatives. Give useful feedback. Recognize talent. Create the conditions for people to do the best work of their careers.
• Stand behind the work. Present ideas with clarity and conviction. Build relationships with clients. Know how to push without making it personal, and how to protect a strong idea while making it stronger.
• Get it made. Work across disciplines, manage competing priorities and navigate the realities of complex projects without losing sight of what made the idea worth pursuing.
• Stay curious. Explore new tools, technologies and ways of working, including AI, without confusing what's new with what's good.
