## Job Description

## What you’ll do
- Develop creative concepts, campaigns, and brand platform work across all channels and formats
- Provide creative direction and oversight across the full department — your creative authority extends beyond your direct reports
- Manage and develop a growing team: writers, art directors, designers, video editors, developers and social
- Concept and create key pieces yourself when the work demands it - you are a “player / coach”
- Set art direction and copy direction for campaigns, brand, web, product, video, events, and social
- Work with product marketing to translate briefs into powerful creative ideas
- Oversee photo and video shoots alongside the Studios team and freelance production crews

## What you’ll need

- Someone who is actively utilizing **AI** in their creative process today
- Proven ability to direct and elevate writers, art directors and designers
- Incredibly strong art direction sensibilities, deep knowledge of industry defining work and sharp instincts for language and tone
- Experience leading and mentoring creatives, not just directing work
- Comfort with ambiguity — we're building the plane while flying it, and you'll help define how this department operates. Things change often, that needs to motivate you.
- Experience directing video and motion work, not just static and copy
- You understand that great advertising and great content aren't separate disciplines
- Someone who has made their career out of making things. Proactively creating their own opportunities.
