- Serve as a senior client-facing leader, providing clear direction and trusted creative counsel
- Stay ahead of platform trends, evolve best practices and translate insights into actionable creative recommendations
- Oversee resourcing and team structure, supporting hiring, onboarding, utilization tracking, and performance development
- Establish and oversee critical back-end processes to ensure effective delivery of high volume of assets
- Champion agency culture, processes, and cross-functional collaboration
Qualifications:
- 7-10+ years leading social creative for major brands within an agency environment
