• Be a creative leader amongst your team of Art Directors and Copywriters (including a mix of full-time associates, contractors, and agencies).

• Collaborate with marketing strategists and internal business clients to positively influence marketing strategy and the customer experience.

• Use evidence and data to ground your creative decisions.

• Demonstrate expert knowledge of advertising and marketing trends and translate business intent into creative strategies and executions that market products effectively.

• Present and influence with a convincing and inspiring style to increase buy-in and open the door for new opportunities - both for your team and department.

• Mentor and build expertise in your craft with your peers and team members.

• Manage multiple projects, deadlines and workstreams autonomously at the same time.
