– Facilitate stakeholder alignment across departments, making sure creative and experiential work supports broader campaign and initiative goals.

– A genuine understanding of the creative process—you can speak the language of designers and directors

– Proven ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously without losing attention to detail or creative standards.

– Experience working within an in-house creative team or internal agency (agency background welcome, but internal fluency matters here).

– Working knowledge of production tools (e.g., Adobe Workfront) and generative AI, with the ability and eagerness to quickly learn and apply them in daily workflows.
