  • Manage multiple companies, audiences, deadlines, stakeholders, and approval processes at once, keeping creative files and digital assets organized.

  • Evaluate creative performance to improve future work, and stay current on creative practices, production technology, and emerging platforms.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • A strong portfolio demonstrating creative direction across design, video, photography, social, web, or multimedia.

  • Proven ability to translate brand strategy and business objectives into original, high-quality creative work.

  • Strong project-management skills, managing multiple companies, deadlines, stakeholders, and approvals at once.

  • Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, and comparable design, video, and motion software.

  • Ability to give clear, actionable creative feedback and develop team members and vendors.

  • Strong judgment, attention to detail, and commitment to quality, originality, and brand alignment.

  • Confidence presenting and defending creative recommendations to executives and senior leadership.

  • Professional, dependable, and proactive, and available for occasional after-hours events, project-location visits, and travel as needed.
