What you’ll do
As a creative explorer…
At your core, you’re a master designer – always seeking to uncover solutions and ideas through design. You thrive on big ideas and extraordinary design and providing inspirational leadership for the creative team. You know when you need to roll up your sleeves and when to focus on vision. You are a storyteller, a brand strategist through design and creative to the core.
As an advocate for design…
You are expert at communications – saying what you mean and hearing what others mean to say, whether in a one-on-one conversation or in a formal presentation.
You’ll be very good at building relationships – with clients and within the office. You’ll be good at this not just because it’s a requirement of the job but because you’re passionate about relationships and are sophisticated at dealing with different personalities and different seniority levels. You’re a diplomat and do not fear confrontation. You thrive leading a team and understand the different contributions different individuals make.
As a business leader & mentor…
You are a strategic thinker, understand branding and love it when you really understand a client’s business and arrive at insights that solve their challenges via their brand.
You are results-focused, very organized and a skilled planner. But you are also an improviser who knows that ambiguity and changing priorities are common. You know finances, financial goals, reporting and metrics and how to manage these.
You are a team leader and a player; understand team interaction and roles of team members. You perform well in a team environment and foster communication and cohesion between internal teams and functions.
Finally, you are optimistic and enthusiastic but also a bit restless and dissatisfied.
What you’ll need
