- Stay hands-on where it counts, contributing directly to high-visibility work when needed.
QualificationsWhat we're looking for- 8+ years in creative leadership, brand design, or art direction, with growing responsibility for teams and cross-functional work. (Equivalent depth of experience matters more than the exact number of years.)

- Experience leading a creative team and managing external agencies or vendors.
- A track record of connecting creative strategy to business goals and measurable outcomes.
- Excellent creative direction, visual design judgment, and brand storytelling.
