This position is open in the greater Seattle area and open to fully remote for candidates based in the Chicago, IL area, with the possibility of transitioning to a hybrid work model.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

The Director, Brand Communications is a senior creative leadership role- responsible for the ideas, storytelling, and messaging that define how Sono Bello connects with patients and prospective patients across every channel. This is not a media or analytics role. It is a creative strategy role, and the right candidate will have spent their career making and shaping communications that move people.

We have been moving from a single-product company to a multi-product portfolio. For a creative leader, that means the opportunity to build messaging architecture and campaign platforms across a growing range of products and services.

You will lead a mix of internal creative staff and external creative agency partners, bringing the strategic vision and creative authority to get the best out of both. You will write briefs that inspire great thinking, lead reviews with a clear point of view, and hold a high bar for what gets made. You understand the difference between work that checks a box and work that actually moves people.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Creative Development & Production

Lead creative development from brief through production and launch. Originate and shape the ideas that define how the brand shows up across TV, video, digital, social, and direct response. You bring strategic clarity to a brief and creative conviction to a review. You know what good looks like, and you do not settle for less.
Communication Strategy

Define and evolve the brand's communications strategy across paid, owned, and earned channels. Build the messaging architecture and campaign frameworks that connect Sono Bello's business objectives to the patients and prospective patients who matter most. Ensure brand storytelling and direct response communications reinforce each other rather than pulling in different directions.
Creative Agency Leadership

Set the creative direction for external agency partners and hold them accountable. You write briefs that inspire great thinking and give feedback that elevates the work. You know how to build a relationship with an agency that brings out their best, and you are not afraid to push when the work is not there yet.
Internal Creative Team Management

Lead and develop a small internal team managing production, influencer partnerships, and ongoing content needs. Set the standards, prioritize the work, and build a team culture rooted in craft, accountability, and continuous improvement. Invest in your people and help them grow.
Cross-functional Collaboration

Partner with the Integrated Media team, service line, and analytics teams to understand what is working and why. Use performance data and consumer insight to sharpen creative strategy over time. You believe in evidence as much as instinct, and you use both to make better work.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• 10-15+ years in brand communications, creative strategy, or advertising - agency-side, in-house, or both
• Deep experience leading TV and video creative, including brand and direct response formats, from brief through production
• Track record managing creative agency relationships with clear direction, high standards, and the ability to push partners to produce their best work
• Proven ability to develop communications strategies and creative platforms that connect brand positioning to business results
• Comfortable developing communications that serve both brand-building and direct response objectives without sacrificing either
• Consumer brand, healthcare, or direct-to-consumer experience strongly preferred. Fortune 500 or scaled national brand experience a plus.

We ask all candidates to share examples of their work. We are most interested in seeing a campaign or platform you helped originate, examples of TV or video creative you have led, and work where you can speak to both the creative thinking and the results it drove.
LEADERSHIP ATTRIBUTES

You have strong creative instincts and the strategic vocabulary to back them up. Your curiosity about consumers, culture, and what makes ideas land is genuine and ongoing. You simplify the complex, write briefs that actually inspire something, and share your point of view clearly and constructively. You lead with authenticity, invest in the people around you, and build teams that are proud of what they produce. You do not wait for perfect data to form an opinion, and you do not settle for work that is merely good enough.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Sono Bello has built one of the most recognized brands in medical aesthetics on the strength of its outcomes, its people, and its ability to connect with patients at a deeply personal level. This role is the opportunity to build the communications strategy and creative foundation that takes the brand to the next level.
