- Bring a strong creative vision and sharp sense of taste, setting the bar for what great work looks like across campaigns and raising the quality of every touchpoint
- Conceive and execute first-to-market creative campaigns that tell bold stories, connect with audiences, and drive KPIs - bringing a sharp POV and clear creative direction to internal teams, agencies, and external partners
- Craft compelling creative briefs and presentations that inspire great work and drive alignment and buy-in across stakeholders at all levels
- Manage freelancers, vendors, and agency partners end-to-end, with the operational rigor to keep simultaneous campaigns on time, on brand, and at a high creative bar
- Partner closely with media planning and buying teams to crack how creative can work harder across placement, platform, and audience - and translate campaign performance and media insights into sharper creative decisions on future work
- Apply emerging tools and technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and drive smarter, faster, and more scalable campaign workflows
- Lead cross-functional collaboration with media, post, international, and platform partners, navigating blockers and driving decisions that move campaigns forward
- Mentor junior team members and establish best practices for production, media operations, and data-informed creative work
Ideal Candidate - 6-8 years of experience in paid media, creative marketing, or digital production within film, entertainment, or a related industry
- Demonstrated expertise across the paid media landscape
- Working knowledge of ad tech (e.g. DSPs, DCO tools, generative creative applications), with a point of view on where the space is heading
- Proven track record leading complex, multi-vendor production workflows at scale, with strong creative instincts and a clear POV to develop, articulate, and defend ideas that raise the bar
- Skilled with tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Google Suite, and project management platforms (e.g. Airtable, Asana)
- Deep passion for film marketing and entertainment; strategic, curious, and resourceful, with a drive to push creative and media boundaries
