  • Anticipate platform trends and harness emerging technologies to ensure creative consistency and speed across all channels.
  • Manage timelines and deliverables in partnership with Creative Ops.
  • Guide your team in presenting creative work to stakeholders and drive alignment across teams.

Requirements:

  • Strong portfolio of digital ad creative, lifecycle campaigns, landing pages, and iterative test-and-learn executions.
  • Proven experience in regulated industries, preferably financial services.
  • Fluency in GenAI tools to speed up concepting, production, and iteration.
  • Experience building and executing creative testing roadmaps across paid and CRM channels.
  • Familiarity with multivariate testing and rapid creative experimentation.
  • A strong POV on what makes creative work in a performance-driven environment.
  • Hands-on skills in creative tools e.g. Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.
    Comfort with data—can translate performance metrics into actionable creative strategies.
  • An eye for good design, strong UX instincts, and a bias toward rapid iteration.
  • Exceptional organization and project management skills, versed in a variety of project management tools. 
  • 10+ years in a creative leadership role with a focus on performance and growth marketing, with 5+ years experience of directly managing teams, agencies, and cross-functional creative processes.
