This is a high-visibility individual contributor role focused on turning business objectives and buyer insights into compelling, performance-driven creative.

You will collaborate closely with designers, paid media, growth, sales, account leadership, and executives to strengthen campaign thinking and client-facing work. You will also contribute to strategic pitches, portfolio opportunities, and campaign-style case studies that demonstrate measurable creative impact. Success means helping teams move from one-off asset requests toward scalable campaign briefs grounded in hypotheses, testing, learning, and business outcomes.

• Lead creative direction, campaign concepting, messaging strategy, and performance copy direction from initial brief through production handoff.
• Translate campaign and creative briefs into creative territories, concepts, hooks, headlines, CTAs, landing-page narrative direction, and message sequencing.

• Run real briefs through a campaign-level creative process covering insight, hypothesis, concept, copy direction, production, launch, and learning.
• Establish a creative review rhythm focused on concept quality, message clarity, testability, and business relevance.
• Build early campaign-style case studies, internal proof points, and reusable messaging resources that support future creative growth.
• Help establish a repeatable creative testing process based on hypotheses, variants, data, and decisions.
• Contribute to a message and proof library that enables learning to compound across campaigns.
• Maintain and evolve brand standards across multiple channels while ensuring creative remains differentiated and performance-oriented.

• 4–6 years of professional creative experience, with meaningful experience in an agency, professional services, B2B marketing, or comparable environment.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating both brand and performance creative, including examples of visual systems and campaigns designed to produce measurable results.

• Strong understanding of creative strategy, storytelling, campaign development, and performance-oriented messaging.
• Ability to translate ICPs, positioning, personas, jobs-to-be-done insights, proof points, objections, and funnel-stage context into creative concepts and hypotheses.
