About the Role

You will act as the senior-most creative leader for one of the world's largest packaged goods companies. You will build client trust through your keen eye for overall brand consistency, leading a multidisciplinary team of creatives, designers, and production professionals. In our fast-paced environment, you will lead, motivate, and collaborate on processes to achieve outstanding creative results with minimal churn and roadblocks. We are looking for someone passionate about seeking new opportunities, being part of a nimble AI-forward team, and creating impactful work.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and oversee a diverse range of advertising media projects, ensuring creative and production teams align with Monks' values, client objectives, and audience engagement.
  • Develop and implement creative strategies that align with client objectives and Monks' values, ensuring audience engagement and brand consistency.
  • Drive creative excellence from pitch to final delivery, proactively identifying campaign needs beyond initial requests and producing compelling, well-designed presentations.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously in a high-speed environment, pushing creative and technical boundaries to exceed brief expectations.
  • Bring strong production thinking and problem-solving skills to the table, developing novel creative solutions for execution.
  • Own the responsibility for flawless creative execution of projects, seeing them through from pitch to final delivery.
  • Proactively think about how to create not just what the client asked for but what their campaign needs, producing beautifully designed decks that are in line with the project's objectives and requirements.
  • Multitask multiple projects at once in a high-speed environment to go above and beyond each brief and push what's possible on both a creative and technical level.

About You

  • You have at least 10 years of CD-level experience or 3-5 years of ECD-level experience in advertising at the highest level.
  • You are adept at identifying growth opportunities within existing projects and possess strong client-facing skills, comfortable presenting creative concepts and strategies to key stakeholders.
  • You are an inspiring and hands-on leader who can coach, develop, and mentor a multidisciplinary team.
  • You can independently lead fast-paced projects but also love going the extra mile when painstakingly pushing running projects to perfection.
  • You are highly confident in an environment where volume and assets at scale are the goal.
  • You're a digital genius with an innate taste for the latest and greatest social platforms, digital / AI technology, an instinct for snappy writing and a natural feel for visual design.
  • You are confident leading different types of work spanning from digital and social campaigns to hero films and TVCs.
  • With strong pitching and presentation skills, you can represent Monks by showcasing our cases, capabilities and culture to clients.
  • As part of a global company operating as one team across time zones, you need to be able to successfully direct work at a distance.
  • You understand the process and politics of advertising inside out and know when to be pragmatic if that's what it takes to keep things moving.
  • You possess a thorough understanding of Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, InDesign, and After Effects, with a strong passion for motion graphics and editing.
  • What We Offer

  • Excellent, full coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer-paid HRA
  • Generous PTO and 15 company-wide holidays
  • 401k with company contribution
  • Paid parental leave
  • Work-life balance with an emphasis on personal well-being
  • Career growth in a disruptor space & entrepreneurial opportunities within the Monks network
  • A globally diverse & inclusive culture with employee resource groups such as S4 Melanin, Pride.Monks, Cultura.Monks, and more!
  • Authentic commitment to DEI efforts and sustainable growth.
  • Salary Range

    $155,000—$185,000 USD
