• Develop senior-level written and conceptual materials such as vision statements, brand stories, presentations, messaging structures, thought leadership pieces, and executive communications.
• Coach and guide cross-functional creative teams while giving clear feedback, direction, and support to maintain high creative standards.
• Make sure creative output supports strategic goals while creating meaningful experiences for customers and stakeholders.
• Encourage strong collaboration among creative, strategy, and client teams throughout the full project cycle.

Requirements

• At least 8 years of experience in creative leadership, brand strategy, consulting, or a closely related field.
• Strong ability in conceptual thinking, creative direction, brand building, and strategic storytelling.
• A portfolio that shows success in solving business challenges through branding, narrative development, and creative strategy.
