  • Actively make and produce work — rolling up your sleeves alongside a team of doers to bring ideas to life
  • Own every TV brief that comes through — from first idea to final frame
  • Partner with strategy, account, and production teams to align creative with client objectives
  • Drive new business pitches with bold, fresh visual thinking
  • Help build and elevate the team's capabilities in broadcast and film as the department grows
  • Sustain a high-output culture that still prioritizes balance and wellbeing

Who You Are

  • A relentlessly curious problem-solver who distills complex brand challenges into clear, compelling visual stories (Brains)
  • A bold, adaptable creator who challenges the status quo, champions brave ideas, and owns the work from first sketch to final cut (Courage)

What You'll Need

  • Extensive experience in art direction and creative leadership in an agency setting
  • A portfolio with significant TV, film, branding, and integrated campaign work 
  • Exceptional conceptual thinking paired with strong hands-on execution
  • Proven ability to present and sell creative work to clients, especially in high-stakes new business scenarios
  • Deep understanding of the broadcast and video production process
  • A genuine passion for the craft and a desire to mentor and elevate the talent around you
