• You’ll join a six-person Creative Strategy leadership team: the Chief Creative Officer, the Head of Creative Strategy, three other Creative Leads, and you.• Your remit is cross-departmental rather than pod-specific – you’ll coach our Senior Creative Strategists layer to help increase strategic ability, and drive strong performance outcomes for our biggest brands.• You will raise the creative quality bar across the pods you manage, and own the craft layer of how the department stays ahead of the game.• This is a Creative Lead role with a department-wide focus. You won’t own a pod or run an account directly, but 40% of your time is still billable – embedded in the strategic support of up to four senior strategists, coaching their thinking on the accounts they own.• The other 60% is split across tier 1 account risk mitigation, departmental training sessions, new-joiner onboarding, and self-development.• If you’re a creative strategist with 5+ years of experience who has been deep in the trenches and ready to become a leader, has deep craft instincts, and genuine energy for coaching, this is the role where your impact compounds across every client in the book.
