What we’re looking for

We are looking for a Creative leader who can create a vision and inspire a team to accomplish it; who has a business-first mindset about creative work; and who has a track record of leading happy, effective creative teams with inclusivity and empathy. Productivity is also a reflection of good leadership, so we are also looking for someone who values process, prioritization, and efficiency.

If you are right for this role, you will push past safe and predictable ideas, helping lead the team to create work that resonates with and inspires our Beauty and Fitness audiences. Your portfolio should represent an ability to tell culturally relevant, compelling stories with beautiful execution, regardless of the audience. You should have experience building creative for digital marketing channels like web, email, display, social, landing pages, etc. 

You will need to be seen as a trusted leader among cross-functional leadership groups. You should be experienced in weighing options based on business impact, and focusing on accomplishing business objectives as you give feedback and direction. You should have experience influencing roadmaps and partnering with product marketers (or similar) and senior leadership. You should be confident in navigating complex challenges and have an open mind to non-creative perspectives. This position will report to the Group Creative Director.

• Experience in in-house creative teams; ideally with a mix of agency and in-house experience
