Responsibilities

  • Lead consultative conversations that connect business challenges to creative solutions
  • Guide clients through the full creative process—from brief and positioning through execution and delivery
  • Build and deliver proposals and pitch narratives with Creative Directors and Strategists
  • Position our agencies as a strategic creative partner, not just a delivery team
  • Clearly articulate how creative work—branding, campaigns, digital experiences, and content—drives measurable impact
  • Partner with Creative Directors, Strategists, Project Directors, and Operations to scope work accurately from the start
  • Hand off cleanly to delivery with clear briefs and aligned expectations
  • Bring market and client insights back to inform offering development
  • Align with Operations early on resourcing and timelines to keep ambition feasible

  • Experience scoping, pricing, and negotiating SOWs ($100K–$1M+ deal sizes)
  • Proven ability to grow accounts and expand relationships over time
  • Strong written and verbal communication—clear, direct, and confident
  • Experience navigating executive-level conversations and complex stakeholder environments
  • Ability to collaborate across creative, strategy, and operations to shape solutions that are both compelling and executable
  • Industry experience in fashion, beauty, retail, luxury, or consumer/CPG brands strongly preferred
