SVP, Creative Director, FUEL

*The person has been and will be a powerhouse in all things social/digital/experiential*

SVPs are those who have more than proven themselves as a leader to our clients, team and agency—they have consistently put in exceptional work and are one of the highest performers. They can be trusted to lead a pitch and be in the room to deliver the final presentation. They are key to our future. And because of this, they are ready to lead beyond their team and clients, but at a department and agency level. GCDs take on a leadership role department-wide in addition to their team responsibilities. They are tapped to lead something our agency needs to grow and their skill set aligns.

They are not just making the work better, they are proactively figuring out how to persuade clients, understanding and navigating personalities and politics. Their opinion matters and is expected by the client, because they have earned the trust to lead them to great work.

Responsibilities:

· You have a book that shows your conceptual prowess and proves you're passionate about work that spans the modern consumer journey, from digital, social, mobile, experiential and the unknown.

· You understand, appreciate, and are a student of the craft of art direction. You know what makes something work visually and are able to articulate if and how it does and does not.

· You have experience leading creative teams, mentoring your creatives, helping them grow, and succeed.

· You are a skilled presenter and active listener, taking clients on the journey of how we got to our recommendation, with an ability to defend our work without being defensive about our work.

· You play well with others, respect other disciplines and are ready and willing to roll up your sleeves, get in the trenches, and make great work together.

· You get a rush out of using creativity to solve real business problems, and have no problem sitting across from CMO's and CEO's and championing our ideas.

Qualifications:

· You have at least 3 years in a creative leadership role.
