Drive all creative work in the Marketing function, ensuring it consistently ladders up to the company strategy and moves key brand and business metrics.

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of creatives; set a high bar for craft, narrative, and taste while creating space for diverse voices and experimentation.

Turn great ideas into end-to-end campaign concepts; guide direction across channels (social, video, experiential, partnerships), from insight to execution.

Partner with Brand Marketing to shape briefs, make strategic trade-offs, and deliver work that's part of culture and drives brand love and growth.

Partner with Growth Marketing to build a performance marketing creative studio enabling our user acquisition efforts across the globe.

Partner with our Country Marketing team to lead and evolve our global agency roster; ensure scopes, standards, and handoffs produce A+ creative worldwide.

Oversee creative feedback and quality across all project stages; provide clear, timely decisions that keep momentum without sacrificing excellence.

Inspire the organization with industry trends, creative references, and new platforms; codify what's "on-brand" and how we measure brand success.

12+ years in brand/creative roles with significant time leading other creative leaders; proven success shipping integrated campaigns across a wide range of budgets at a high bar.

Demonstrated ability to set vision, influence senior stakeholders, and connect creative decisions to strategy, KPIs, and ROI.

A track record of turning insights into iconic, culture-driving ideas and guiding multi-disciplinary teams from concept to launch.

Excellent communication and feedback skills; you simplify complex topics, make fast, sound calls, and bring others along.

Experience managing agencies and external partners across markets, with a reputation for raising quality and speed.

The ability to work from or relocate to New York City or London, UK

? Exceptional candidates will have...

Experience working with IP-led brands

Global brand experience, including creative leadership across multiple regions and cultures.

A portfolio demonstrating world-class craft and storytelling- work that drives buzz and earned media attention instead of relying on paid channels for distribution.

Experience establishing clear creative operating mechanisms with marketing, product, and design partners.

We post a multi-level salary range for all of our roles.

This is not inclusive of the rest of our awesome portfolio that includes equity compensation and world-class benefits. Our salary ranges are the same for all US locations. Your recruiter can share more details about the range for a specific level during the hiring process.
