Job Description

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration, and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions. We’re looking for a Group Creative Director with bold instincts and strategic clarity. Ideally, coming from a writing background and having that “yes, and” mindset — maybe even an improv background — not for humor (although a good sense of humor is always a plus), but for how that mentality fuels creative thinking, open collaboration, and the storytelling process. We want someone who can help build ideas with the team, not just lead from the top. The perfect candidate is someone who lives for style, fashion/beauty/home decor and knows how to turn those cultural instincts into fresh, distinctive ideas. They should be naturally curious, and love partnering with our strategy and social strategy teams to lead and shape the bigger vision, tapping into cultural trends and human truths to create work that earns attention and connects emotionally. To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it’s why so many stay with us a while. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another and encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture. If you’re equal parts mentor and maker, fluent in social, allergic to sameness, and hungry to do the kind of work that makes clients braver—let’s talk. You should have: A track record of award-winning, earned-centric and 360 creative work that breaks through Experience leading large, multi-level creative teams—and a reputation for growing talent, not just managing it Deep understanding of the beauty or personal care category, with an eye for cultural nuance and craft Proven success partnering across cross-functional teams (creative, strategy, production, social, etc.) The ability to set a high creative bar—and the tools to help others meet it BQs At least 10 years of relevant experience, preferably in an integrated agency setting. A bachelor’s degree, preferably in Fine Arts, Advertising, or other creative concentrations PQs Demonstrated examples of high-caliber creative work where you specifically lead the transformation of strategic thinking into best-in-class creative work Relevant agency experience in concept development, art direction, and/or copywriting within an integrated marketing, creative, advertising, or PR agency setting Understanding of the production process for initiatives of various shapes and sizes, executed across multiple platforms and formats Ability to craft and deliver presentations that sell ideas and expand client relationships Ability to build and lead a team of art directors, copywriters, and designers, while also effectively collaborating with other internal and external teams Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment Grounded understanding of the role that PR and social media play in the overall communications marketing mix $150,000 - $230,000 a year
