About the role

This is a player-coach role: equally comfortable leading a large-scale campaign team or operating solo on a fast-turn brief.
If you think you've got what it takes, please provide your cover letter, CV, portfolio and expected salary.
This position is based and located in New York.

Responsibilities

Lead, manage, and mentor a US creative team spanning senior, mid-weight, and junior creatives, graphic designers, and copywriters, directing in-house talent alongside freelance designers, copywriters, and production partners.
Own the end-to-end creative output of the US market, from converting commercial leads into winning pitches, through production, to final delivery.
Partner with Sales, Production, and Account Management to dissect client briefs and oversee the creative development of proposals that convert leads into revenue.
Own the end-to-end process of building cultural and strategy-driven pitches, including decks and supporting materials, and present proposals to clients in person and on video alongside the sales team.
Provide feedback across the full creative process, from strategy and concept through design and copy, and lead brainstorming that maintains the Hypebeast identity within client brief guidelines.
Work closely with editorial and sales teams to establish tone of voice and the look and feel of final visuals, and lead the creation of copy across brochures, sales materials, and finished projects.
Optimize creative processes, workflows, and inter-departmental working practices to manage a high volume of concurrent projects and deliver the best results.
Operate as a player-coach: lead large-scale campaign teams when the brief calls for it, and run solo on fast-turn work when the situation demands.
