Let’s cut to it. We’re after the kind of Creative Director who isn’t just “creative,” but creative in a way that’s wired straight into the zeitgeist. Someone who knows the difference between a good idea and a culture-shifting one, and who knows how to get it made. You’re a strategist’s strategist, a leader’s leader, and the person people trust to turn chaos into clarity. You’ve helmed experience end-to-end, built teams that punch above their weight, and still manage to make the room lighter and brighter when you walk in. You’re the benchmark others measure against.

Why GMR? Because we’re not like the rest, and it’s not just something we say in pitch decks. We’re ingenious, flat by design, and allergic to big egos (ours or yours). We believe in ruthless transparency and radical support. We root for each other. We fight for the greatest ideas because it’s what’s right. We trade credit for collaboration and status for momentum, and right now, we’ve got more of that than ever. If you read this and think yes to all of this, it’s time to talk. You might just do your best work here, and we’re set to let you fly.

Please submit your portfolio or samples of your work to be considered for this role.

REQUIRED SKILLS

• Lead creative that disrupts, not decorates. You’ll shape ideas from a blank page to award-winning, business-shifting campaigns. If it doesn’t make people talk, it’s not done yet.
• Be the insight hunter. You turn data, culture, and human behavior into creative gold by partnering with strategists to find the signal in the noise.
• Pitch like a legend. You own the room, turning concepts into must-buys and clients into believers, first meeting or a final sell.
• Accelerate from brief to brilliance. Your speed isn’t just about moving fast; it’s about moving smart, transforming briefs into work that sets new standards.
• Steer diverse creative experiences. Digital, social, experiential, emerging tech are in your vernacular. You lead teams and projects across every channel, every platform, every audience.
• Build strategic client relationships. You’re a problem-solver, a trusted advisor, and a creative diplomat that is always building and defending the kind of partnerships that make great work possible.
• Architect the team. You design team structures that balance talent, ambition, and sanity. You make sure the right people are in the right roles for maximum impact.
• Set the bar and raise it. You inspire, motivate, and demand excellence, creating a culture where great work is the baseline, not the exception.
• Give feedback that actually helps. You’re clear, direct, and real-time with your feedback which grows talent, not just critiquing it.
• Create a space for brilliance. Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword here at GMR. It’s how you build the environment where creativity thrives.
• Coach, mentor, elevate. You watch, encourage, and push your team to be better every day, ensuring consistency, growth, and a bit of magic in every project.
• Never stop learning. Curiosity isn’t optional. You’re relentlessly expanding your skills, your vision, and your impact.
