Job Description:

We are looking for an Associate Creative Director to join our growing creative team. This is a team of brand thinkers with a deep passion for social because it’s where culture and audience insights take off.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead clients to evolve their approach and partner with the agency to deliver world-changing social thinking, campaigns, and content
  • Champion high-level story and visual craft at all times
  • Own and strengthen client relationships
  • Be a hands-on contributor and collaborator, especially in new business pitches
  • Proactively provide creative solutions for clients and inspire others to do the same
  • Ideate and execute against social and behavioral trends
  • Present ideas, work and thought leadership persuasively to all audiences
  • Create and nurture relationships across the business, whether it’s with strategy, client service, or production
  • Help build, manage, and support high-performing teams and direct and mentor our junior team members

Requirements:

  • Culturally literate and tapped into new & emerging platforms and formats
  • Keeping up with social trends, platforms, and internet culture
  • Expert in Adobe Suite, with strong design skills
  • Strong knowledge and use of AI tools and prompting
  • Strong understanding of video production and editing
  • Experienced in creating big ideas for big, ambitious brands
  • An ability to inspire, influence, and motivate others
  • Hybrid creative skills (e.g. a sharp wit and a good eye. You can art direct and write. You’re comfortable making and directing.)
  • On-set production and post-production experience is a plus
  • Willingness to get your hands dirty and lead by example
  • Experience guiding teams and leading creative projects
  • 5-7 years of experience working in creative industries (agency experience preferred)

Nice to have:

  • Traditional agency experience is not required, but it’s a plus
  • On-set production and post-production experience is a plus
What we offer:
  • Our passport program lets you explore and work from one of our 18 other offices worldwide, including Paris, Singapore, Madrid, Dubai, London and more
  • Hybrid work models and flexible hours, plus a work from anywhere policy for short-term stays in other regions
  • Generous vacation starting at 3 weeks + 1 extra week during the summer and over the holidays
  • Agency summer days (exact policy differs per campus and agency)
  • Modern, open co-working spaces with coffee & snack bars, located in great city neighborhoods, close to shops and restaurants and easy access to public transport
  • Dogs allowed, dedicated private wellness room (in select offices)
  • Regular team social events – holiday parties, seasonal gatherings, weekly happy hours, inspiring speakers and more
  • In-house learning & development sessions and annual career and growth conversations
  • Access to internal network of opportunities across all agencies
  • Focus on developing and recruiting BIMPOC Talent
  • Internal EDI group(s), programs & initiatives across Plus Company and opportunities to be involved in employee resource group(s)
  • Flexible benefits to support your individual lifestyle and life stage – with access to a personal wellness spending account you can use for a wide range of wellness expenses, including gym membership fees, pet care, education expenses, and much more
  • Comprehensive mental health support including access to a virtual mental health therapy clinic providing you with personalized therapist, guided iCBT programs and live therapy, access to health clinicians 24/7, and a holistic array of other health and wellness resources to support you and your family
