Bringing together creative direction, writing and design, we take work from initial concept through to execution-all within one company, with a distinct voice and identity for each brand.\nAbout the Role:\nAs the volume, visibility, and complexity of creative work continue to grow across brands and business priorities, we need a senior creative leader who can raise the level of the work while also building the structure around it.\nThis role is designed for someone who can lead at a high level, manage and develop a strong creative pod, and stay hands-on in the moments that matter most.

If shortlisted, the recruiter will invite you to an initial Zoom conversation to discuss your background, what’s compelling you to Gen, and walk you through the interview process.\nGen is an equal opportunity employer, and we’re committed to fair, inclusive practices at every stage of the candidate and employee journey.
