• Collaborate with local brand, media, PR, and legal stakeholders to deliver work smoothly through approvals

• Guide production choices to balance craft, speed, and budget, and to support sustainable production where possible

• Support and develop the local creative team, including freelancers, by creating clarity, coaching, and opportunities to grow

• Escalate risks early, solve problems quickly, and keep delivery on track

What you need to be great in this role: 

• A portfolio demonstrating strong social-first creative work, including always-on and campaign content

• Experience leading creative on brand social channels, with strong platform craft across formats and placements

• Ability to direct and improve work across copy, design, and motion, with a clear eye for quality
