We are in need of a creative director to play an essential role in the marketing, creative, communications and digital departments. He/she will be responsible for leading his/her team, developing creative guidelines and directing creative work, including print collateral, websites, email campaigns, television and radio advertising, and many related tasks. He/she will often report directly to CMOs and other directors, and will rely on extensive experience and professional judgment to plan and executive projects.
