Vice President, Creative Planning, Brand

We’re looking for a Vice President, Creative Planning who can find the idea hiding inside a business problem — then help turn it into something people want to talk about, participate in, and share. You’ll work across a portfolio of fast‑moving consumer brands, partnering with strategy and integrated teams to create earned-first ideas that can live anywhere: social, creators, experiences, partnerships, content, PR, and beyond.

This is a hands‑on creative leadership role for someone who loves the messy middle between insight and execution: finding the cultural tension, cracking the idea, making it bigger, and helping teams bring it to life. This role will be part of our Creative Planning team, partnering closely with a strategist partner, in collaboration with digital, social, analytics, and creator teams to support existing client work and new business opportunities primarily for our Brand Experience team.

The work revolves around creating integrated campaigns that connect brands with people through culture, creativity, earned influence, and unforgettable experiences. Your mandate is bigger than delivering strong creative work: you’ll help raise the creative ambition of Brand Experience — pushing teams beyond familiar category ideas toward work with a real reason to exist in culture. We believe people who live interesting lives are best positioned to deliver interesting ideas.

So, we encourage you to bring your whole self to work. If you are energized by fun and fast‑moving brands, love turning insights into experiences, and want to help define what’s next for modern brand communications, we would love to meet you.
