Creative Lead

TMG is seeking a Creative Lead to serve as the firm’s senior in‑house creative resource — a role that spans hands‑on motion and digital design, direct client‑facing work, and firm‑wide creative support for teams across TMG.

• A diverse collection of work across digital, social, animated, and print design

• At least one example of brand identity development, pitch/presentation design, or multi‑format campaign assets
• At least one example of a presentation, report, or deck built for internal or executive use to demonstrate range beyond digital/social work
