Creative Directors

About the Role
Role Details
We are looking to increase our network of Creative Directors working in our Broadway studio on project specific, temporary contracts. This role is a key pillar in our multidimensional design work offering concept and narrative/storytelling direction to the interdisciplinary team. We have some great long-term relationships, but as our portfolio grows we're looking to build our networks and meet new collaborators that can co-deliver our next stage of projects.

We're interested to hear from people who actively work in project specific temporary contracts and/or freelance contracts. To manage expectations we are not offering permanent contacts for this role at this time.

As a Creative Director in our team/s you will have direct experience on design-based projects and significant experience collaborating directly with Designers across specialisms. You will be able to work regularly within New York - we're unable to consider applications from those working remotely for this opportunity.

Key Responsibilities
The essential functions include, but are not limited to the following:

Collaborate with the cross-disciplinary Design & Producing teams to transform ideas into high-quality, multidimensional experiences.
Attend client meetings, interpret briefs, build strong narratives and help shape achievable creative visions for a wide range of project contexts, including (but not limited to) creative treatments, storyboards, script writing, brief decks and style frames. 
Be comfortable leading areas of projects and/or teams from conception through to execution, ensuring the creative vision meets the client brief, aligns with project objectives and sustains our internal high standards. 
Work with Producers to manage timelines and project evaluation.
Create presentation materials for existing projects and new business as required.
