  • Proven track record of developing and presenting strategic creative solutions that have directly led to new business, client upsells, or significant revenue growth
  • 5+ years in a direct management role, leading creative production, project management, or client service teams
  • Strong business and commercial acumen with a focus on achieving revenue targets
  • Exceptional client-facing communication, consultative selling, and presentation skills
  • Financial literacy (experience with P&L, budget management, or other financial KPIs)
  • Expertise in stakeholder alignment and the ability to sell through creative concepts to senior clients and internal leaders
