McGarrah Jessee is hiring: Creative Director Copy in Austin

McGarrah Jessee is seeking a Creative Director/Copywriter to head up one of our longtime clients and a significant agency account. Hint, hint: It helps if you’re a fan of a beloved restaurant with orange and white stripes that serves up hot and fresh food 24/7.

Although McJ is Unbound, this role requires someone who lives in Austin or elsewhere in the state of Texas - also open to relocation.

The candidate needs to have experience running an account or multiple accounts as a CD. You need to have been in a position of managing multiple, cross-disciplinary teams to create effective and award-winning work on a national brand.

There will be a good amount of client exposure with this position, so highly developed interpersonal skills and an aptitude for business are a must. You must be a compelling, persuasive advocate for the work you will help create. As big as those opportunities are, there is also a need for attention to detail. There are a lot of moving parts on this account and they are all important.

Responsibilities:

1. Creative direction and leadership
2. Establish and nurture strong relationships with client team
3. Guide and mentor more junior creatives and create the conditions for the team to do great work

Requirements:

1. Killer portfolio showing solid conceptual abilities and craft
2. Demonstrated ability to reach beyond traditional advertising approaches into innovative and unexpected solutions
3. Knack for presenting ideas in a compelling way both informally and formally
4. Collaborative approach
5. 10+ years of experience with at least two to three years in a creative director capacity

Flexible work from home options available.
