Never hesitate to jump in with a colleague to generate ideas, you’re both a leader and a collaborator driving the creative process forward.

Inspiring, mentoring, and motivating a group of creatives with a diverse set of backgrounds and skill sets.
Collaborating cross-functionally with a diverse mix of teams, balancing the needs of stakeholders, and always seeking opportunities to elevate our work.
Working closely with the CEO and leadership to generate communications systems for, by, and about GDP, including owned, social, and live-event platforms.
Qualifications Include:
4+ years experience in an advertising agency environment, with a majority of those years devoted to creating innovative brand campaigns and initiatives, as well as brand identity systems.
A love for the craft of advertising and brand storytelling, in all forms—all standing on a solid, fundamental foundation: great design.
Highly collaborative and resourceful. An entrepreneurial mindset, able to blaze trails as needed.
Excellent presentation, interpersonal, and communication skills, with the ability to convey concepts clearly and persuasively.
A deep interest in defining brand design systems. Whether it’s typography, photography, grid systems, or color, you draw inspiration from a wide range of creative outlets and bring that to your daily work.
Basic understanding of interaction design best practices when designing for digital environments.
Demonstrated fluency with design tools including the full suite of Adobe Creative Cloud and Sketch. Experience directing motion and broadcast. Competency working in Keynote and GSuite products. Figma and AfterEffects a plus.
