: Job Details :

Code3 is an integrated marketing agency, powering business growth for digital disruptors and Fortune 500 leaders alike.

By harvesting insights and utilizing audience data, we work with our clients to develop scroll-stopping content and creative that performs and elevates the brands we work with across all digital media platforms.

• Support in managing the creative operations with leadership team
• Mentor Creative team members
• Integrate with other departments to ensure all work is cohesive and we are growing client relationships
• Balance working across multiple projects and workstreams, and support creative team members in prioritizing their work as needed
• Partner with the growth team and other team leaders to create compelling pitch materials - and pitch them - to drive Code3 revenue

Who will love this role:

• An innovator with a strong ability to identify emerging platforms and trends in the digital space
• An inspiring leader who is able to create a vision and bring along colleagues, teammates, and clients in that vision
• An experienced presenter who can sell their ideas and creative strategy to other leaders internally and externally
• A relationship builder who takes the time to understand their clients' needs and grow the partnership
• An adaptable collaborator who is receptive to feedback and knows how to find the best solution

You should have:

• Experience building a creative team/offering that is social and digital centered
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline oriented environment
• Ability to guide creative from big idea through execution
• Excellent communication skills
• A portfolio that wows - ideally with design experience
• An openness to experimentation and curiosity around AI and new technology
• Deep familiarity with social platforms (paid and organic), retail/commerce platforms (i.e. Amazon, Walmart, etc) and video (i.e. CTV)

Perks and Benefits:

• Full medical and dental benefits and generous retirement program
• Thoughtful parental leave and return program
• Flexible Time Off, holidays, quarterly Company “Recharge” Days, and holiday closure in December
• Ongoing learning and development opportunities
• Commitment to transparent DEIB practices
