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:

Creative direction and leadership

Establish and nurture strong relationships with client team

Guide and mentor more junior creatives and create the conditions for the team to do great work

Requirements:

Killer portfolio showing solid conceptual abilities and craft

Demonstrated ability to reach beyond traditional advertising approaches into innovative and unexpected solutions

Knack for presenting ideas in a compelling way both informally and formally

Collaborative approach

10+ years of experience with at least two to three years in a creative director capacity

Flexible work from home options available.
