Looking for an ACD that's in love with owning the whole process, not just the Art + Copy. 6 month, full time contract.

More context:

Mettle is looking for an Associate Creative Director (Concept) to join our unconventional team. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of brand or agency experience, with a proven record driving projects from concept to delivery.

While you may not have an Art or Copy background, we’re looking for a big-picture thinker and communicator who always leads idea-first, regardless of medium. All to say, we look to celebrate and hone your craft, but also invite you to think beyond your wildest imagination.

The ideal candidate isn't shy of communicating directly with a client or other team members, is excited to understand how work is built (including budgets and production), and is capable of managing their own time and resources.

Things that would make you a great candidate:

You are a born problem solver and party-starter, because you’re a self-starter. You’re obsessed with making things better, whether that’s your morning coffee ritual or the perfect line of copy. You’re a strong communicator and thrive in collaborative environments. You’re the connector of your friend group and great at creating structure, process, and joy along the way. You love the work and you’re excited about exploring new ways to deliver things that you're proud of.

You are not joining a system, you are helping to build one.

Details:

• The role can be remote, but we do have an office in the city
• 6 Month contract starting June 15. Opportunity to extend/evolve after 6 months
• Full time, but flexible for the right candidate

Skills:

• 5+ years brand or agency experiencein a creative role
