• Partner closely with Brand Strategy to ensure creative work is grounded in sharp insight, clear positioning, and strategic intent

• Present creative concepts and campaign platforms to senior stakeholders and executive leadership with clarity and conviction
• Identify opportunities to extend and evolve the Engine brand into new channels, formats, and moments

• Highly conceptual with a sharp eye for how ideas extend and behave across touchpoints, channels, and formats
• Confident communicator and presenter who can advocate for creative decisions at the executive level
