Remain hands-on as needed, contributing concepts, headlines, messaging, scripts, presentations, and other copy. Strengthen creative briefs to ensure strategic clarity while providing inspiration and direction for creative teams.

Present and champion creative work with clients, using strategic rationale and persuasive storytelling to build trusted relationships and demonstrate a deep understanding of their brands, business objectives, audiences, market dynamics, and creative challenges. Collaborate across Account Management, Strategy, Medical, and Project Excellence to deliver outstanding work efficiently and collaboratively. Lead, mentor, and develop Copy team members through ongoing coaching, feedback, performance reviews, and career development, providing clear direction while empowering teams to explore, problem-solve, and contribute their own thinking.

Oversee team workloads and assignments, maintaining high standards for quality, responsiveness, and accountability while estimating copy hours and providing input on staffing, resourcing, and project planning. Identify staffing needs and support talent acquisition, including interviewing and evaluating prospective creative talent. Manage multiple brands, teams, and priorities, balancing ambitious creative thinking with timelines, budgets, business needs, and available resources.

Support agency growth through pitches, new business opportunities, organic account growth, and broader agency initiatives. Champion innovation by exploring emerging technologies, AI capabilities, new platforms, and creative trends that can elevate the work. Strengthen the creative culture by fostering collaboration, curiosity, accountability, ambition, and respect, while consistently raising the creative bar for both the work and the teams around you.
