Role Overview

We’re looking for an Executive Creative Director to help lead the next chapter at Slate.

Now, we're looking for someone with exceptional creative instincts, high standards, and the ambition to help build one of the most distinctive brands in modern CPG.

• Champion original ideas. Protect what makes them special while navigating the realities of execution
• Hold every piece of work to the same creative standard. The smallest details matter just as much as the biggest campaigns
