Vice President, Creative Director

<p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The <strong>VP, Creative Director </strong>is a senior creative force at Highwire — a strategic thinker and hands-on leader who drives creative excellence across multiple client accounts while elevating the work of the teams around them. This role sits at the intersection of creative vision, client partnership, and team development, owning the creative direction for high-profile campaigns while helping shape how the agency's creative practice evolves.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The VP, Creative Director brings a sophisticated design sensibility and sharp strategic instinct, translating client challenges into compelling, insight-driven creative solutions. They lead with confidence in client settings, command the trust of their teams, and set a high bar for innovation and quality in everything they touch. They are equally concepting bold ideas in a whiteboard session, presenting to senior client stakeholders, and rolling up their sleeves to ensure flawless delivery. We expect this to be a hands-on role.</span></p> <h3><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></span></h3> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Creative Strategy &amp; Direction</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Define and drive creative strategies that align with client objectives and Highwire's broader agency goals.</span></li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Lead the development of innovative, insight-led campaigns across multiple accounts simultaneously.</span></li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Partner with Digital Leads, strategy, and communications teams to ensure creative is fully integrated into holistic campaign thinking.</span></li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Set and uphold high creative standards across all client work, championing quality and originality at every stage of the process.</span></li> <li style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-
