No Jerks

There are many "enthusiastic" requests in this post. But the one that stands out the most is the bit about no "jerks." While the intent is admirable, seeing as how they've faced this issue enough to need to call it out. I'd say that anyone who's a jerk would still apply to this job (if they needed a job) cause, you know what, they're a jerk!

I'd think twice before going somewhere with this kind of baggage.

Creative Director

Ideal Qualities:
Inspiring Portfolio and Experience: Let’s start here. You have a killer book. It proves you’re a brilliant strategic thinker and that you’re capable of engaging an audience through any medium. Sounds like some book you got there. We need to see it. TV, digital and strong healthcare-related experience are musts. And at least a few years as a proven CD at an agency are essential. Tell us about that.
Mentor and Manager Extraordinaire: You have exceptional skills critiquing work and providing clear, actionable feedback for improvement. You love to encourage employee growth and development and support the vision and values of the agency. And you’re not a jerk about any of it. There are too many extremely talented, nice people out there to waste time on jerks.

Juiced Presenter and Builder of Relationships: You’re a storyteller and your presentations are awe-inspiring. And clients just love you so much they can’t stand it. They want you in every meeting. Charisma? It’s your middle name.

Conceptual Powerhouse, a.k.a. Idea Freak: You thrive on developing ideas within a range of mediums. You never shy away from creative problem solving for tough business challenges. And your idea-centric energy is crazy infectious.

Persnickety Perfectionist and Multitasking Magician: You’re sort of a pain (but not a jerk). Why? Because you’re always pushing for better ideas, better executions, better strategy. But still people love you—most of the time. Hey, it’s your job. And while you’re at it, you handle multiple projects at once without letting ‘em see ya sweat.

Experience:

• 10+ years experience with minimum of 6-8 years in agency a must.  Previous experience with healthcare clients a plus.
• Coaching and development of a team
• Bachelor's degree
