Who We Are:

Omaze is on a mission to dream the world better, both for our customers and for the charities that we support every day. Omaze winners have gone to Lake Como with George and Amal Clooney, received Pope Francis’ Lamborghini, lived in Europe for a month or even received $1M cash. Meanwhile, Omaze experiences have helped build a community hub assisting the homeless population of LA, a children's hospice center in the UK and solar water farms in multiple countries around the world.

Who We’re Seeking:

We are looking for an agile and culturally curious Director of Creative Strategy to lead creative strategy efforts across Omaze’s campaigns. The ideal candidate is a blue sky creative thinker who understands how to translate consumer insights into actionable creative strategies in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. They lead with a customer-first approach to insights discovery and creative ideation, and are passionate about conducting customer-centric research across a variety of first and third party resources. 

Ideal candidates for this role are passionate about storytelling, building audience-led creative briefs, producing insights-driven creative strategies and pushing the boundaries of channel and format innovation.

Last, yet possibly most importantly, they will be a culture junkie at heart, obsessed with the latest platform trends and challenges, possessing a deep understanding and interest in rising subcultures shaping the digital zeitgeist. They’ll also have experience – and ongoing passion – infusing those trends and insights into effective creative strategies.

What you’ll do: 

• Demonstrate a strong ability to distill a wealth of information into simple and compelling plans, presentations and stories
• Conduct research, including social media analysis, landscape audits and trend mining
• Create insights that are actionable, goal-oriented and provides a unique perspective
• Understand the key trends that drive consumer behavior and affect the way that brands communicate – always living at the intersection of brand, culture, and creativity
• Develop emotive creative briefs to inspire customer-led, idea-centric strategies that creative teams can use to develop compelling work across three key areas: 1. Experiences (e.g. Cars, Travel, etc.), 2. Winner and 3. Impact (e.g. Charities, Nonprofits, etc.). 
• Examine all projects through an inclusive lens to reflect a profoundly diverse customer
• Collaborate cross-functionally and coordinate marketing campaign efforts with various internal teams and stakeholders
• Lead team brainstorms that efficiently produce breakthrough insights and ideas
• Provide leadership, coaching and mentorship to the Creative Strategy team

Don’t quite meet all the above requirements?  Apply anyway! We love talking to exceptional candidates. If the current role isn’t a fit, we’ll keep your information on file for the future.

 Our Ideal Candidate:

• 10-12 years experience as a creative strategist at a brand, publisher or agency
• Strong foundation in brand strategy, creative thinking and insights discovery
• Ability to discern customer insights and “human truths” from mounds of data
• Passion and empathy for the customer’s perspective, and ability to uncover “what’s in it for the customer?”
• Hands-on self-starter accustomed to prioritization, while working under pressure in a constantly evolving environment
• Excellent communication, collaboration and planning skills with meticulous attention to detail
• Experience ideating, producing and/or pitching multi-platform programs in partnership with creative counterparts
• Love/hate relationship (but more love) building compelling Google Slides presentations

What to Expect:

• Competitive salary and benefits including attractive equity package. 
• We're committed to putting the health of our employees first and are currently working from home with a stipend for office setup, continuation of company events (virtual), and more. 
• We actively seek out diversity of thought and experience to drive innovation. We welcome difference of background, identity, and perspective and work hard to ensure that all people can bring their authentic self to work at all times.
