  • Outstanding portfolio demonstrating best-in-class digital work. 
  • Experience collaborating closely with Leadership, Product, and Legal/Policy teams
  • Ability to translate market research, data, and strategy to creative solutions.
  • Exceptional communication skills—you can effectively communicate your creative decisions, and what you passed up and why.

  • Empathy for the customer/user, and empathy for individuals on a creative team.

 

We continually review ranges to address skills, experience and markets. Base salaries are determined during our interview process, by assessing a number of factors that include, but aren’t limited to, a candidate’s experience and skills relative to the scope and responsibilities of the position. For current CM employees, tenure will also be a consideration.
