The Opportunity to Make an Impact

We are looking for a Group Creative Director who lives at the intersection of storytelling and strategy. You are a capital ‘C’ creative leader who is looking for the opportunity to lead the charge for bolder thinking, bigger wins, and award-caliber work that earns attention on a national (and global) stage.

At BPI, we help the world’s most recognized brands and most impactful organizations earn trust, shape perception, and drive change. Now, we’re ready to take our creative team from respected to recognized.

Our new GCD will play a pivotal role in this transition, and help guide the team through - and beyond - this exciting and explosive growth. We’re looking for someone with elite creative experience, a deep background in copy, and a strategic mindset — someone who thrives on taking big swings and can turn complex challenges into simple, unforgettable ideas, then rally teams to bring them to life through craft and with conviction.

• Location: 3 days in office presence from any of our office locations (NYC, DC, CHI, SF)
• Salary: $200,000 - $225,00

What You’ll Do

• Set the Creative Bar High… Then Raise It : Define the creative vision across multiple accounts, from the biggest brands to movement-defining nonprofits, pushing work that’s as smart as it is impactful.
• Put Us on the Map : Champion award-worthy thinking and execution that elevates BPI’s standing in the industry.
• Own the Room : Pitch, present, and sell breakthrough ideas to the most senior decision-makers, from C-suites to boards, and win their trust.
• Think Like a Strategist, Lead Like a Creative : Collaborate with strategists and account leads to turn complex business and social challenges into tight, powerful creative platforms and campaigns.
• Build a Team That Swings Harder : Lead, mentor, and inspire Creative Directors, ACDs, Copywriters, and Art Directors, to develop and produce work that stands out — and stands up to competition.

Requirements

You Bring

• 15+ years of creative experience in top ad agency environments, with at least 5 years leading creative teams.
• A background in copywriting, with a portfolio that blends strategic clarity and award-caliber craft.
• A proven ability to distill complex issues into big, resonant ideas that work across every channel.
• The presence, persuasion, and storytelling skills to win over C-suite leaders.
• A track record of building strong, ambitious creative teams — and making them better than they were before you.
• Fluency in experiential, activations, broadcast, digital, social, and video.

Bonus Points For :

• Experience with brand reputation, public affairs, or issue-driven work
• Familiarity with international or multilingual production

Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
